Unrequitant

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.

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
