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....

Quite possibley the worst feeling in the world. When you love someone but they don't love you back. It kinda makes you feel like a creepy loser. And you tell yourself that you dont care, you were over with before you began, that this is pointless, but you cant help but think about them. And you know what? Theyre probably a total dickface you screwed you over, but you dont even care. One day in the far-off future you'll wonder why you gave a fuck about such a loser, but for now youre just going to have to hope that either they start to have feelings for you back or just hope and pray that you get over them, neither of which are prolly going to happen.
I'm in unrequited love with Sean, even though we'll never work out cuz we can't get our goddamn timing right. First, we liked eachother but I was going out with his best friend. Then we didnt see eachother for a month. Then we had a huge fight. Then we made up and things were back to normal until HE ASKED OUT ANOTHER GIRL THE NEXT DAY. And now I'm really paranoid he'll read this and think Im a stalker or something.

The crappiest, most hurtful, painful and confusing thing out there. It's basically when you're in lvoe with someone who will never love you and if your like me, he's your bestfriend and you know everything about him and him to you but it'll never work out because of obliviousness and fear to tell him. If you aren't like me, then the situation may vary to someone whos a total dick to someone who doesnt know you exist to your ex.
Ex: Me "I love him with my entire heart for 2 yrs and hes my bestfriend. Why can't he see I love him?"
friend: "unrequited love, hunny."
friend: "unrequited love, hunny."

Being in love with someone who doesn't love you back,one of the the worst feelings ever. It may be that they don't see you in that way,the option doesn't enter their mind or that there is something stopping them from loving you. It feels like banging your head against a brick wall and never getting anywhere...

"Unrequited love". That one person you would die for, but they don't even care if you did. You're madly in love with someone who doesn't even notice you, someone who probably doesn't even remember your last name. You want to show them you would do anything for them, that they're literally your world. It makes you feel like you're so empty and that your life is meaningless without them.
You remember every fucking conversation you've had with them and every fake smile they gave you. You would do anything just to be friends, although they don't want to be.
It can feel like you're being stabbed constantly in the chest, crying in pain while you're the one holding the knife. Those many sleepless, drunk nights, wondering where everything went so wrong. Those are the nights that you wanted them the most.
It's like you're dead, but you're still alive.

The saddest feeling where someone you have a lot positive feelings for doesn't share the same. You feel extremely hurt and rejected but continue loving them because of fake hope.
