For me, the worst thing about unrequited love is the asymmetry between the intensity of one's emotions and the object of one's affections.

You could be dying inside and they could be drinking tea and composing a shopping list apparently without a care in the world. It's one of the lonliest feelings imaginable.

Unrequited love is indeed one of the most painful experiences anyone can have.

How are you today Grisha?

It was helpful to the extent that it reinforces my growing conviction that one shouldn't date a women who shows interest first.

disagree about what? what is meant by "poor girl"? i guess you are talking to grisha because that is the sort of language that i expect he may understand.

just leave my words out of your quotes if you are not referring to them and you will save me the energy of trying to calculate what you mean, and therefore save me the energy of formulating a reply.

deal, disagreeing with not dating women that show interest first. seems unfair to women in general.

if only somebody would show interest in me, i'd surely be willing to date them, but this has never happened. why should i be interested in anybody who is not interested in me?

I hate unrequited love. It's the only kind of romantic love I've ever felt.

Well it would seem logically that this type of love would be the most common anyway...

I've been on the other side of the equation too - so sometimes I feel rejection is just bad karma coming back to bite me.
