Worst Case of Unrequited Love

[carini]

I'm thinking of writing a book about some of my unrequited love stories... anyone have a good one you'd like to share.. i won;t use it.. but it would be handy for comparison... here's one of mine

Last year i fell hard for a guy named Scott. He was a friend of a friend and when i met him i fell for him almost instantly. He was funny sweet and just my type of guy. He and i seemed to hit it off fairly well. I spent many a night in his tiny little dorm roombed with him just talking til the wee small hours. I thought there may be a chance for something but i also knew there was a major block for him when t came to dating and love. The summer before i met him his girlfriend had died giving birth to his baby. Her parents blamed her death on him becuase he got her pregnant and as punishment for it had completely cut him out of his baby's life. We would talk about this for hours he'd cry, i'd cry for him, i'd fall asleep with him in my arms. So knowing he needed room to heal i stepped back. We stayed friends and i was his ear and shoulder when he needed it.
About a month after we stopped sharing his bed he and i were chatting over AOL and he told me he had fallen in love again. My heart skipped a beat. Maybe my supportiveness had actually helped him. It had. It helped him fall in love with a girl from his chemistry lab. I was crushed. He went into detal about how it had all just happened one night.
I played the supportive friend and told him i was happy for him even though i was in so much pain. So that's my story.

anyone else have one?

I'm betting we all do, but they are probably painful to remember and admit to the world.

OKay I'll bite

I met her, by pure coincident back in 93 I guess. And we became friends almost instantly. She and I did everything together, over a period og four years.

We did everything except be romantically involved.
She and I was best friends. In everything. Only problem was, That I from day one, had fallen for her, like a ton of bricks.

I had to see her go through bf, one night stands and all that, as her friend. And there wasn't a god damn thing I could do about.

I just locked up what I felt for her and marvelled at our friendsship.

Eventually, after 4 years. I had to tell her. I couldn't hold it in no more.
Now apparently I hide something like that very good. Because she had no idea. And started to feel sorry for some of the things she had done in front of me. Which she had no reason for what so ever.

Anyway, we're still best of friends. Though not on the same level as we were those four years.

And as wonderful those years were. They were also some of the most painful ones.

When I was in college I fell hard for a theater/English major named Patrick. He had sharp, almost feline features, short red hair, and lovely green eyes. My chest ached every time I saw him. He was funny, intelligent and very gifted. We had some classes together (I was an English major too, a year behind him), and we were both deejays at the college radio station, so we saw quite a bit of each other. We had some great conversations, but I couldn't quite summon the nerve to tell him how I felt. I told myself a lot of reasons why a relationship with him was out of the question, and these reasons seemed valid at the time. After he graduated he seemed to drop off the face of the earth. Our mutual friends never saw him or heard from him. He's not even in the alumni yearbook. I think about him every now and then, and wonder what might have been if I hadn't been so fearful. I'd love to know what became of him.

Of all the regrets I have, not telling Patrick how I felt about him probably ranks somewhere in the top five.
