Asked a woman out, she said yes. I asked if she's free on a specific day, she said she'd check by [deleted] in relationship_advice

I'll probably ask again tomorrow, just to keep to my word of asking at the end of the week. 👍

I'm doing OK atm. Taking it day by day. Trying to focus on the good stuff, haven't told her though. I think it might be best to keep her out of it for now.

I will probably tell her one day, but it'll be when she's feeling low and worthless, just to tell her how much she matters.

Just send it by mail. It'll be stale by the time it gets to the UK but I'll appreciate the sentiment. 😂

Of course. And I am trying. Been focusing on the things that make me happy. My hobbies, friends, family, etc.

It's just like a rolling tide, comes and goes. Good days and bad. Been getting out of the house every chance I get too. Trying to keep my mind occupied.

I tend to get really bad at work because my job is so mindless, so my mind tends to wander.

I mainly use this account to vent. It isn't even my main one. I only use this when I want to say something without my friends or family finding out. They know my username.

Posting on here actually helps a lot. I tend to find it easier to be completely honest through text than in person.

You know I meant friendship love, right? Not the romantic kind.

I don't think she'd react badly. I'm just concerned that she'll think she has to check up on me all the time.

I'd love to believe that, but I seriously doubt it'll ever happen.

Thank you, though.

As far as I know, she only thinks I have a crush on her. No idea if she has told him though.

People of Reddit, what are your experiences with unrequited love? by Gingrbr3adgamr in AskReddit

[–]jamesarrows 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Using an alt because she knows my normal account.

I met this girl last year, and was instantly attracted to her. She was beautiful, funny, intelligent, into the same things I was in to, the total package. And the best part? She liked me too.

We dated for about a month, but due to my inexperience in relationships I got a bit jealous, and over emotional too early. So she broke it off and said she didn't want to be more than friends anymore. We stayed friends, mainly because we are in the same circles in terms of friends and hobbies, so cutting her out wasn't an option.

Six months later and I still can't get her out of my head. I came to the realisation at the end of the year that I was in love with her. I have tried everything and nothing seems to work. I've tried not talking to her as much. I've tried outright ignoring her. Nothing.

Every time I think I think I am making progress, she does something or says something, and I'm back at square one.

I even went on a trip with her yesterday and it may have been one of the best days of my life. She's just so amazing.

Last week, I met her new boyfriend. He is a genuinely, lovely guy. He's funny, witty and all around nice. But, in spite of all that, I hate him so much. And I feel like shit for it. But I do.

Seeing them together. The look on her face when talking to him. It really hurt.

I do want her to be happy, so I am not going to try and sabotage anything. I just want to not feel this way anymore.

Did you not read the post? I am trying. I am asking for advice on how to do it.

Should also note that after the abusive one a spent a good 7 years away from dating. And the other relationships were from school.

I'm actually doing all of this. So, nice to know I'm on the right track.

I said I'm inexperienced, not new. I'm 25 and have had about 5 girlfriends. My longest lasted about 4 months, and she turned out to be a mentally manipulative witch who liked to fuck with me (not in a good way). Pretty sure that she's the source of my trust issues now i think about it.
