    ok so well this is a topic that crossed my mind and i thought was quite interesting...

    do people think that true unrequited love is possible?

    In other words is it actually possible to be in love with someone, with absolutely no reciprocation of feelings? Does love not have to involve having some kind of relationship with that person?

    On the other hand is it possible to simply fall in love with someones looks and personality, even if they don't have any of the similar feelings for you?

    Is that true love or just a very strong crush?

    hmmmm

    Just intersted what other people here think really...

    I'm not sure if I believe in the whole 'true love' thing. However I think unrequited love is absolutely possible. Especially if (you're like me) and have fallen in love with someone who is straight. You have feelings for them, but they may only think of you as a friend, or not even know you exist. Overall though, I'm still trying to define love. I think everyone has a similar basis for what it is, but when you get into specifics it becomes complicated and individualized.
    I hope that made some ounce of sense. ^^;

    Definitely.

    Four years of unrequited love told me that much, and it has got to be one of the most painful things I've ever experienced.

    It's possible to fall in love with someone without them loving you back. Like Holly said, it's incredibly painful, and it's something you don't want to go through. If you are feel free to PM me. (*hug*)

    I'm wondering if we know the point where we start having feeling for someone so we stop seeing him/her.
    I have never been in love before

    In my opinion you cant be truly in love if you don't have any sort of relationship with that person. It is possible to have a major chrush on someone, but i feel unrequited love doesn't really exist!
