When you're attracted to someone whilst both or at least one of you are drunk, and you almost hook up but don't for one reason or another, unrequited drunk attraction is when you still feel that underlying attraction towards said person even after the alcohol has drained out of your liver. AKA, the next day, week, month, etc.
Patti: I'm not interested in him, I still just really want to hook up with him ever since that night when we were so wasted and he wanted to hook up with me but we got interrupted...
Andrea: That must be a case of unrequited drunk attraction.

When you love someone who doesnt love you back. When you cant stop imagining life as their lover but it will eternally remain a fantasy; as they dont think of you in that way.
Tom may never know how deeply may cares for him. How she longs for him so intensely. How much it hurts to know it is and may always be unrequited love.

It sucks. There's nothing you can do to get rid of it. It'll never go away, just sit in the corner waiting to be real for someone else. All the while being too spoiled to accept someone else who truly loves you, because you're waiting for that one person, holding out hope that they're just timid. It'll take the utter snuffing out of hope to realize that they don't want you. And what hurts even worse is in some instances they're quietly unaware of their effect.

It’s having an over active imagination. It’s being able to see an entire relationship in your head. The conversations, the time spent together. All of the meticulously planned. Only for you to wake up and realize that it isn’t even real. And that that person barely even knows you exist.

The feeling of discomfort and awkwardness when someone is attracted to you but you don’t reciprocate those feelings.
These feelings can arise for a number of reasons:
- Empathy and Guilt: You might feel for the other person, knowing that rejection can hurt. There's a level of guilt involved in not being able to return someone's affection, even if it's beyond your control.
- Unwanted Attention: The awareness that someone is observing or thinking about you in a romantic or physical way, especially when you don’t feel the same, can make you feel uncomfortable.
- Fear of Confrontation: The possibility of having to confront the situation and potentially hurt someone's feelings can be daunting.
- Dread: The possibility that they will try to interact with you and you will politely go along with it as you don't want to hurt their feelings.

She was a real beauty and eventually learned to cope with feeling unrequitant when she got unwanted attention from men.
He was anxious approaching her because he did not want to make her unrequitant.
