Unrequited Love

Who's never had an unrequited love?
The day before yesterday I met a girl that used to fancy me in elementary/primary school. When I told her who I was (and she realised I was that rather eccentric kid she liked), she started to tell me about how strong her feelings were (and, just like most unrequited relationships of this sort, this one wasn't really reciprocal, as I had a crush on another girl who, in turn, I suspect liked some other kid). She was apparently happy to remember about her old feelings, and I must admit I remember the girls I fancied with joy (even whey they played no role other than just being there). As a matter of fact, I wouldn't be at all surprised to find out that, because I'd easily fancy someone unattainable for months on end, I can now cope with long distance relationships quite easily.
How about you guys? Would you like to share stories of unrequited love/lust as a child/teen? Or, rather, are you bitter and you want to make fun of these sissy dreamers that didn't go for it in their childhood, because you know life sucks with or without these puerile crushes? Or else, do you want to post funny coincidences related to this topic (e.g. in my case, all girls I know that fancied me in elementary school got pregnant in middle school, which is really well weird)? Have your say, don't just watch from afar :) |

this girl had a huge crush on my in highschool. i didn't know she was alive. (in my defense, i was barely aware of things directly in front of me in higschool. i'd talk more with my cool serbian physicas teacher, and my awesome german history teacher than classmates)
i started hanging out with a related social circle after we had both graduated (i'm 1 year older). it eventually came up. we laughed. she became my gf eventually. now ex.
edit: also, her best friend became my best friend as well. and she LOVES me, but maintains it completely non-sexual due to their friendship. she is the awesomest girl ever too. |

I know that's not exactly what is meant by Platonic love, but that's the expression we use in Portuguese, and I loosely (mis?)translated it into English.
But, let's not get entangled with semantics, I think it's easy to understand what exactly it is that I'm talking about - if you've got a better word/expression to say what I meant in the original post, I'm more than willing to change the topic :) |

| Unrequited love? What you're talking about is the exact opposite of platonic love. |

| I have sexual love for my girlfriend and I have platonic hate for her. She feels likewise towards me. |

Not really: I don't really think kids really feel anything "carnal" by their feelings in that sense, reason why I'm talking about feelings in primary school.
As you grow up, these desires do appear... reason why I later added "Platonic Lust" :p |

Well you're still wrong, and obviously misunderstand what platonic love is. You can't even modify it to include lust by the very definition of what platonic love is, lol.
You're talking about unrequited love, as I already said:
