Welcome to Gaia! ::

Unrequitted love? Its the story of my life.

yes... i loved my past girlfriend more than anything... we had been going out for 1 and 1/2 years... longest relationship of my life to this point... i loved her more than annything... she was (or so i thought) the love of my life... in the end (about 2 weeks ago) she ended up breaking up w/ me and going out w/ someone else 3 days later... it was horrible... the only person i had ever loved is now gone

i envy the two of you. as for my story...

characters: me, yuki, shini and kimi (plus a bunch of other fangirls)

i thought i was straight until i fell in love with yuki (let's just say she's genderless; you really wouldn't know what she is even though she's biologically female). problem is, i can't tell her. why? we're seniors (all-girls school); she has stalkers from the younger batches and one or two from our batch. i'm not the only one who's in love with her. the other one is shini, my surrogate younger sibling. shini's been in love with yuki since they were in first year. (un)fortunately, yuki's so dense that it took more than a couple of people to make her notice shini's feelings (and she still can't accept it). i can't afford to break shini's heart. and kimi is also falling hard for yuki, but she's the least of my worries; there will be people who will catch her when rejection time comes. there will be people for shini too, but i don't know if shini would allow them to help her. as for me, i'm hoping that i could actually survive this when i confess to yuki on graduation day (i made a promise and i hope i won't back down on it).

that's my story. i live a sad life.

Not so much unrequited love as the end of a relationship. I've been the one to break off my other two relationships ('cos they were getting pretty messed up), but my boyfriend just recently broke it off from me, but not 'cos we're mad at eachother, just 'cos he has more foresight than me, I guess. He went to Spain this summer, and I stayed behind and worked all the time, and we only got to talk through email 'cos the phone was too expensive. And other things. He's much more mature than I am, he already knows where he's headed in life, he's very much a buddhist, and he's a great friend. And eventually we would have to part anyways, because of going to grad schools or jobs elsewhere, and he thinks it'd be better to do it now than then, when we have other things on our minds, that are potentially really important. He doesn't want to see me being unhappy for the rest of my life because I don't have the skills to make it on my own and go off and be happy with who I am. So we're not dating any longer, but it's being hard for me. At first it was just 'cos I still loved him (hence the almost-unrequited part), but now it's just 'cos I'm lonely, and I'm not sure how to be outgoing and just hang with new people. I don't wanna just sit in my room all the time, 'cos that's kinda sad... but it's just hard adjusting.

Yea..I met her from a friend..then while we were going out she told me she loves me..a week later she broke-up with me. It hurts..I loved her..I thought it might work out but I guess love hurts.

I met my best friend about four years ago in our English class. She had just moved back to the states from Korea, and she sat in front of me. I can still remember just how we met: she was drawing "anime" style, and I looked over and told her that I envied her talent. This was all back when I thought I was straight.
Later that school year, she came out to me as bi. I had no idea that such a thing was possible; I was taught that there was gay and there was straight, and that anything in between was "confused." So, my best friend introduced me to the idea that, hey, a person can be attracted to both sexes. That summer, I started questioning, because I had a huge crush on her.
For the next year, I liked her on and off, and mostly fell in love with her. I would spend so much time talking to my older sister about it (after coming out to the fam.), and crying and wondering "how can you love someone so much that it hurts?" And I would force myself to get over her, because we would talk about her crushes, and whatnot. But then I would fall head over heels again. That went on for another year, and then I got over her enough to really like someone else. I dated that someone else, then wasn't dating, and then was again (still and yet) fallen for my friend. I haven't been able to get over her since, no matter how hard I try. I even tried dating someone else I thought I was into, but that didn't work out at all.
And, not too long ago, I find out that she used to like me. How unfair is that?
But, yes. I've been in love with her for four years, and it just keeps getting deeper and deeper and more complicated.

Not for the longest time. I didn't want to ruin our friendship, and I "knew" she wasn't interested, aka, I knew she was into someone else.
She does know that I like(d) her, now, though, and there was talk about dating, but it was complicated and she liked someone else; I made sure that she didn't date me out of pity, though - that would have hurt. A lot.

Not sure if she knows I still like her. Probably, we just don't talk about it.
