Well this was a few years back.
I used to go to school with this guy and l was wondering why he wanted to pick me up in his car all the time.
He wanted to take me places also to the theatre ect.
He told me a few years later that he had a crush on me and l said why did you never tell me about how you felt he said he thought l would reject him
Well he was right he was with his girl freind who was 17 years at the time and he had got her pregnant and the thought of me coming into this would have been wrong.

But it was a nice thought that someone did have a crush
Oh nearly forgot to add this on Valentines day l was sent a card never knew who that was but it was nice receiving this gift.
 
Yes, and I even had an absurdly overblown novel-like unrequited love letter to prove it, that I must admit, I did not read all of. It really was that long.

I think i've probably thrown it out by now, but it was pretty full on stuff. I can't imagine what must be going through the head of someone who would write such a thing. Get a grip woman!

How many times to I have to apologise, FFS?
 
^ Well I aim to please. :vulcan: Are you going to post anything constructive or are you here to just slam me?
 
I once went to bed with someone who told me, that if I didn't do exactly what she said, she would say that I had raped her and that she had got away with it before. She tormented the life out of me for about five hours.

It was a bit like being in bed with a tarantula.
 
You're right.

But, she was very convincing up until the point when we hit the bed. She wore glasses. I didn't know at the time, but you can tell if someone has been raped, medically. There's no way she could have pulled that off, if I had just kissed her. though she was a very powerful person. She was terrifying. I've seen her since, and I didn't even want to look at her, in case she said I had raped her.

If you're a soft touch, some women will dump all over you, and some will show you the ways of the world.

As you said, a thorough checking out, beforehand, is the answer. I should have just got up and told her to go, too when she pulled that trick. At least she didn't stalk me!
 
Heh.

Although, having had the same threat issued to me under different circumstances, I can tell you it is not pleasant.
 
I have been on both sides of the unrequited love equation. So while I voted yes, I would not classify myself as 'a destroyer of worlds' or whatever that option stated. Having been on the other side, I always tried to be as kind as possible. Unless they refused to take 'no' for an answer. In which case, I occasionally had to be more assertive about it.

It's been a long while since any of that though.
 
What did she want you to do?

If you're talking to me, it was one of the weirdest nights of my life, though I did get something memorable and good out of it, though I don't think that was her intention.

Firstly, she hadn't been washed. She smelt. All of her, even her breath. And, I think she did this on purpose. Secondly, everytime I started to initiate anything, which she seemed to think I had to do, as she was supposedly a virgin, which judging by the state of her, she wasn't, she stopped it, said I was raping her and that she would get the police. I said, well why don't you initiate, you control it, if you're that delicate? She didn't want that either. It went on for about five hours and every time I suggested anything, even just foreplay, it was all supposedly my idea and I forced her to do it, she really didn't want to, she wasn't like that and I was dirty minded, and over sexed. Though what I suggested, you would read about in any magazine. And, she knew the current lingo for each thing, too, and knew how to do it, though she was supposedly as innocent as a new born babe. And, we had to be doing something, we couldn't just talk, as that would be a waste, but it was all my idea. It was weird!

Most men would have told her to get lost. I think she knew she was on to a soft touch. She wasn't a virgin at all, judging by the state of her, and from what I have been told by other men. Thing is, she gave me the hint, and it was a good one, that if I had even had told her to get lost, she would have said I had raped her and called the police and she said she had done it before. She was as devious as an adder. i saw her later, with one of her ex-boyfriends, and he looked like an oozier version of Edmund Blackadder.

There are women like that in the world. Though, to be fair, bad experiences with men sometimes make them that way, though this one was like that at infant school, from what she told me. She was a baby tarantula then, maybe I could have helped her become Brigitte Bardot, but it would have took about two years and I would have been dumped on, more than I could take in the journey.

I enjoyed one bit of it, and wouldn't mind doing it again, with a women that has had a wash!!

She didn't stalk me, and that's something.

Oh boy,
It’s a sorry state of affairs that I’ve probably had more unrequited loves than actual dates. I’d just like to say these are only the ones I know about as they have to be pretty upfront before I figure out if someone likes me or not. The first was a girl at sixth form who seemed to manage to tell everyone else that she fancied me before she told me. For about half a day I had people coming up and telling me not to go out with her before I knew what they were talking about. In hindsight I think the girls who told me this, the crushees ‘friends’ likewise fancied me but I don’t know for sure.
She is now currently a lesbian who can’t stand men in that way, though she has a kid from a previous relationship, between me and now, with that guy probably taking most of the blame for that.
The second was a girl I worked with who is nice and all, but I really can’t see it working out. We have nothing in common except where we work and she is now in a relationship, that everyone can see is rocky, trying to have a baby so she can claim benefits so she doesn’t have to work.
A third was a guy at work who was several years older than me, who wasn’t quite right in the head and supposedly in a relationship of several years. Needless to say that I set him straight as quickly and simply as possible.
A forth was a friend I met through a friend of mine who was quite plainly only after sex, looking back now I wish I’d taken it, but I know it would have never led to anything else.
Then of course there was the girlfriend I dumped for being the wettest, spineless, pathetic creature I have ever seen. Or at least that’s how it seemed.
Ironically, when I finally got up the nerve to ask out one of my biggest crushes she shot me down quickly and simply with the friends speech, so hey, swings and roundabouts.
 
OTOH, I was talking with a workmate about school one time, and I realised suddenly, from rereading things said and looking between the lines, that a girl had a crush on me, and I was completely clueless. What rubbed salt in the wound was it took me 18 years to figure this out. Ladies, do not underestimate how clueless guys can be.

This.

One time I was letting my kids read the things written to me in my old high school year book. While reading, my younger daughter tells this girl really had it for me.

I took the book and read what had been written. I never even noticed at the time, but it was all there, between the lines in the yearbook.

I always liked her, but never acted on it because I never got the idea she was interested. I felt so stupid.
 
Most of the stuff here sounds a lot more like "unrequited lust" than "unrequited love".

Just sayin'.

And...no to either :(
