What are some effective ways of coping with unrequited love?
Samian’s Eleventh Account asked:
Let’s say that I’m in love with someone, but she doesn’t love me back.
Suppose she’s engaged to another man, and she loves me only as a friend, not romantically.

What advice can you give for one to cope with unrequited feelings?
What do I do if my heart beats really fast whenever I talk to her, and I feel so happy inside?
kisses and hugs


I hope this doesn’t come across as harsh ’cause I don’t mean for it to. But this is what I do. Keep in mind that they don’t want you. This always helps me get over them.
Honestly I have no idea. I wish more than anything in the world that I could stop loving someone too. If you figure anything out PLEASE tell me! im not in the same boat that your in but my boat sucks as well… Adam Sandler was sooo right when he said love stinks
If I put myself in your shoes this is tough, but here’s my advice anyways
If you really love her, you will let her be with who She loves and you it wont kill you inside because you know she is happy
Or, you can just try to get close to her and try to make her fall for you
I mean I wont judge you if you do do that… because I can understand where you’re coming from
Hey, it worked in Wedding Crashers
Watch that movie if you havent seen it
(I dont think Owen Wilson is that great an actor though)
Love is giving, not receiving. Find ways to give love and you won’t need it. Love and forgive her and everyone else in your mind or in action.
1.) Read “He’s Just Not That Into You” (It can apply to girls too, just switch it around).
2.) Look at other girls.
3.) Don’t put the pus$y on the pedestal.
4.) Decide whether or not you can handle being friends with her. For a lot of guys it’s either a relationship or absolutely nothing. An don’t look at it emotionally, look at it logistically.
Feelings fade. You WILL get over it and get a crush on someone else. Trust me, buddy.
The method I tried was to go insane about it for a few decades, I recommend you find a different way. And a different girl.
Here’s what you do:
Start up a rock band… Write a song… a song which will divide the fans. In fact best that you write a trilogy of ballads… ballads about unrequited love, what it feels like and how to deal with it… make epic, time consuming, costly music videos for those songs… then break up the band and pay all royalties to them for their contributions and get into enormous debt… Come back a decade later with a new band, but keep the same band name… keep announcing the realease date of the album, but dont actually realease it for another 4 years…. release and album with songs like the following…
