How hurt can you get if your love is unreciprocated? Lately it's a bit depressing that the guy I like doesn't like me back so far, but i'm trying my best at least. Hope I can vent it out a little bit by talking with you guys.

Share your experiences.

Yeah it hurts, but I eventually got over it. It happened a few years ago, I actually cried over it. She was a girl that I thought had to be perfect, but it didn't work out. Very sad event, because I really liked her and I thought she liked me but only wanted me as a friend.

Yeah it hurts. I'm still in the process of hurting but I won't give up. This girl I like for about a year now knows that I like her but she doesn't like me in the same way that I like her. It has gotten quite awkward lately but I will act as if nothing has happen and keep on trying to get her to like me back. Eventually I will have to move on but I don't really want to sometimes. The only obstacle is that she is two years older than me and that being younger than her put me in the worst of situation.

But I won't falter, I will keep striving to live my life while trying to be part of hers and hopefully one day I can get through to her heart. If I were you, you can either keep on or give up and move on. Like they say their are a lot of fishes in the sea and perhaps this guy might not be the one for you plus don't let your world revolve around just this guy. You have your life to take care of so do that first. I might like this girl but my priorities comes first so whatever it might be don't let your heart get carried away. I will be there for her no matter what happen though.

So my advice is try to get involve in his hobbies and activities and expose yourself to him more so that the more he see you, the more he will think about you. It's all about spending time with each other no matter what, cause if you like someone and don't spend time with each other you won't be able to find out about their personality. Cause deep down personality counts and looks can only go so far.

It hurts like mad. It's like telling someone your true true feelings for them, and them just forgetting about it, and not giving you anything back. Like I told this guy that I liked him, and he just laughed. NOT COOL. Even if he didn't like me back... he could have acknowledged it, and not just laughed you know? That hurts like a million times worse. Then afterwards, he pretended like nothing happened. Errggh, it took me quite a long time to get over it, but then I realized he was a jerk because he was so unconsiderate.

It's like, you think you know someone, they lead you on, and then you are immediately intimidated by him and then, you express it... and it's like a joke to them. Honestly, I'm not saying the other person should act like they like you back, but say something that lets the others heart down gently instead of throwing their hearts on the ground.

Right now, I like this guy, BUT HE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW ME, so I'll give you the same advice that my friends gave me, make sure you know him well enough first so your hopes aren't dropped, there are tons of guys out there, and he's just one. Also, make sure if he doesn't like you back, that you guys can still be friends, or else it'd be a bit more saddening.

it hurts but i think people can move on. there are tons more people out there and not just that one person. you could keep trying but if they say no, then shrug it off and maybe try again or try finding someone else.

yeh, i'm scared of getting hurt, and i'm really shy so i dont know whens the rite time to tell

Unreciprocated love hurts worst when you know the person closely. It's easy to forget about shallow crushes on cute guys because those don't matter. However, there was once that I really did feel crushed. It was during the summer a few years ago. I liked this guy. He wasn't exactly cute. He had a twisted sense of humor and his mind was quite perverted. He was kind of anti-social. I think it was because of his strange personality that I was attracted to him. We hung out quite a bit. When I told him that I liked him, he chuckled and asked me why. He told me he didn't feel the same way. I continued to see him after that with some pathetic hope that he might grow to like me. I wasn't blind for long though. When I finally admitted to myself that he would never see me anything more than a friend, it was crushing. I scolded myself, acknowledged the pain, talked to my best friend for comfort, and did something. Then I let time do its job. I got over him no problem. It's a hard and slow process, but these things can't be rushed. The human heart is delicate and pitiful at times, but it is strong and does bounce back. It's resilient.

Any type or amount of unreciprocated love hurts. You can try to tell yourself it doesn't matter, but who are you kidding? Don't try to avoid it. Don't try to push it away. If you push it away, it'll just be skimming the surface of your subconscious always. You'll feel uneasy, but not exactly able to pinpoint the source of worry. First, let yourself wallow in your pain--but not for too long though. Then pull yourself out of it and acknowledge the pain and its origin. Tell yourself all the bad qualities of his. Why you were so blind to fall for him. Why he did not deserve your love anyways. They're just words for comfort, but they soothe the pain a little. When you're a little better, DO something. Physical activities get your mind off things. I recommend self-improving activities like running, walking, etc. that relieves stress and troubles. The beach, the park, or flower fields are best.

it hurts a bit...
but i get over it in like a day x]
and its only happened to me once..well he only found out once...

well love is crazy thing and getting hurt hurts the most but i have learned to keep on moving cause not everybody is going to like you and it sucks in a relationship when you give 110 precent and the other person is only giving 12 so its best to just get over it!

It's definatley not easy, I don't know if I'm just clinging to a memory or I genuinley like this guy...seeing as his only an aquaintance and I have known hime for years but am to shy to talk to really talk to him...All I know is, it sucks and i just want to move on!
