So I have a few friends right now who have some unrequited love on their hands. You know, the age-old story of one person being madly in love with the other, unbeknownst (although sometimes beknownst) to their friend/would-be sweetheart if the pursuer had their way.
Unfortunately, some times the only thing you can do in that situation is sit and wait. And wait. And wait. And hope that perhaps, one day, you being such a devoted friend, shoulder to cry on (about other lost loves no doubt), and reliable enthusiast for someone else, will be noticed someday, and the other person will realize what you realized a long time ago. But hopefully then your hard-fought fight will be won, and will be completely worth every disappointing experience you've ever had, and tell you that you were right to not lose hope.
Except when that doesn't happen. And how can you tell if that will happen? Quite simply: you can't.
I dislike this system.
And as someone whose conversations are %80 talking about dating I recognize that this is a common issue, and generally one that one must work on via a case-by-case basis.
If I had a switch, all of you unrequited lovers would get your wish.
just so you know.

A mighty pain to love it is,
And 'tis a pain that pain to miss;
But of all pains, the greatest pain
It is to love, but love in vain.
I love the entire wikipedia article on unrequited love.
Thanks, Besty. I wish the same for you, too.
We're just the unrequite-types. You, me, Taylor Swift...
