Within my circle of acquaintence, it is very common in both men and women. My male friends often play their crushes closer to the chest, though.From all the replies, I take it that clinging to an unrequited crush is a very common thing, especially among women. Is this correct? I had no idea it was such a universal thing.

good pointsI thought this was excellent and thought I'd repost it as it ties in to your original post (and in case you're wondering I did print it out and stick it up) (and I printed the next one out and stuck it up under it).
I think someone else originally posted this one in the womens forum but I'm not sure.
If a man wants you
If a man wants you, nothing can keep him away.
If he doesn't want you, nothing can make him stay.
Stop making excuses for a man and his behavior.
Allow your intuition (or spirit) to save you from heartache.
Stop trying to change yourselves for a relationship that's not meant to be.
Slower is better.
You should not be the one doing all the bending...compromise is a two-way street.
there is nothing cute about baggage... deal with your issues before pursuing a new relationship You should never look for someone to COMPLETE you...a relationship consists of two WHOLE individuals...look for someone complimentary...not supplementary..
Dating is fun...even if he doesn't turn out to be Mr. Right.
Make him miss you sometimes...when a man always know where you are, And your always readily available to him- he takes it for granted.
Never let a man define who you are.
You cannot change a man's behavior. Change comes from within.
Don't EVER make him feel he is more important than you are...even if he has more education or in a better job. Do not make him into a quasi-god.
Always have your own set of friends separate from his.
Maintain boundaries in how a guy treats you.
If something bothers you, speak up.
Don't settle. If you feel like he is stringing you along, then he probably is.
Don't stay because you think "it will get better." You'll be mad at yourself a year later for staying when things are not better.
The only person you can control in a relationship is you.
Thank you for that post! It was so encouraging! I think I might also print it out & save it. That quality in a mate, really gets over looked. I'm still trying to completely get over a past relationship & have really come to learn that you can't make anybody like or love you. It just takes the right person to come along.
when the right person comes along I'm sure you will want to run back to your ex and give him a huge hug and thank him from the bottom of your heart for letting you go so you could meet the RIGHT person. (Ok, so maybe that's a bit of an exaggeration, but I think you get my drift)
Hang in there. Don't settle for second best. God has first best for you!
haha nawwell, i think you should.
There you go Beauty another guy after youThat rocks...if you weren't all the way up in Canada, friend, I'd buy you a coke or something.
Big love,
Zen Mastah
