i happened to like a guy who's taken. i've stooped so low just to make him notice me. i never really thought about the consequences of what might happen to me if i continue to try to win him. he's a really good guy. one of the best.. that's why i really like him. but then nothing ever happens. he looks at me and can see me only as his friend. i was stupid enough to hope that there would something magical that's going to happen if i tell him how i feel. wow.. all he did was look at me, smile, then said, "you know i have a girlfriend right?" sigh.. at least he was polite. then i went home, a bit shell-shocked.. i couldn't think well.. later that night, i began to reflect.. wow.. how could i have been so stupid, liking a guy for months and trying to win him knowing that he has a girlfriend.. where's my self-respect? where's dignity and pride? wow.. i never really thought about the outcome when i told him how i felt about him.. man, this really sucks! but the next day, we met again.. he said, "u ok?" i smiled at him and said, "never been better. thanks.." wow, at least he didn't embarass me.. haha.. then i realized, "enough's enough.. just move on.."
it's quite hard.. but at least now i'm trying to stop making a fool out of myself.. ha.

Hey, it's better to learn that lesson sooner than later right? I think we all do immature things motivated by the blind need for self-gratification that make us question our own values. You should be proud of yourself for realizing that both the guy you were interested in and yourself (especially yourself) are better than that. Mistakes are the best way to look deeper into ourselves. The sad fact is a lot of people would have missed the lesson.
Cheers.

I always believed that doing something is better than doing nothing at all. But ofcourse sometimes we should know when to give up. I have the same experience as yours a few years ago. I have decided to tell my best friend that I love him. The result is that he did not talk to me for a month but I am not bothered by it since having the feeling out is really liberating. I am proud that I did tell him. He may not love me back but atleast when the time comes I will not have "should have beens". He is married now and I am with my special someone right now. Rejection is part of life there is nothing else to do than accepting it and dealing with it and getting over it. Go girl!

What the???
Hey! There are thousands of guys out there who would most likely love to know you and who you would like as well.
Why ruin it for someone else and make a pest and fool of yourself when there are so many other options out there.
Move on!!
There are plenty of fish in the sea!!
