Now this thread has me thinking about all my girlhood crushes...and how much I loved simply fantasizing about the objects of my affection. That was always enough...it still is. Totally a hopeless romantic. Now you know the truth about me. Please don't tell my robot friends. :/
But yeah, what do you guys think? Is it enough fo you just to have those feelings and be satisfied with daydreams? Or must you obtain the object of your desire to be happy?
I've often thought that making contact would spoil the fantasy...which explains why I've always been happy just to swoon silently. |

You were talking about platonic love and the unrequited love of children being different, and I was wondering whether it's got something to do with an experience you had, or if it's just the way you see without necessarily having gone through that. |

Feels like it's just common sense to me. I mean regardless of whether or not you knew at the time what kind of love you felt for someone, chances are it wasn't platonic. I think you need to go through quite a bit of life/love experiences before you can figure out the difference between platonic love/infatuation/unrequited love etc. |

| I like to think that I have platonic love for ugly people, but really I don't love them at all. |

no, it's not. "swooning" over them silently is torturous imo. i usually at least make an attempt, otherwise i'll keep thinking "i wonder if..?" |

| I bumped into a girl in town about 12 months ago who I fancied throughout highschool (bout age 12-15) and we were talking about stuff & she said "oh you used to fancy the out of me didn't you?" and I said "yeah either that else I was staring out of the window behind where you sat" |

I'm always shocked when dudes from my past tell me they had a crush on me. I mean I was so ing obnoxious, and never really stand out good looking...but mostly because I was so annoying, lol. I always thought all the boys hated me.
Oh man was I ever disappointed when my biggest crush told me he crushed on me, too, all through elementary. I was like "Wtf?! Then why did you date Robyn Litt??!!" Clearly because he hated me. :( |

| poor jennn. I liked the 'plain' girls, the ones who didn't need 3lbs of cement on their face to look ok. I'd totally have gone out with her forever given the chance, but it never happened so meh :p There's only about 2 of the old 'couples' still together anyway, one of whom got married last year. Nauseating. |

| This reminds me that I'm madly in love with a woman who won't talk to me anymore. Funny thing is she was crazy about me in middle school/high school. We dated, but I didn't give a . I was too busy trying to around with her friend behind her back. I just wish she would talk to me a little bit, so that I could go back to not giving a . |

| Having a crush on someone who doesn't have a crush on you does not constitute unrequited love. |
