Don't believe in it, what the person claims to love doesn't even exist as the feeling is not reciprocated. At best, it's waste of one's own time and energy, at worst it can be a source of significant psychological distress for both the "lover" and the unfortunate unwilling object of their attention |

"Ahh unrequited love. The battle cry of the creep and the stalker.
Cold !! As I’m neither and it’s my best friend
That’s really tough. How do you know it’s unrequited though?"
After years of close friendship I finally got the courage to told her how I felt about her and got rejected. |

I’m sorry to hear that not much you can do except respect her feelings and manage your own. Hopefully it hasn’t impacted your friendship too much x |

Thanks, nice to see people with compassion on here, it’s rare. Friendship is still ok as far as I know. It’s that awful feeling, can’t eat, stomach in knots etc that I’m trying to cope with at the moment. It sucks |

It's better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all..... Being in love is a wonderful feeling, its what we all seek. I know it feels better when that love is returned, but all you can do is sit with the feeling, the ache, and flow through it. But don't stop loving her. The theme of unrequited love is one the most prolific in music and literature in all languages. So, you're not alone. Good luck on the roller-coaster of love lost. |

Aw that's tough, especially when she's your best friend. But you did the right thing in telling her, assuming that you're both unattached. It would have driven you mad otherwise.
At least now you know the score and can start healing. Just tell her that despite what happened, you'll always be there for her and continue the friendship if possible. |

Its tough one cause your best friends.... and on the one hand its good you still have the friendship but on the other its hard cause rejection isn't nice even from a best friend.....
Not to give you false hope but maybe she values your friendship more than being in a relationship and if that was to finish you would lose everything. |

Never been through it. Did care for an ex more than he did for me at one point.It's not easy.
I hope you both remain good friends and that you find a way forward that helps you . |

"Dear SexyProfile101, I wrote but you still ain't callin'.
I left my cell, my pager, and my home phone at the bottom."
It's been 6 months and still no word, I don't deserve it?
OP, I think you were quite brave to say it to them. Fair play for taking the chance |
