Why does the person you like doesn't like you back?

pity those who experienced this situation (including myself)--being ignored by the person you like the most. why do people make life so complicated? why do we ignore the people who care about us and love those who take us for granted? can we not just love a person who loves us and waste not our time in insisting ourselves to the person who doesn't care whether we exist or not? It must be a cliche--we cannot teach our heart to love--but we have our brain to help us choose whether to be hurt or to hurt.

Life is cruel that way. When I find myself in such a position I make sure not to think about that person. I distance myself away from them so that nothing may remind me of them. Its sad but necessary because If I didn't do that, If I don't numb myself to the pain and disappointment, then sooner or later it consumes me. Doing that is a lot better than living in pain.

This is human natur dear. We follow those run away and dont want see the things we have. I think you made a good point, we should love thoses who love us. If we can train our mind we can make our life heaven cos everybody knows love is a very special feeling. I have also moved in my life after getting ditched and i never hurt my heart my body or my mind for that idiot person who can't understand my true love and now i have married and living my life happily just because of my thought"not destroying myself because of someone else.

I'm sorry for you that it turned that direction. It's hard to be the one that is getting all sorts of feelings and the other one doesn't feel the same. The sad part is they don't have to get hurt. They just go on and we have to get through the pain first before we can move on. But I guess it's just God's way of saying "Don't lose hope, I'm saving the best for you". Good thing we our brains to tell us that it's time to move on.

see first of all not all people are same. here in your situation it seems like you some how like a person but it is not necessary for that person. you might like who he is but but he may not like who you are. just move on and find the one of your type and shower your love over that person.

Good question and the answer is not at all that simple. All I can say is that, this may be because of destiny itself. We just don't have the power to make people like us and that's a fact. The only wise thing to do when one is in a situation like this is to move on with life and look elsewhere.

i can't answer the question,maybe destiny takes a hand.but if every person i like then like me back,this kind of love is too easy?right?just because true love is hard to get,it’s become more valuable..

Just because we like someone, it doesn't mean that they have to like us back. Same thing as when someone likes us, it doesn't automatically mean that we have to like them back. It is a never ending cycle that is part of life. And life is never easy. We must be hurt to appreciate love, we must see the bad to appreciate the good.

yeah because love is always complicated and we also live in the real wourld which is also complicated. but just believe in your love and your god. if he is your true love so god will always give you a way to cath you love. or may be you just want his love but dont need his love. love is what you believe and respect and not just what you want but also what you need.
