I feel depressed

[Anime Girl]

I doubt anyone would read this, because almost every thread I make gets ignored. I feel sad. There's this guy I really liked. He's a grade older than me. At first I wanted to go to the winter formal with him, but he was going with someone else, who asked a day before I had the courage to find out. Last month I admitted that I liked him. Now I'm wondering if I made a mistake. I want him ,but I feel like I can't have him. I thought I would be able to let him go, but something in me just can't. It's hard. I wish he would like me this way. I dunno what to do. I can't sleep, I can't concentrate on my work, I can't even draw. Now here I am just wondering, how the hell did I fall in love!?!?

If you can direct me to a single thread you started that didn't get at least one response, than I will agree with you here

Valentine's day is a real pain in the arse, but it's just one day. And what you're feeling is just one crush. Don't let it get the better of you hun.

I have no girlfriend for years, but I could not get discouraged.

Do not give up and do your best.

Sometimes the wait is very long, but the joy is all the more wonderful when you find your soul-mate! I was almost 30 years old when we met, and 36 when we married - but it's been almost 24 years now, and those lonely days are very forgotten.

@ Anime Girl - I never had a date until college - so I know about lonely Valentine's Days, and I never went to a prom... but there are other girls . . . and probably perfectly wonderful but shy or awkward boys around you who can become wonderful friends, and on days like this, you can look to each other for support and fun. I had a number of very painful one-way love experiences in my teens . . . it's no joke, they REALLY hurt . . . but it's time to call on your inner strength, your friends and family to focus as best you can on other things. Maybe do, or see or read something new to get you thinking in a new direction! We certainly love you here, you know!

@ Toshio - I believe your time will come too, my friend.
