I suppose i do have some pangs of guilt leaving so many women yearning they could have had more of me, but they'll just have to learn to live with it.

:T:D This made me chuckle!!

Facebook contact -> affair -> marriage break ups...... it's all you have to do

Or you could just get over yourself.

Was the bloke's name Donny Osmond by any chance?
You were fantasising then and you're still fantasising. If that brings you comfort there's no harm in it, but wouldn't it be healthier to find a real person to bring you comfort?

But Donny is real !!! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
(and actually a really nice guy....surprisingly enough)

Crushes are just that -you know you're over them when you look at the guy and think "What was I thinking???"

I think I'm weird. I just can't bring myself to be interested in someone who I know doesn't fancy me.

I actually wouldn't want to be with someone who wasn't really into me, no matter how attractive. I feel like I deserve better than that. I like being with someone who thinks I'm awesome and that he's lucky to have me

As for how to get over it. Borrow "He's Just Not That Into You" from the library. It's the romantic equivalent of a good hard slap. Fundamental message: if he's not with you, he doesn't want you, and why waste your valuable time thinking about someone who doesn't want you?

I think the fact that you never had any sort of physical/romantic relationship says that you can't know he is perfect... it is kind of like being in love with a TV character... you need to tell yourself it is nuts and get over it!

Sorry to be ahrsh but it is true!!!

The thing about these unexplored relationships is that in your mind, you build up all the wonderful things you could have had with him.
But do you build in all the weird negative surprises he could have in store for you?

Correct me if I'm wrong here, but anyone who's ever had a relationship with anyone will have found that this lovely person will inevitably suddenly produce an unexpected quirk - e.g. consistent and unremitting bad timekeeping, leaving you waiting for hours without an explanation, an inability to pick clothes off the floor, using clean tea towels to wipe motor parts with, etc, etc. Please feel free to chip in

I fell in love with someone when I was 17 (first time I felt like that) and we was romantically linked but we was both too similar and I think we wouldn't of been good for each other in the long term, but by god did I love him and even to this day, 12 years on I still so, there will always be a place in my heart for him. I would of given him my last drop of blood if it came to it, but things happened and we didn't last, it really did mess me up quite a bit and I just couldn't go with anyone else for a while after him, just didn't feel right. Even till this day I wonder what it had been like if I had had his child or if I had known what I know now to make it work, but there is no point dwelling on it, we obviously wasn't meant to be.

If we do let it run, it might answer MrsWallace's question of how to overcome unrequited love.
