Persevere on love or move on? (4)

1 Name: Befuddled : 2009-03-06 01:26 ID:pg0epkQ6

Long story short, I've liked this guy for 1 1/2 years now, and absolutely nothing has happened between us during that time period. It's mostly my fault, I guess, since I deny everything that's going on between us, but he's really oblivious, too.

I was always happy knowing that he was content and happy, and I wouldn't mind if he found some other girl that he liked. Even still, it's frustrating that he'll be one of those guys who'll never see anything past their studies.

I don't know if I want to keep loving someone I know will never have any feelings past platonic for me. There's another guy I know who's really sweet and kind, almost the polar opposite of the first guy.

Should I persevere on the first guy or accept the fact that Cupid hates me and move on?

Either step up for your feelings and try to get the things rolling between you two, or indeed back off and move on.

I can't help but think that those were the most content yet most aggravating 1 1/2 years of my life. >_<

Usually how old are people when they meet their true loves? Like, the ones they'll live with for the rest of their lives?

No idea, Befuddled, but I did hear a story from a friend of two of her friends getting married. I understood it that the couple had been good freinds for over five years and were in their late 30's. So focused were they on work that the gal didn't realize the guy loved her until his approach. Don't let this happen. Guys are little different than girls, huh?

If you're already good freinds, just boldly broach your interest in the least weird way possible. Like "I feel like..," "do you ever think we..."
