One-sided love

Ya you are right its really very hard to love someone who doesnt love you and it becomes much harder when he/she is your close friend.Sometimes your friendship is at stake.I have experienced this.When you are good friends you need not to think before you talk anything nor you need to hide anything.But if you love the same person,restrictions arise,you cant talk frankly,you have to hide a lot,esp when he says that he will lost you if again such feelings arise in you.I love someone a lot.But he doesnot.I had once lost him almost.But in order to have him at least as my friend,i am living mu relationship on the basis of a lie that i dont love him anymore.He doesnot know that true love never ends.Thats why i have to hurt myself everyday coz he takes me as a simple friend and i expect too much from him.I dont know what will happen in future but i will try my best to maintain my friendship even if it is at the cost of my tears...

Very painful ! Most of responders are young. What do you say about me wich I`m 48 yo and I love a young girl of 22 and she understand me but... don`t love me ? Love is something beautifull, hard, painful, with hearts, crying, hapiness but lot of pain, lot of pain, believe me. And when you have family is more painful. Why has to be like that ?

=yes i have expirienced it when i was in senior highschool, i loved a guy that doesn't love me as i loved him, he did loved me but it tooked a long time. And it was really hard for me but i accepted it because i really loved him.

I know what you mean and no fortunatly I haven't experienced this but I have seen friends who have and it is not pretty. I hope all works out for you.

I have experienced that when i was junior high school.i was hardly so fall in love with him.I knew he didn't have that feeling to me.He's so kind and nice to me.Yeah,it isn't easy to feel that someone i love doesn't love me back.But,i've just thought i was so lucky to met him til i could fall in love with him.I could learn how strong love is,how much sacrifice we could do for the one i love although he doesn't love me back.

I have. It was torture and pathetic and lonely and sad and hurtful. I liked this guy back in high school. He's seriously far from my "ideal guy". But he's really funny. So before I knew it, I was falling for him. We were friends first though. I thought that it was just a stupid crush so I just let it be. But then a year passed... I started feeling weird when he comes into the room. I get exceedingly happy when he send an obviously mass-sent text message. I cried when there was a girl who's two grades below us who flirted with him. I mean, he doesn't even like the girl but I got all emotional. It's really weird because that was the first time I felt that I was really in love. The thing is, he didn't know. He didn't know how I felt because I tried my best to act normal around him. I think I did a good job hiding it too. It was hard. really hard. because I had to see him fall in love with someone else, and support him at it.

I would like to say it's a painful story to love someone and not be loved by him in turn. But I would also think that this experience of one-side love is a god-given thing because a one-side love is an even stronger and deeper emotion that not everyone can have the chance to experience.
