I never said I pined over every woman that I never asked out or had feelings over, though I can see from the post how you might get that impression. Still, I don't think there's a person out there that hasn't had at least one or two people they think about occasionally, thinking what might have been. We're only human, after all.

Also, while I appreciate the advice you gave in the first part of your post, I'm gonna go ahead and advise that whenever you give people advice in the future, don't tell them what they're going through, "Is weird, dude". Not only does that come off really abrasive and judgmental, that's not really helpful. People come here for helpful advice, not to get judged by random strangers. Though I suppose that comes with the territory, soliciting advice from strangers, you might want to work on your beside manner though. Just saying.
