I've read a lot of mangas (especially in Shoujo-ai/Yuri/Yaoi genres) where characters are really pining for their BF's (or someone close) love. It got me thinking how many people in the "real world" would actually be in that situation and if so what would they do? I haven't been in that situation mainly because I chose not to be... My moto is it's easier to be loved then to actually love... therefore if I did love someone that badly and it's not returned I'll move on... it's better to have your heart broken sooner rather than later since either way, it's gonna be broken. What is the geneal concensus on unrequited love?

A lot of people I know end up in that position, and most of them end up all... depressed about it -_- Would seem better to move on, especially if you don't intend to do something about turning that unrequited love into something more.And I wholeheartedly agree with your motto. But for me, I try not to fall in love at all...

now wouldn't that just be you're trying hard not to have anything in your life change at all? though i'm in no position to say this since i don't even know what it means to love at all. (there's no such word in my head as of right now) But hey moving on means graduating from one thing that make you become what you are now. Depressed and all would be normal then.

funny you talk about it because err I attached to quickly to people who touched my heart... but humm when I think it can become serious I suddenly run away because afraid of getting closer...i don't know what love is and try to figure it out since 1 month now... but err this is quite difficult... but sometimes i think that pain of loneliness is better than pain of love! so being able to move forward when you feel your love is unrequited love is really the best thing to do... i have been attached to a guy and it was quite confused but in the end he rejected me but he treated me really badly... before that i keep being attached and didn't know how to forget him... but when I realized how badly he was talking to me, I realize how stupid i was for liking him... so in the end i had so much pain going through all this... if you can avoid it, better to do so ! don't stay on an unrequited love... your motto is the best, just keep it ^^ and i wanna add something else : when someone doesn't like you back, isn't it better to respect his/her feelings ? instead of keep going on ? you can stay friend and one day he would be the one falling for you but... better respect other feelings first ^^

when you say "BF", do you mean bestfriend?

I dunno, I'm the same as the OP. I might crush on some one, but I don't pine, nor dwell on it, unless there is a possibility that they could have feelings for me. Then I totally let myself dive head first into the relationship - which isn't always advisable, but man it's fun to be on cloud 9 with a new love so wrapped up in each other.

I've been in this situation before. I was in love with my best friend for 10 years. Only recently have I finally been able to move on. And I'm glad for it. I don't have to suffer anymore.
I'm a real honest person that can't lie about how I feel. I can't lie. So that was why it went on for so long. And with my best friend being such a vague person with a flirtatious personality, that also didn't help.

im agree with what rook said... i dont ususally have deep feelings romantically for someone unless there's the possibility of mutual feelings...

In a small way, I can agree, but the slightest hint and I can't hide my attraction for someone. I wonder if that has anything to do with how my past was... *tilts head* I donno.
