Have you ever longed for someone knowing that you can't get this person

I am going through a very dull phase in my life when the girl I long for has no interest in me. I have tried to pacify my heart ache by making myself understand that the girl is not interested in me, but her memories does not seem to fade away at all. To make matters worse I get to see her everyday in my office. I really don't know what to do and my life has become a living hell. There are so many emotions which go through inside me everyday, that it is very difficult to explain. I have prayed to God to make something happen really soon, otherwise my life will be a nothing short of a living nightmare. Have you ever experienced a similar feeling when you long for some person from the bottom of your heart and you surely know that it is not possible for that person to become a part of your life or your spouse. How did you react in such a situation.

This brings me back memories. I use to be into this guy but I was so shy and never spoke to him. To me, if I spoke to him, it was like the whole world to me. That's how hard I fell for this guy. Pretty much for a whole year, I was just infatuated with him but never approached because I know he would reject me. So save the shame, I just sat back and did nothing. Then he left after he finished school and I felt real bad for nothing speaking up. Years later, I still see him now and then but I'm over him now. Turned out, he wasn't someone I was expecting him to be. It takes time, remember there are so many opportunities opened for you. Don't just rely on one person.

Yes, surely triple. I have to stop thinking about her otherwise it will drive me crazy. Having said that, I am still thinking about her I will try and do or think about something which will make me forget about her, at least for the time being.

Thanks fiercepinay, I really hope that what you say becomes true. I have made up my mind to stop thinking about her and even have started to avoid her at work. Yes, I guess it will take a lot of time for even myself to get her completely out of my thoughts and life, what's worse is that this is the very first love of my life and the feelings are really unbearable.

When i was in college a friend of mine experienced what you experienced. The worse part of it is that the guy told her right after she confess that he does not feel awkward after that but eventually he avoided her and she went through so much pain and it took her a long time to heal and she did move on and have a better life as of know. I have never seen her so happy. We find happiness when we know that sometimes we just have to take time for ourselves to heal.

I used to, but I got him in the end. Though we have a different situation, yours is tougher. My current boyfriend used to have a girlfriend before we became a couple. We're good friends and I'm in good terms with her gf as well. Since we're friends we hung out often and then special feelings started to develop. He wanted to stop I didn't want to. I kept on loving him and fighting for us. A lot of times I felt like I'm going nowhere and I'm just making a big fool out of myself, but all the work paid off and we're now together. Anyway, if you want to escape your problem, have you considered changing your job?

Hey, nice to hear that you got what you got him in the end. I have even found myself running after this girl, only to feel like a big fool and stupid person, cause she never really had any interest in me. In my prayer to God, I had suggested that either her or me be transferred out of the office to some other location, where at least I will not see her everyday. Maybe that will help me think lesser and lesser of her. But, I don't know, in my prayer I have even asked God to keep her really happy and shower her will whatever she wants. This is the sort of unexplained emotions which I am going through and it is driving me crazy.

When I prayed to God, I asked God to give him to me. to give us a chance. That was the first time I asked God for anybody. I'm so glad that he did. Maybe you should try doing a hobby. Like what they say, the best way to forget an addiction is to get a new one

I've liked a lot of women that I know won't be mine in the first place. It's definitely harsh phase to go through. Accepting something like that has to include booze and dancing women in front of you. Seriously though, you have to get a grip because she's not the only girl in the world. You should just let it out of your system slowly and let things flow by like it never happened.

Hey, thanks! It really gives me some hope. I will try and socialize some more and try to find out some other girl who has some feelings for me. As for now, I am trying hard and avoiding her at work. I have even trained my mind not to look at her and just concentrate on the work at hand.

Hey, if it helps, sometimes at first it will really seem like you're not going to end up with her but it turns out that the both of you are really meant to be with each other, these are in some cases. I'm not saying it happens all the time.

I think many people have been through this. Sometimes your heart aches so much that you don't think you can live through another day. I have found, that if I am absolutely sure I have no chance, then it is beneficial to convince myself that I would not be happy with this person in the long run. For example, I once fell hard for someone who was a smoker, even though I hate smoking, and it really bothers my asthma! I had to be honest and realize that we would not be good for each other because he would always smell like smoke. I also had to pay attention and realize that he was the type of man who would want to be "in charge" and probably wouldn't listen to my ideas if I was in a relationship with him. The gradually helped me to get over him. Everyone has flaws, and if you focus on her flaws rather than all the things you find appealing, it may help.

Yes, the heart ache is unbearable. I had heard that love is sweet and lovely, but here I am, in my first experience with love all that I have got is sorrow and a mighty heart ache. Love really is very painful! I have tried focusing on her flaws, and like everybody she does have flaws, but the moment she gives her charming smile, it digs into my heart and all flaws just disappear away. I don't know what exactly I like in her, but this feeling of longing for her doesn't seems to cease at all.

Yes it has happened to me but I made the situation worse by begging that person so they eventually felt bad and dated me but I ended up getting hurt. There were other women he was involved with. I learned that if someone is not interested you dont force them because they will end up hurting you, the best thing to do is move on someone out there is interested in you.

Hi Judy, I agree that we can't force somebody to start liking you or be with you. This is the hard part about life, where one person likes another one, we find the other one is behind a third person. It is like one is chasing the other with no perfect matches. It seems crazy, but this is how life is, as I have experienced. This makes things really difficult as suppressing feelings is really, really difficult. I never thought that I would find myself in this depressing situation ever.

I would say that U just can't obtain everything you like, sometime just stand by and enjoy looking at her quietly. Another suggestion is that you can bring something else in your mind to distract your focus on her, like some kind of hobby

Hey, thanks for the suggestion. I think I need to start looking out for a hobby which will keep me focussed and divert my attention away from her. I hope that something happens really soon and ends my misery.

I used to go through the same thing as you are going through now. There is one guy I like, I even don't know why I like him, just wanting to see him everyday, talking to him. I thought I couldn't go on my life if my life without him at that time. Later, another guy broke in my life, he wasn't a charming guy but lovely, I spent a lot of time with him, and suddenly I amazed to find out I liked the first guy not so deeply as I thought. So I think you may make more friend as your can, spending more time with the others for thinking her less. Finally, you may find the same thing as me. Blessing!!

Hey, thanks for the blessings! Yes, you have summed it perfectly. Same feelings I am going through, don't know what I like about her. At first I thought that it were her eyes, but I started looking lesser and lesser at her eyes, to avoid eye contact. Now, I don't know what I like about her. It seems I love just the thought that she is present around me. I will try and socialize more and try to find some other girl, but I am sure that since this is my first love it would be next to impossible for me to forget about this girl.
