The question is simple, share your recent experiences being in love with someone, but don't limit yourself to say "yes" or "no", give more details (Does she talk to you? Is she your friend? is she interested in another person? etc.)

Here's my situation: I met her when I started working as a tipper in a kind of store here in Chile (similar to Home Depot in the U.S.A.). One day, a group of my workmates (including her) and I went to the cinema to watch a movie and after that she started to be so loving with me. We started to talk as friends and we talk about many things but then she started to tell me her secrets. I thought to myself "Just wait for the moment and try it". But one day, while some friends went out one night, she KISSED ONE OF MY FRIENDS. I could hide my sadness but I felt so bad inside. Then I learned that they started going out more frecuently, even though her mother forbid her to go out with my friend (one more thing, the guy who took her had recently broke off with his girlfriend, who was pregnant of his second baby). Then they kept going out, but she still was so loving with me. The part that I hated was when she talked about my friend and she really thought he was the man of her life. Inside me, I knew that my friend didn't think the same, because his break off with the mother of his children was so recent and he confessed me that he was still in love with the ex-girlfriend of that time.

One day, my friend, thinking about his children, decided to end the relationship and came back with the ex-girlfriend. Of course, the girl I like was so sad because of that. One day, my friend asked me for giving her back all the presents she gave to him, because he considered his time with her as a "dark period of his life" that he wanted to forget. Of course, she felt so bad when she received all those presents and she cried. I talked to her to make her feel better that day and she thanked me to listen to her.

One day we decided to go to a Ice cream Saloon and we talked as the old times. Besides, I took the time to return to her something that my friend forgot to return and I decided to give a pair of delayed presents of christmas: a clock with the cartoon she likes (she loved it when she opened the pack) and a Christmas card made by myself with the following message "thank you ofr being as you are, thank you for existing".It is a bit cheesy, I know, but grace is that it is written in Dutch, the language she learned when he was student exchange for those places in Europe.I said to her not to open the card until she arrives her home.

Nowadays, we don't talk so frecuently like the past year because of the "Uni" and her work (she moved to a better place to work), but I try to talk with her by Messenger or at least I take my time to go every week to her work, although sometimes I can't find her because I don't know what time it works because they are not fixed shifts. At least she still salutes me with a loving hug every time we meet.


Well, that's all by now. It's your turn to tell us about you.

greetings.

Yes. I couldn't make a move and she wouldn't. She broke up with me for this reason and a traumatic situation which happened to her. I have not talked to her since.

Then you are not an Incel anymore

no, haven't been in love in about 8 years i think

To the OP: That's some really painful friendzoning. I feel for you.

I think I'm currently falling out of love and into no man's land.

I am in love with my friendzone girl. I met her at work two years ago. We got along really well, and share a lot in common. We developed a friendship. I found out a long time later that she has a boyfriend. I still can't stop thinking about her.

I have only ever experienced one sided love too. I wonder if it's even possible for someone to care about me in return, the way I do about them.

I have never been in love. Part of me feels grateful and part of me feels dead.

I have that guy with whom I'm kind of obsessed but I know him too little to be in love.
The last time I've been in love, really in love, was 4 years ago approximately, 2nd year of uni. I really thought it was going to work this time, I was totally infatuated and happy and felt like I was high 24/7, and I felt he was going to reciprocate my feelings. Then I took the worse blow ever and all collapsed and I spent 5 months totally depressed and sad, crying in the morning, crying between classes, crying when going to sleep etc. But now I feel like anyway, however painful it's been, it was worth it, the feeling was still good to experience.

Never been in love. Although there is a woman I would like to ask out, but I can't man up to do it.

I'm a fucking sad excuse for a man.

Eagleheart, it sounds like you need to fight for her. Take your friend out, I mean get him away secretly. Love is called a game. She's taking the easy out by going with the easy one. Make her see that you are better.

I don't know what constitutes love, since I have never had any woman I pined for reciprocate. But I am stuck in oneitis again with a woman I have longed after for some time. I had put her out of my mind but she has re-entered it. I went back to college and met up with my former roommate who offered to help me get her affections. He was the one who brought it up, but I know he won't do jack shit towards what he offered me. However, I was walking back from class when I heard someone call my name. It was her and we had a good chat. Now she monopolizes my mind. I toked up which has the adverse effect of making me horny and she came into my mind and I am both in love and lust with her. But fuck a duck, I am too scared to do anything. Hence why I am drunk right now.

The concept of two people actually liking each other is so alien to me. I've only ever known unrequited passion.

Sorry, but I strongly disagree with the notion of "fighting for a girl". That only works in the movies. Most relationships I know didn't develop under adverse circumstances or out of emotional struggle, they developed naturally out of mutual attraction.

The girl here made her choice. "Fighting for her" is unlikely to yield good results and will only make EagleHeart feel responsible for something that wasn't entirely in his hands.
