Quote From: flatoutgalI do believe in true love, I do believe in love at first site - however I also know that it is possible to love someone so completely, and have nothing returned. Especially when its someone you have to see and speak to every day.
I know there is such a thing as love at first sight but I'm not sure about true love if there is nothing being returned. I met someone four years ago and I thought he was someone that I could fall in love with. We acknowledged the attraction we had but we only got together a couple of times and were not completely intimate. He is a 52 year old bachelor. After each time together, he would have a change of heart the next day and he never gave me an explanation as to why. This happened a couple of times. He works in the same building as I do, so I see him on a regular basis. I have even aksed him straight out what I did to make him change his mind and that was just about six months ago but he just put me off, and I was totally humiliated. I will never approach him again. There has not been a day go by that I have not thought of him. I know he does not want to have anything to do with me but it still does not stop me from thinking about him. Is this love or infatuation? Can infatuation last for four years? I have been out with a few other men since my divorce because I know I have to move on, but I can't seem to get past this. I think the only way I'm going to stop thinking about him is if I meet someone else. Obviously, he is just not that into me. True love is not one sided, so this cannot be true love. I'm hoping I will find true love with someone that actually loves me back. Life is too short to settle for less.
