I can't get over this kid, I think that I do really love him. The problem is, we never dated, and he doesn't seem to even notice I'm alive. is it normal to be so attached to this kid, when he doesn't seem to want me at all?
Unrequited love is so tragic.
Make a move. The worst he could do is say no. And if he does, it may hurt but that'll eventually go away.
The never knowing what may have happened won't go away. Ever.
I have a story that seems kind of similar to this...
I'm a girl.. and 3 years ago, me and my family moved away from where I grew up.. and I met this guy at the local youth group.. I was instantly attracted to him.. he was gorgeous, funny, and never failed to put a smile on my face.. I would say hi to him every time I saw him, but he never acknowledged it unless I asked my brother to tell him.. after a few months, I asked him out.. he said no... then I tried to be friends with him and he pretty much shut me out.. I kept trying and trying to be friends with him, but it never worked.. So many nights of crying myself to sleep.. So many conversations with my parents about how difficult guys are and how I shouldn't be so wrapped up in this guy.. And I'm not even kidding, he HATED me.. he got so annoyed with me, he had his cousins (who were my friends) tell me to back off.. he was so annoyed with me and wouldn't even bother trying to put up with me... he absolutely hated me... one time, he even hid when he saw me because he knew I was gonna try flirting with him or whatever.. which, of course, made me depressed.. I almost killed myself because of it... but I had asked him out a total of 4 times until, a year later, I moved 300 miles away.. And was still madly in love with him.. I thought about him every day, carried his picture around with me, and wrote letters I knew I'd never send to him.. another year later, I came to visit and was still as in love with him as ever.. decided to move back, and become his friend. Took so much hard work to even become his friend.. pretending to be interested in the things he liked, including bands I've never heard of like Breaking Benjamin.. which I looked up the day he told me about them, and instantly got 8 of their songs so he would think I was cool.. and so we'd have something to talk about... But I became his friend, and that was good enough for me... I was perfectly content with that.. we actually became really close friends.. he was able to open up to me.. he also knew that I was still in love with him (cuz it was incredibly obvious) And guess what? Now he's my boyfriend ;) We're so madly in love now and even discussing marriage.. Persistence is key.. I wanted him, so I got him..
Try being friends with him.. and if that's all it ever is, try to accept it.. Be content with only being friends, and who knows.. it might become something more..
Best of luck my friend!
I don't think that's love, more like infatuation. Yes though, it is normal.
I agree with what seabird said.
