We all know that its normal to feel bad and hurt when someone we like or love don't feel the same way towards us. I've been on this situation before. I always keep in mind that i will recover sooner. Or better things will come along my way. Instead of denying my emotions I faced it and i get to deal with the pain. I reflect on the positive thoughts and start to move on forward. I hang around with friends and it really did help me a lot. How about you guys? What will you do if its only a one-sided love affair? God Bless!!!!

Question is, "Why do we love a person?" Do we just love a person because we are hoping that somehow they will love us in return. Or we just love them. Just simply. Plainly. Whenever I think about unrequited love, I think about much suffering. For me the greatest form of love is the one which is not reciprocated. But make sure that it doesn't demand. A love who stays on one corner and just watches is the one I'm actually talking about. It's enough to give it one shot. Profess. But if she nudges... then take a hint. It's as simple as that.

loving a person has no reasons. it is true that when you love someone you don't have to expect that they will love you back though it hurts so much. Love is sacrifice.

I admit that I have been in a one-sided love affair. I can't deny this hard situation to deal with. But you have no choice left because you cannot force the person you love to love you back. All you can do is to watch that person go with the person he/she loves. During those days when I had my own story of one-sided love affair, I often shed tears - they were countless days. I always take time to reflect however possible it is for us to be together. As my mind convenes with the real world and cannot trace any possibility of this one-sided love affair to be two-sided, I'll end up crying again. I just let those tears come although I cry privately. Crying time and again makes me feel better. It will also lead me to a time realizing that the tears are not worth it which urges me then to stop and move on. In crying also, I have had absorbed many ideas and helped me to grow more mature. I have been very positive about life. I have been very open to opportunities that will make me busy. But upon leaving the person I love, I always make prayers to satisfy both of us with the our own choices on how to lead our personal lives. This is something very powerful. I can attest to that that all people I have fell in love with in the past are very happy now with their own lives because every tear equals a word in a prayer.

I agree with you prayer is the most powerful weapon for all our trials. I've been in a one sided love affair with my best friend way back in high school. It really hurts a lot seeing the one you love with someone else they love and who love them too. I cried a lot and wishing that one day he would notice me not as his bestfriend. But someone who love him more than friendship. When we part ways after graduating from high school i tried to move one until we finished college. I tried to date and also with the help of our friends i fully recovered. Now, im happy with my fiancee and sad to say my best friend is not happy with his life right now. We've been seeing each other on special occasions with our friends. But im praying that someday he can find the girl that would make him happy.

I have been through this... But my case is a little different... The girl I am talking about here, did know that I was in love with her, madly... But she pretended that she didn't understand and in some way, made me feel that I was going to get her... I had so many dreams of marriage etc... But later, it changed... she exploited me and used me and then left me alone...
My advice to you is to 'move on!' Or at least, don't get involved to a huge extent. It is going to harm you only. The person you love will go ahead one day and you'll be left alone. It has happened to me and there is no reason, why it shouldn't happen in your case! although, I pray to Lord that it should never happen to anyone again.. But I know it will keep happening... MOVE ON!!!
Remember, someone loves you too, more than you love this person... Respect the one, who loves you madly... That is my advice!!!

If I am deeply in love with the person it would be enough for me that I have the opportunity to show him my love.. Because I know that definitely, time will come that I will be waking up with this unfair situation and will gain my pride again.. But for now I will enjoy first loving the person I love..
That is if I am really deeply in love, if not.. Well, "It's not my lost, it's yours" Goodbye to him...

Well, to be together you should have the same feeling for one another.. if not the relationship will have some problems.. but it is still work able i think... being tolerate to one another is the most important thing... love will eventually come...

It is good to love but sometimes it always end up the way that we didnt expected to. Your are correct on focusing on the positive side so that it will help you move on. Because we need to love ourself before we can say that we can love someone else. I know it may sound like I am being selfish but having a one sided love affair is not fair as well. But if you really love the person then why not go and follow your hear but think of the consequences. And if your willing to go to the whole process then be it. We will pray for you hoping that one day will come that person will open his/her heart and realize that you are there.
