unrequited love

Share definition
Loving someone who will never love you back. If you're like me, the term will apply to someone who probably used to love you but you either didnt take the chance to fall for them, scared of being hurt, or, quite simply, blew it. And now spend your time wishing after them, wishing one day they'll love you again.
However, when one day you realise the one you love, loves you back, it gives you the most amazing, elated feeling you never thought was possible.
Examples of unrequited love:

1. Romeo to Benvolio - "well, in that hit you miss: she'll not be hit With Cupid's arrow, she hath Dian's wit;"

2. Tom will never know how much he means to me... after all this time.

Even songs are written about it: "And behind his tierd eyes, she sees the boy with his arms wide, who made her feel like an angel... 'cus she's lovin' him still for the rest of her life..."

When you fall in love with a person, but they don't fall in love with you. Being in love feels amazing - but when they only see you as a friend, it hurts you so much. You could get them out of your life and try to get over them, but you care about them so much that you'd rather be secretly in love with them knowing that they don't feel that way about you.
1. I'm in love with my best guy friend.. but he doesn't feel the same way.. love is the best feeling ever.. but knowing that its unrequited love.. it hurts.. </333333333333333 D'''''''''''''''':

One of the worst feelings in the world, when you love someone and they don't love you back. This could be because they only see you as a friend, or they just don't see you at all. You could like them so much and think about them all the time but they will still carry on going out with some whore and isn't good enough for him. It really sucks. Maybe one day you'll get over it, but for now, you feel like your heart's being shattered into a million pieces and you are incapable of making an effort in moving.
Billy will never love Susie. It's an unrequited love.

- a strong romantic feeling for someone that is not returned. This is often due to a one sided platonic relationship.
- a relationship is often built up in ones head, only to find out that the other person does not feel the same way, therefore it is unrequited.
steve: I love you Pandora
Pandora: Erm you do know Im going out with Haz now dont you?

Steves love for Pandora is unrequited love because she doesnt feel the same way about him.

A form of love that is not returned by the other person. a perfect example of this is Stevie and his "beloved" on the ESPN college football Message board.
Stevie just cannot seem to let go of his unrequited love for his beloved"

I was stuck in an unrequited love storm, but I built the illest life raft & stuck it out longer than I should had.
