Wanting someone you can't have sucks. Doesn't it?

It does suck but when in that situation I just try remember that it's just emotions and that there are 7 billion people in the world, the chances are you will find someone you like more if you give them a chance

Yes, It sucks ass. I've been through the same situation although I do admit, I did eventually come down to a 'happy ending'. I never thought he liked me at all because i never thought someone like him would go for someone like me:/ I told him how I felt about him and it turned out that he did like me back, and he did eventually 'ask me out'. We've been together 6 months now, I've never been happier! so I guess the point I'm trying to make is tell him how you feel, and if it doesn't turn out the way you planned then try to accept it, at least you was honest!

I was in this situation. Was head over heels in love with this boy for a year, completely infatuated with him. I was stuck in the "weird girl he speaks to but would never fancy" zone. It was ridiculously painful ... my heart still aches when I think about him.
He was the perfect guy and I don't think I'll ever feel that way about anyone else.

Been in this position! It honestly makes you feel like ****, and it's so annoying cause I know that on paper the chances of her doing better then me are really ****ing low, not that I'm being spiteful or chauvinistic but I just know who I am in general, and it's in no reflection of who she is.. We had so much in common and we talked all the time but she rejected me when I told her how I felt because she was with someone else (a guy 10 ****ing years older then her...)
Just remember OP you can't wait around for this person to realise how amazing you are, just be yourself and move on.

7 billion people... half of which are the opposite sex.... the large majority of which you will never meet... many of those you do meet will be married, gay, taken, not your type, you're not their type, incompatibile, children, elderly...

Chances are not that high actually. Reminds me of this article.

That's exactly the same situation as me!!!

Yeah, maybe I need to move on...

That article seems silly to me, if that is the case no one would be married. You can potentially meet thousands of people in a year.

Worst thing is, we're off to the same university in September ... so I might still see him around, probably with other girls. It'll break my heart. So I probably won't be able to forget about him and move on. Sigh.

Awwwh! that's sweet I'm gonna have to think about telling him one day..because I can't keep it all bottled up forever

I know the feeling very well! I'm in love with a married man who's 18 years older than me, and I can't seem to move on from him

Half of marriages end in divorce, plus many marriages are unhappy or arranged or done for the wrong reasons, etc. The point is that meeting "the one" is a low chance, not just meeting someone who you think is right for you but ultimately is not. I think part of the problem is everyone just has it assumed that they will find someone - "oh there are 7 billion people, it's all good" - but if you actually look at it realistically, the number is much, much smaller.

You can potentially meet millions. It doesn't mean you will. Dating sites were created for a reason...

Well, i'm in a ranting mood..so everyone else go ahead and join in!

I'm so annoyed right now.. it sucks and hurts so much knowing that you're fighting for someone but still, you can't have them. I always feel like i'm not good enough for him in many ways.. it gets me down so much. I feel like there's maybe a little glimmer of hope..that maybe he will like me one day. But it's probably slim to none.. because I think he views me as one of the guys. Friendzones sucks if I knew how to get out of the stupid thing, I would do! It's so hard. I wish I had like some magic dust to make him magically fall in love with me >.< it'd make my life a whole lot easier..

So, there's my rant. You can put yours about wanting someone you can't have.. just let it all out
