There is no better feeling than when you love somebody and they love you back, unconditionally, no holds barred, everlasting love. It makes life worth living, it puts a spring in your step, it helps even the darkest situation, just knowing you have someone that will always be there for you. This is why unrequited love is the bitterest blow, knowing that you would be prefect together, knowing he is your soul mate, only for your love to be unreturned. Clinging onto ever morsel of hope, reading into every word he says, its cruel, but as much as you cant help who you fall for, he cant help who he doesn't.

Only recently I've been on both sides of this situation, and neither is easy. A is my ideal man, I believe that we would be perfect together, we are so well matched, we have the same sense of humour, we can talk for hours about nothing, and, even though I refuse to say I love him, I do think a lot of him. To the point where some days he is all I think about. I hate it. I'd love my happy ending but I know I'm not going to get it, its not meant to be. I do know that I need to forget all about him and move on, its just not that easy, every time I decide that that's it, I delete his number, I don't get in contact for a few days, then he'll send me a message, out of the blue, making me believe that he cares about me.

He does care about me, just not in the way I do him.

He tells me he doesn't want to lead me on, normally in the same sentence as he really likes me, or he loves spending time with me. We have (unfortunately) spent the night together, on more than one occasion. I invite him to use me, and every time he does he breaks my heart a little more, and I have nobody to blame but myself. Its breaking my heart writing this because I am talking about the man of my dreams, and I'm nothing more than somewhere for him to sleep when the need takes him.

I know the pain of unrequited love, which is why it was so hard to deal with when the shoe was on the other foot. B is a customer in the bar where I work, I knew he had a crush on me, he asked me out a few times, but I politely said no, and carried on as usual. I don't know when the lines became blurred, but in the end I hurt him so bad. We became good friends over the months, I tried so hard to not lead him on, telling him from day one that I had no interest in him romantically, but he never
