i have seen this happen from movies and tv series. Does it really happens in real lives? Do you know someone who have tried loving someone who doesnt love you back? or is it you have experienced it? How does it feel? What did you do to cope with it? You can pour or share your sentiments here.

such a thing often happens in real life. i fell in love with my classmate but he didn't show the same feeling to me. some other guys seemed to like me but i didn't love them. such things often happen when we are young.

Hi, cheenlly, a lot of people have this experience. you love someone who doesn't love you back. So do I. When I was in university, I really crush on our chairman of Student Union, a handsome guy, who has girlfriend already. We turn out good friends at last, we chat, went out together, had dinner, 1 year afer, he graduted and return to his hometown. I never told him I love him, but I did for the first sight I saw. I just want to be with him, hang out with him. I know he had a nice girlfriend, so I choose to love him silently.

It really hurts when you have given all your love to that person and he didn't give you all back.

Yes I tried when I was young. I don't remember how I showed that love. (there have been those I loved that never knew it too) All I know is that it hurts. I don't know if you ever truly get over it unless you stop loving that person. Sometimes though when you love someone you never stop loving them regardless of time or distance.

Yes I had tried or experienced loving someone who doesn't love me at all... Well life is full of imperfections... Including the feelings we felt. For me, what important is that I had loved and learned to expressed my love to someone else. Loving someone doesn't mean that he/she should love you back.. Love is the greatest feeling that you could experience with the person that you really love.. Love does not end there..

i had experienced it with my husband now. when we were still lovers, i loved him so much. i was even ready to let go of him because of that love. i gave myself to him, no matter how important it is to me. but then he found someone else and chose her over me. and i let go. we split and he came back. i welcomed him with arms wide open. second time, he told me he had someone else(again).this time i had this fighting spirit within me and held on. i did not let go of him. i was sick and tired of being beaten. and then i got pregnant, accidentally. the moment he knew i was pregnant, he told me that was the time he fell in love with me. it's really hard to accept but i guess there is nothing i can do but to accept it. he loves me now, and that's all that matters.

oh thats a very touching story kclaret59. After all the sacrifices atleast now your ended happy. I think thats what most important and that made us the impression that fate is really for both of you and that both of you are really meant for each other. Thanks for sharing your experience. Happy posting!

Yes, and it's pretty hard. Actually, I have no idea if I was in love. Or if I'm in love right now. How do you know, if the person doesn't love you back? What are the symptoms? I have no idea. It's hard, because he doesn't know what I feel about him. He's a friend so... I don't wanna risk it. Someone was in the same predicament as I am and she told the guy who was also her friend. And now they aren't talking anymore because it got all weird between them. I don't want that to happen to me. It's hard being okay and normal when he's around and be his friend and help him out with a girl. But that's what friends do. I mean, it's impossible, him and me happening. So there, I'm stuck like this. I'm just waiting for it to all go away. They say time can heal anything.

Though I haven't experienced this situation, I still believe that this kind of situation happens in real life. I believe those person who do this can be called UNSELFISH just in terms of loving. Cheers to all lovers who is like this ;)

This is really hard. It happened to me in a past relationship. We had broken up and I was trying to get back together with her. I was trying to reconcile and rebuild the relationship. Ultimately I found myself the only one exerting effort. So I didn't last this way. I moved on. It burns you out when you don't feel anything in return.

It has happend to me just once in my life, luckly. It has been a very important experience because I've learnt that I can lose and not always win. The problem is that I still love him altough many years have passed.

In real life,i don't think so.Love calls for each other,not only one.If the one don't love you at all,then she or he doesn't worth your love.It's a waste of time to express your love.

Such thing is very common among us. I had such experiences in my life time. I loved a person who never loved me back while I never loved three others who used to love me deeply but I did not have the same feeling for them. It's so sad but beyond our control.

Of course it really happens in real life. It seems to me a lot of my teenaged years were spent either listening to one of my friends talk about some boy she hadn't yet snared, or who didn't seem to care for her as much as she did him, and I have been in the same boat. I have also been pursued by someone I liked very much who thought I was the ,'"Love of his life." It wasn't meant to be, nor could it ever have been, but I don't doubt he twisted himself in knots over it.

Yep, but I now look for someone that likes me as much as I like them, then it is agreed. Want the person that wants you, cause everybody wants what they cannot have in this life. Better to destroy a desire sometimes. Find out who loves you, and pick the best one out of them all. Charles...

I have experienced it and i could say that it is a kind of feeling that it is not easy because of having a one-sided love. For me its really difficult especially when you knew that the person whom you love do love someone else. But to know that he is open with what you feel towards him and that allows you to love and feels you that at least he appreciated you and gives you importance for me i am satisfied with that. But of course i am still hoping someday i will find the person who will love me back as much i love him. Everybody hopes for that kind of love, an everlasting love.

haha.. i've experienced this.. and i think i can tell you a little about it... erm..first of all.. it requires alot of sacrifices to love someone who doesn't love you back.. and it's really torturing.. but you just have to accept it.. it's really difficult to accept the fact that you're going to be alone for the rest of your life... i don't know if it's happening in real life.. but for sure.. i'm trying hard to do it.. i think this is some sort of true love .. XD... well.. i might be a little too young to make such decision.. to love someone forever.. and still unsure if she will love me back.. i do know if you think it's worthy.. then it's forever worthy =)

it happened to me once. he was my friend before but my feelings developed for him. i was totally, madly, head over heels in love with him. i did everything that he asked me to do even though he did not appreciate those things that i did for him. worse, he treats me like dirt. he constantly find it something wrong about me or what i am doing. he will hit me if i did something that 'displeases' him. all the while that i am trying to make him love me he was in love with best friend. the hardest part is seeing them together so in love with each other. eventually, i learned to move on. that happened a year ago... but up to now, no one can still make my heart fall

of course such things happen in real life. just as everyone say, movies and some novels, no matter how fictional they are, are based on true events of life. I, for one, have experienced and still doing that until now. the one i call "the love of my life" couldn't seem to grasp that i really and truly love him. i tagged him as a rainbow, because he is so near yet so far. when i first started my internship i didn't liked him yet but as days go on, we started hanging out together, talked and laughed a lot that people started to notice our closeness (since he is known for being a loner and an introvert) but he let me in in his world. people then started teasing us and he became so conscious about it, while my feelings for him became clearer and stronger at the time. he started avoiding me. we don't talk much anymore and he can't just stay in one place especially if i was there. i told my closest friends about him and how i felt for him, i didn't know when i have fallen in love with him but i am sure i already did. i finished my internship without letting him know how i really feel, he didn't ask either he just avoided me. but when my second internship came, we became close again. he relaxed around me and whenever we got teased he just smiles and look at me. now, i wanted to let him know and im trying to but he just can't care more. maybe he likes someone else because he might text me a lot and whenever he has time and load but he doesn't bother to clear and ask about how i really feel for him so it left me hanging until now. i wanted to give up yet i am holding on and still hoping...
