Is it normal i still think about my high school crush?

It’s been nearly 3 years since I’ve seen her, and I still miss her. We never got past the friendship stage, and she even said she wasn’t attracted to me, but she had such a unique personality and I’ve never met anyone who made me feel like she did.

Maybe it’s not so much her I’m thinking of, but our potential. We could have really been something great, but she was so oblivious to how I felt (even she admitted as much) and decided to spend time with other people. Even now I’m still bitter she never invited me to anything, or that I never had the balls to invite her. I keep hoping for someone better to come along but maybe I’m getting my expectations too high.

Maybe life would be easier if I was asexual.

    There was never anything there, you are obsessed with an idea and a fantasy, taking this girl and morphing her into your ideal partner.

    Be real with yourself, nothing happened between you for a reason, this wasn’t meant to be. Stop torturing yourself with fantasies.

    • Thanks, that’s the simplest way to put it.

    It's normal, for sure. You might be in love with an idea of her though, that you've created in your head. Or you want to be in love as a form of emotional tourism. Lots of people who think they've fallen in love just want to complete themselves, or spice their lives up.
    If not, and it's still been three years, then you probably really like her. You can either ask her out and risk rejection, or cope with the distance. Writing about your feelings will help, it's soppy but don't underestimate the power of putting your feelings to paper.

    When someone says they're not attracted to you then you should leave them be.
