People who are not in love, gather! (9)

Sometimes I think it would be nice to be in love, even if it was one-sided. I dunno, somehow I feel a little dull not having someone I like at all. But most people probably think one should be lucky not to be painfully in love. And thinking rationally about it, it also seems better to me.

Yet, are there people who miss the feeling of at least admiring or dreaming about someone?

An complicated situation, to be sure. Good and bad feelings abound.
I couldn't say for sure I've ever been in love, but there's a state where I understand love songs, and a state where I couldn't care less.
I guess unrequited love is better than never feeling anything at all.

One sided love is a drag. It takes it's toll on me after a while, all give and no take :(
I do have people that I find attractive and admire, but they'll never know.

Chalk another one up for being alone and missing being in love. It's been 4 months since my second girlfriend left. It's getting bad I've started making up imaginary people every now and then to dream about. I don't know about it anymore it seems like I could love anyone but at the same time I dont think I have the capacity to care that much anymore.

I for one, am not missing the feeling of one-sided love.
It makes me so counterproductive.

Spending so much time re-reading his comments. Re-phrasing the comments you type to him. Waiting for him to come online. And then waiting for him to initiate a conversation so that you don't let on. Listening to him talk about another girl. Feeling disconcerted/annoyed/disappointed when he doesn't reply. Reading too deep into his statuses. Always looking out for him before you sit down in class. The list goes on..

It's that sense of longing that I hate. If I wanted any other thing, I could strive to get it, or use money to buy it. But here, you have to hold yourself back, no matter how much you want it.
