    It would just be interesting to know :lol::slight_smile:
    Personally I just wouldn't ask them out or show signs that I like them.

    Nothing. If I know I don't have a chance, I don't see the point in bothering. The only thing you'll accomplish is making a fool of yourself, or getting your heart smashed into a billion pieces.

    Usually I feel like I don't have a chance with anyone, and that tends to mean I don't ever express interest in anyone.

    Every time I've shown interest in a person since I was little I have been shot down.

    Personally, I'll go for it anyway...I mean what have do I have to lose. I would much rather have the satisfaction of knowing a definite answer rather than constantly thinking of what might have happened if something were to occur.

    I might still try to be their friend, but if they don't like me like that its no big deal.

    I just daydream about them, talk with them as much as possible and just hope that they will eventually pay some attention to me.

    It's almost impossible NOT to think of one if they've made an impression on you. I'm thinking of the suited up guy I'd see downtown on my daily commute for a period of time. However, I have been realistic that there are certain people who are not available - they could be out of my league, they just don't show chemistry coming the other way, they are in a relationship, they are married, or you saw them in a shopping mall somewhere across the country. I developed this realistic approach by the time I finished college, so that means at about 22. Prior to that, I was more naive and more hopeful. Live and learn.

    Sometimes it's easy to be all "well I don't have a chance in hell, I'm obviously not going to approach them".... Well, that part is easy to me. But I personally have a hard time letting *go* of the crush, I tend to develop crushes very very easily and then it's hard to let go of them. Time and distance is all I can really do.

    I let it take it's course and I stay away from the person until i can forget about them but like with me I'll like 5 or 15 girls at the same time so I guess that helps

    Usually it's just people who hate my personality that I don't have a chance with so I cut them out and make them feel bad only if they talk to me but I don't actively go out of my way to make them feel bad.

    By chance do you mean chance to be in a relationship with that person?

    If so, in the past what i would do is make sure that i get into bed with that person. The very least you'll know what you'll be missing lol

    I am in a tricky position when it comes to relationships, so the chances are usually slim to none. I don't form any sort of attraction at all until I have known someone and bonded very closely, and even then seep desire has only happened with one person. Because of this, traditional dating just does not work for me at all. I try to focus on doing what I love, and living a full life without expectation of ever finding anyone. I have already met the love of my life, and I still don't know if they feel the same way yet. So I guess my answer is enjoy life with friends or by myself.

    First I get angry at the universe, but then I just try to move on... which is really difficult because my crushes just stay in my head for ever. I try talking to friends about it as well, just to let it all out.

    I wouldn't make any advances and try to let it go.

    There's no point in putting your heart into a sawmill only to have to glue it back together yourself. That was a terrible analogy, but the point is that it's best to leave it than to dwell on what's impossible.

    Be upset for a while, then try to suck it up. I probably would try to distract myself or not think about it.
