It’s been said that all’s fair in love as war.

And yet nuclear war, chemicals weapons, the killing of defenceless prisoners or to bully or mistreat them in any way are not fair. Convictions of honour and good sense govern the theatre of conflict.

And yet romance has no such conviction. Atrocity today will be found mostly in a familiar or domestic setting. Personal auschwitz.

It's absolutely no fun being on the receiving end of unrequited love.

manipulation, passive aggression, trying to guilt you into not feeling the same, mind games... that's not friendship and time to walk away.

In my case it is friendship, where he is just in love with love, and I happen to be his ideal for the moment...

This reminds me of the first time I fell in "unrequited love". I think I was in seventh grade. It was truly one sided and really bothered me at the time. This morning I got a reminder in my email. I think he passed on about three years ago at age 67. It made me really sad even though I had not seen him since high school graduation.

Yes, some people are just very special, and we remember them for life!

jono7: i have seen both men and women keep an admirer who loves them in the Friendzone. i don't think the evil of vanity is gender biased.
yes but you know what its also a choice to remain there and not move on.....so its not like anyone is keeping someone there who doesn't want to be there....I also was in a similar situation with a family friend who I think of as more like a big brother....he's an alcoholic with commitment issues and I have never been attracted to him that way....we were writing for months on fb and I made it clear when he started hinting about me going away with him and spending over nights at his place that we made better friends than we ever would lovers and each time I said no he would disappear....so I don't want to be friends with someone who cant respect my boundaries and the word no.....wave

hiya M4 wave

yes, i agree. that at the end of the day one is responsible for their own choices. i did not address that, and was not assigning blame.

my point was that in my experience, both men and women can be placed in the friend zone and it is not gender biased.

i have been on both sides of this coin: romantically loving someone who did not feel the same, and being loved romantically by someone in which i did not feel the same. much like good fences make for good neighbors....good boundaries can make for good friendships. sometimes a true friendship can be developed, and other times not so much. one has to decide for themselves what is in their own best interest towards happiness, and hopefully what is the highest good for all concerned .

absolutely jono...if one has no respect for your boundaries they have no respect for you...your choices or decisions...its all about what they want and what you want doesn't matter....that's not the substance of a good friendship with anybody regardless of gender.....bouquet
