They say: “Love is the most wonderful things of all time”. When someone's in love, that is absolute the best moment of life. But, who knows for sure that we always be loved back by the-one-we-love?

So, we have people who're extremely lucky to be able to enjoy the happiness of loving and being loved. And then, there are some who only have the chance to fall in love with somebody but never get that person's attention in return; which is called one-sided love.

Have you ever experienced something like this?

This is where we all share our stories...

After all, love is definitely a double-edged blade, especially when it's one-sided.

Ah, yes, of course.

I had a friend, a really good friend. He was almost perfect - smart, cute, funny, and we were really close. And I don't know, I just started liking him more and more. He was always there for me, and I could talk to him about anything, and he'd give me advice and comfort me. One night we were talking, and he suddenly asked me, "What would you say if I asked you out?" I was panicking so bad, like it's what I wanted, but I was nervous as well because I had no idea what to say. So I said, "I'd probably say yes ... why, are you asking me out now?" I was all fluttering inside and internally screaming with joy, but then he said, "I don't know ... maybe ..." And then he changed the topic. And hooked up with some girl at school a few days later. -_- So close ... and I still kind of have feelings for him, and it's been like 2 years. UGH WHY

>>2 True, I agree.
We're always the ones who can't forget our loves, yet they forget us so easily. No matter how many times we ask ourselves “Is it worth to remember such person?” - whether the answer is yes or no - we still can't clear their images out of minds.
One-sided love sucks. ;w;


As for me, I liked a boy. He was neither handsome, cool nor special in any ways, but he was a really nice guy; at least to me, that's how he seemed. When I was with him, I felt safe and comfortable and happy. Days after days, my feelings towards him grew stronger. I did want to confess to him, but I didn't want to destroy our beautiful friendship, either. So, I chose to ignore my love for him and stayed silent. And then, one day, BUMP, he got himself a girlfriend. The more time he spent with his lovely sunshine, the less he hung out with me than in the old times.

And so, our stories ended and we never met again, ever. I guess it must have been a few years since I last saw his face. But sometimes, whenever I walk to places - where we usually went together, whenever I do things - which we always had our fun when doing together, they all remind me of him. I miss him. And it'll be more correct to say that: I did not like him. I like him.

... Yet, I wonder if he still remember someone-used-to-be-his-best-friend? Probably not.

Hi there!

One-sided love is terrible. It kills you everyday.
I used to like (ermm... I still like) a boy who attended my school. He's not a close friend of mine, but we've known each other for a long time.
Well, even if I'm very shy, I tried to talk to him and to be funny and friendly, but he was just... not interested. I had to give up, unfortunately.
Now I don't see him very often (he moved to another city for studying) but sometimes I still think about him... I just believe he was the right guy for me, I can't help thinking anything but this.

I'll hardly find someone else like him, and that makes me sad.

I used to be completely head-over-heels for this girl and I asked her out on several occasions. I got turned down every time, but she always said she really liked me, though I LOVED her. Days went on, months went by, and eventually I find out some discouraging news. While she was getting 'friendly' with me I found out she had a boyfriend and I confronted her about it. This is one of the few times I've cried over a girl in my life and it was pretty harsh. I stupidity forgave her and we... I mean I tried to prove to her I was worth her time. I made my move one night and kissed her and well... she didn't even react. She didn't push me away or embrace me. She just stood there and that's when it hit me. She didn't feel the same way I did about her. And so, I just gave up. It hurt for a long time, still kinda does, but it was for the best. There was no sense in dwelling over someone I can't have. For the record, I still love you Daynah, and I always will.

I hate these kinds of situations. It happened to me 2 years ago. I had just moved to a new school district. I didn't know anyone, and being as shy as I was, I didn't talk to anyone. By the end of the first month, I had a few friends. One of which was a girl who had also just moved there over the summer. As we talked, I learned that she loved anime(and had a sailor moon costume), she loved video games, her favorite was Halo which just happened to be mine as well, and she laughed at my jokes. She actually liked me. It wasn't long after that I fell in love with her. So, a few weeks later, I confessed to her. Sadly, I was met with rejection; She told me that she would, but that she was waiting for someone else who she had known far longer than me. So I gave her, her space, but thats just it. Despite the fact she said we were still friends, she stopped talking to me, she stopped coming to free period, and she seemed to be avoiding me. 2 and a half months later, right before Christmas, I tried again. This time I was met with a very harsh reply as well as comments from 2 of her friends calling me a creeper and acting as if I was the worst possible person on the Earth.

Now, I did this all through letters. Both times. It wouldn't be till months later that I realized how desperate I had sounded and how clinically insane I sounded. I still love her to this day, but we don't talk or anything. I'm afraid to talk to her again, cuz I feel she might get a restraining order.

I remember before i met my fiance i was in love with a girl.
I had just moved back to my hometown and i had just started attending the school there, The very first day i saw this girl and she was very beautiful and quite intelligent. Within the next week we quickly became friends and i started to develop a crush on her. Well 2 months later we were still friends and we spent every waking moment together, almost as if we were dating, which we were not. I was scared to ask her, completely terrified. I had fallen in love with her by the 3rd month of us knowing each other and i could see she liked me as more than a friend, but i was still too terrified to ask her. Well the school year ended before i could ask her. So after somehow managing to keep our friendship alive through the summer and me keeping my personal feelings hidden as best i could we stayed this way for another year and a half. One day i decided to share my feelings with her, she had been prodding and kind of leading me into believing that she liked me so i asked her, and that's when she broke my heart, after her leading me on and dragging me around on the hook for almost two years, and me being madly in-love with her, she rejected me and her reasoning was that i was too good for her, she said she wasnt "worthy" of being with me and no matter how much i tried to convince her that she was more than worthy that i wasnt anything special and that i loved her she still said no and quite frankly it was the worst heartache i have ever felt. Although i do not love her anymore and i am engaged i still have feelings for her to this day.

I had a friend who i had a crush on she loved all the same things i loved and we would always hang out together. We would always flirt together and i thought i loved her. But when we started to date she started to be a jerk to me. I have a.d.d so ill zone out of conversations and people will sometimes have to ask me something 3 times before i hear them. I dont have medication for it so i end up struggling in school so she took that as a sign that im stupid. So she started to call me a dipshit and a retard. I asked her to stop but she said it was her personality to be rude and critical. So a month later of a horrible relationship i broke up with her. But i still have to deal with her since she lives down the street and goes to the same school as me.

When I was 11 I went to summer camp and got a crush on one of the older kids. He was 14 at the time. He was interested in me for a while, we hung out together for a whole month in fact, but when we found out each others ages it became awkward. He looked younger then he really was, and I looked older then I really was. I still really like him, but he pretty much refused to think I even existed after that. So I guess I guess it was a one- sided love after we found out each others ages.

9th grade. Just got over a huge self esteem rut. Decided that I might as well just keep my head up high and wait for someone to actually like me for who I am as a person. Then just before the school year ended, I met her. Beautiful, smart, one of the kindest girls you'd ever meet. Wasn't one of those girls that'd flunk out of classes or dress in provocative clothing. She was my definition of the perfect girl. So, in the few weeks before summer, we started hanging out more at school up until the day school got out. Spent the next summer just trying to make the days go by faster so I could be with her again since we live too far away to walk or bike to each other. Eight long weeks later, school was back in session and we started hanging out even more. Eventually, I got the guts to try and ask her if she felt the same, hoping to god that she did. She didn't. I spent the next week just kinda sulking to myself at home and hiding my pain at school. Every day afterward, I kept telling myself over and over that she'd reconsider later, but now it feels like we're sort of drifting apart as friends.

I had those times. And it is definitely one of the best and one of the hardest times of my life.

I had a crush on my best friend's best friend. We went to the same high school and I only notice how beautiful and "nice" she are when we were in our Junior's year. Eventually, I fall in love with her everyday we talk and I became so loyal and true to her to the point that I almost gave up my grades but I hopefully managed to be on track somehow. I did everything for her, but in the end I think that my efforts aren't enough for her to love me back. She did flirt, but that's the best case I can say. This goes on until we graduated and now, my heart beats peacefully now on other people.

I had a crush on a boy that moved next door to me before the break and i just couldnt stop thinking of him and i still can't we stared hanging out a few days after and we become really great friends and almost never apart he tell funny jokes and makes me blush all the time but i didnt know for sure if he liked me but he started acting nervous around me and we actually got together and i believe love is the greatest thing ever

So I must be the biggest loser n the planet because I am sitting at a bar and feel a compulsive need to vent.

I have a girlfriend... But... Our problem is.. I'm selfish and she doesn't tell me her problems about me.. For example: She didn't tell me that, she got uncomfortable with me hugging and kissing her. So, I went all out and said my sorry. . . Should I even be sorry? . . . I don't know...

bump!

ah
I don't know if this is off topic or not but
one of my friends recently said that she loved me and she wants to go out with me and...
I don't know man
I don't think I like her that way, but I don't want to see her so sad, certainly not as sad as your sitations all sound
I couldn't bear being the cause of so much distress

This thread is so depressing... it hits close to home too :(

I've been on *both* sides of one-way love for so long...

>>18 If you don't like her in that way, then don't involve yourself in a romantic relationship with her. Most relationships that begin with one-sided love almost ALWAYS end badly, and it'll be harder to break up with her and cause her even more pain, the further along the track you are.

Wow, you are really poetic.
