I keep reading all these stories on here about people who want to get out of a relationship, or are trying to let someone down gently. What about the opposite?

Have you guys on FS! ever been in love/infatuated with someone you shouldn't have or someone who didn't return your feelings?

[(Anonymous)]

Yes.

[inkdust]

Oh lord. I spent most of my senior year of college mad for a freshman girl. Yes, a situation best avoided.

[(Anonymous)]

Basically every infatuation I have had.

[inkdust]

That too.

[intrigueing]

I was *completely* head-over-heels for a guy who had a steady girlfriend and barely even knew I existed for a good solid few months once. I kinda wound up making a complete fool of myself trying to reel him in with a appallingly poorly-thought-out ~epic plan~.

Then again, I was also sixteen. And he was the twin brother of one of my friends. And I was on some weird tangent where I was absolutely convinced I needed to lose my virginity while I was still a minor in order to be mature. So it was kind of a disaster waiting to happen.

[kamino_neko]

Who hasn't?

I'm sure most people have been on the opposite side of that equation a few times, too.

[(Anonymous)]

A-yup. I've had a crush on my mostly-straight best friend for years. And I've never said anything, due to a combination of timing issues (I'm single, she's not, or vice versa) and the fact that I'm pretty sure we'd actually be terrible as a couple. So I don't want to fuck up our friendship. And I'm really ok with that. But she's also exactly my type physically, and she's an awesome person, hence the best friends, so my subconscious refuses to stop being attracted to her.

[childings.livejournal.com]

Several years ago before I moved here I was completely head over heels infatuated with this guy who I kept seeing at parties at my sister's house (it was one of those sort of places where bands always played and huge parties were always thrown, etc.) Every time I saw him, I was like, completely possessed by him and couldn't stop lingering around him and following him around and I knew I was creeping him out but I literally couldn't stop. I think he sort of liked me -- as a friend at the very least -- but had some amount of social anxiety in the first place, and the fact that I was always following him around really freaked him out, so I was never able to really pursue anything there.

Anyway, it felt awful because I had recently gotten married at that point anyhow but all I could think about was being with this guy. His personality was just magnetic for some reason, he was negative and self-deprecating in the most attractive way and just FUNNY and just writing this makes me feel really bad :/

[(Anonymous)]

Oh yeah. A straight friend of mine who made it very clear that, while she didn't think homosexuality was ~wrong~, the thought of two girls going at it disgusted her.

So yeah. Not someone I should have been crushing on in the slightest.

[elaminator]

In high school, for a long, long time.

[morieris]

Every time.

I just don't act on it anymore, nothing good comes of it.

[(Anonymous)]

I spent the better part of a decade pining for a guy, watching him get girlfriends, watching girlfriends break his heart. He called me once to tell me he started dating someone and it felt like a punch in the gut but I laughed with him on the phone then cried for an hour. I grew suicidally depressed (he was a factor but not the only one) and I could see in his face that he had feelings for me but I wasn't brave enough to act on them.

I finally realized after years and years of time that the feelings I had for him weren't romantic, but like a sibling. That day was the most freeing, empowering day of my life. I realized I could love him and not be with him.

We are both married now (to other people) and he's got like two kids and I'm kind of relieved I never tried to make it work with him because I really don't want kids ever ever. :| We get to see each other maybe once a year now but when we do, we hug like long lost siblings and the four of us (us and our spouses) have a great time together.

[(Anonymous)]

I forgot to mention (so the above doesn't sound like a major creepfest) that before our lives took us to different places, we'd spend hours and hours together every day, geeking about random things and having a great time together. Hope that helps me not sound like a weirdo stalker. ._.

[(Anonymous)]

Yes. He was married to someone he'd beren with for over a decade. I eventually realized I needed to stop looking at it like I had somehow missed out on Mr. Right or had been rejected and start looking at it for what it was: I had a cool friend - and that's no loss - and there were plenty of single guys out there I could have the same budy-budy friendship with who were also available and interested in a romance. Haven't found the right one yet, but no hard feelings....

[(Anonymous)]

Story of my life.

Currently someone in my university group, not quite the standard TA situation but close enough for it to be weirdish. Of course, she's a few years older than me and while that doesn't really have to mean that much, I'm socially awkward and kind of feel like I'm the stupid infatuated 15 year-old again. I don't even know if she's into women and single...

I really ought to move on, but yeah...

[fingalsanteater]

Yes.

[landsealiontamer]

Haven't we all? I get the impression that this one is universal, and that it's comparatively rather rare for two people to simultaneously feel an attraction towards each other. We probably all end up on the other side of the boat as well, we're just not as aware of it because those with unrequited infatuations are more likely to keep it to themselves.

[siliconsara]

Two times.

One was in high school with a guy I was friends with and we kind of dated for a while until I told him my real feelings for him while we were picking strawberries for summer money together. He said he'd think about it but he never really replied. He ended up coming out of the closet a few years later, and even a few more years down the road he died in a car accident. I wish I knew where his grave was. :(

Another was a few years back with this guy I met in a continuing day treatment program for people with mental illness. He was hot as hell and he was kind of interested, but he was the bar-hopper type and that pretty much fizzled quickly, even after we spoke about dating each other.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah and she knew. I got over her tho. Some distance helped with it, to let the rush fade

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, both when I shouldn't have it was never going to happen. I was young and incredibly, unbelievably awkward and in the end it turned out they were secretly dating our assistant manager. Many years later we live in the same area and I'm uncontrollably mortified whenever I see them. I once hid behind a display in the supermarket.
It's kind of nice to know these things are universal!

[(Anonymous)]

Yep. Several crushes over the years. They eventually faded though, so they were just teenage infatuation, and not love.

[charming_stranger]

Gods, yes. Best story must be that time I developed a huge crush on somebody who was crushing on my boyfriend until zie got over him and got married to someone else. Cue sadfeels on my part, since I'd secretly been hoping (despite knowing it was never going to happen) for a relationship between all three of us. I feel immensely embarrassed over my own stupidity whenever I think back to that time.

[frankfurter]

that basically is my life, at the moment :(
at first I thought it just ~can't be~; then it turns out they have a SO, too..

[(Anonymous)]

I'm a bi woman, and I always get crushes on these amazing, beautiful women... who are straight. Each and every one of them. F my life.
