Unrequited love is a strong admiration, ingrained deep inside, for someone who does not feel the same way about you . Those suffering with this mental torment will go on for weeks, months or even years hoping, bargaining, praying and fantasizing of the moment when their beloved will one day change their mind and reciprocate their feelings. This intense yearning and passion may cause frustration, anger, anxiety, shame and deep depression. These feelings are compounded if the sufferer was also rejected by the object of their affections. It could cause the sufferer to stay in bed for hours, call in sick for work, have anxiety attacks or even be in a cloudy haze from time-to-time. Furthermore, ...would've, should've, could've scenarios may play over-and-over again in the sufferer's mind along with scenes of desirable end-results. Over time, healing comes when the sufferer discovers how to love and truly know oneself and realizing that they are in control and ultimately responsible for their own state of mind and being. The feelings of hopelessness and loss are only temporary and are actually false. However, it may take the suffer a substantial amount of time to realize this.
We could be the most amazing couple in the world! Unfortunately, my affections for him/her were not reciprocated which lead to unrequited love. I held a greater value of the idea of a partnership than they did, and now I am left with feelings of hopelessness and yearning :-(

Love for a person who does not love you back.
Usually a close friend/past lover. You get to know that person, think they are brilliant, fall for them and can't get over them. It can affect your drive for finding a relationship.
However, if you are a sufferer of unrequited love, usually this is because you wouldn't want a partner that wasn't them. Similar to oneism.
Unrequited love can be one of the most emotionally painful experiences to go through, even worse than a break-up, because you will have never had the satisfaction of ever being with that person in a relationship.
Unrequited love is usually not linked with sexual desire, as the sufferer feels what could be considered a genuine obsession and love for the boy/girl in question.
Almost everyone on the planet will have experienced unrequited love at some point, and many will have been the subject of unrequited love.
Many sufferers of unrequited love do not tell their desired partner of their feelings due to fear of losing a friendship with that person. After all, it is better to be friends and be able to talk to them and see them than for them to block you out completely.
An anecdote from the popular Disney film Alladin helps to sum up unrequited love. Alladin can wish for all the money, power and fame in the world, but he will never be able to make Jasmine love him.
Unfortunately, the likeness stops there as Alladin and Jasmine end up together in the film. More often than not unrequited love amounts to nothing.

I love you, but you won't ever love me back.
Why don't you love me?
I'm getting depressed about you because you won't love me back.
Why do you only see me as a friend?
Unrequited love...it's a bitch

Is when a person is madly in love with someone, and the one she/he loves does not return the love. Often, the person in love tries desperately to show her love, but to no avail.
The person may feel rejection, depression, mania, or anxiety, because her love isn't returned, but it doesn't stop her from devoting all her love anyhow.
She may feel like she's going crazy!

Euphoria Godsent, wrote a song about unrequited love called, "Maybe You"ll Love Me."
The lyrics are, Why do you hate me? Always reject me. Seems like everything I do, it's never enough for you. Why do you neglect me? I feel like I'm nothing....

Poet: When you give someone your whole heart and she doesn't want it, you cannot take it back. It's gone forever (ie. unrequited love sucks).
You: Holy fuck!!! Now what? It´s not even like I wanted anything!
Friend: Stick by her, if she´s worth it... One day she may get that this shit is for free.
You: Cool! I´ll try that...

The worst kind of love. The love for those in love alone. Symptoms include: making a fool of yourself, daydreaming, and unrealistic hopes/desires. When you love someone who will not, and won't love you back it creates this immense longing for that person. You think that they are different than the tough jerk exterior he puts out, and are always hoping one day he will change and come to your door. But he never does, and even though you finally realize how much time you've wasted, you still love this guy. Its undeniable how pure your liking for them is, but you just want them to look at you and have that slow motion eye contact, realizing your the one, the one hes been looking for. Over time, this love may fade, but there will always be a little imprint of them in your heart.
Ali likes Jacob so much, but just can't seem to be herself around him. She is nervous and knows he will never love her like he should. He will choose a girl with less moral standards and she will have to suffer watching drowning in her own unrequited love for him.

When someone you love deeply doesnt love you back, or even bother to give you a chance. No matter how many hints you give to that person, they treat you like your invisible. It's happened to me and it's very heart breaking. :'( <3 <3
Girl: *Watches her crush pass her by in the hallway, not even bothering to look at her* "He's never going to love me..."
Her friend: "He's not worth it."
Girl: "You dont know how bad it hurts. No matter how many hints I give him, he acts like I dont exist..."
Her friend: "Oh... Unrequited love."
Her friend: "He's not worth it."
Girl: "You dont know how bad it hurts. No matter how many hints I give him, he acts like I dont exist..."
Her friend: "Oh... Unrequited love."
