r/hopelessromantic

We meet in my first year of highschool. Dated shortly in the innocent way you do with your first Bf. Knowing nothing really. After we broke up we remained very good friends for the next 15 years or so. As we aged and life pulled us apart we drifted. We have recently reconnected and I see him in a romantic light that hasn’t been this strong since the first time we dated. Granted through out friendship there where times when I would feel jealous of his gfs or wish life had worked maybe a little differently but it was never an option and the moment passed quickly.

Now we are adults have are both single and have been kissing and such as two willing adults. However I also wanna put it out there that I want more. So the question is do I risk the feud ship having just reconnecting specially since we already kissed and crossed some boundaries? Or do I try to bury my feelings?

TL:DR - after reconnecting with a long term friend I wonder if it would be wise to tell him I want more than a friendship.

38 f est. looking for sfw chats, if it leads to more let's see what that looks like.

Ideally I'm looking for someone to text with daily/nightly

My interest are conspiracy theories, cryptids, and all things spooky. I enjoy nature, foraging, fishing and hikes. Love the views. I'm a Sagittarius so I'm curious by nature. I enjoy listening to music but lately have been a on a metal kick. Sleep token, avenge sevenfold, five finger death punch.

If any of that sounds interesting to you to message 🙂

So there is this boy who I have known since childhood and we are family friends but he has always been quiet so we aren’t really close, at all. He has never shown any interest in wanting to be close with me and I excepted that from early on, but it unfortunately did not stop the feelings I have for him. He is perfect though, like seriously out of a book written by a woman. He is tall, insanely intelligent, athletic, handsome to a celebrity level, he can bake, wealthy-ish, like actually perfect. I’m also obviously not the only one who thinks so too. It’s frustrating how perfect he is, my crush is more of a for of idolization. I hate it. I remember everything about him i notice without noticing, I go out of my way to cross paths with him in the hall. He is always there lingering in the back of my mind. I hate it. I try so hard to move on, change my usual routes and talk to other guys but I can’t because I just feel selfish knowing I still like him. And when I talk to guys I immediately tell my mom, knowing she will tell his mom because they are friends. I hate that I act this way and how it feels like I don’t have a choice even though I do, I just truthfully don’t want this feeling to end. I’m afraid I’ll never feel it again. And I really have tried, but I sabotage myself and always end up back in the same place, never actually really leaving. We are graduating in two months, I tell myself it will all be over soon and I can finally be free of my past 13 years I spent solely focused on one person and just move on, but I truthfully don’t want to. I’ve grown comfortable in this state of discomfort I named love or whatever crap it really is. I don’t even know what I want from feeling like this. It’s not a relationship because I don’t even really know him, nor his personality, or if he even has one. I don’t know what I want, and I’m scared if I try and figure it out I will want it even more when I know I can’t have it. I know I just sound like a dumb teenager who will get over this and think back on how silly I was but right now, it has taken over more than half my life so of course I’m feeling this way. I’m tired. I wish I never met him. I wonder how I would have been if I never had to go through this. Would I be happier? Would I know myself better? Truthfully no one knows how much I feel about this person other than myself because I’ve kept it suppressed for so long. It wasn’t even suppressed, it just kinda floats around like a burp that won’t come out. My ability to create metaphors is just as good as my ability to handle this situation but at least I’m self aware… haha… I need to get over myself.

So I had this huge crush on my guy for 9 years . Just 3mins ride from my home but I never meets him , though I wish I did .

So did my sadi aunty , she is as old as a grandma . And I visited her on the night of Eid .my mom saw an orange saree out to dry and asked where she went , and so she said:

”to the funeral of my first husband , he was a nice man . Till today when ever we went to any functions we both hoped to see each other , being my relative he was like a god father to my kids . And he only married after I had my first daughter .”

Maaaan I was so shocked even her daughters where hearing this n o w , I feel like a timeless love had ended , and now she was alas able to talk about it .

Ps: the cause of divorce was his MOM .

Help. So we're both seniors in high school. He transferred this year. I met him first, and then befriended his brother. Me & his brother hung out (online, Minecraft) for a bit before he started being weird and not texting back or really talking to me but we still sat at lunch together for a long while before he recently started sitting with his other friends maybe a week ago. Everyone thought I had a crush on him, and I was only slightly intrigued cuz I thought he liked me and I don't normally do shit for the hell of it but it's my senior year so I was like "Fuck it".

Definitely regret it lol. Back to the guy, I'll call him Y. As I said, I met Y before his brother but there was something iffy that happened when I first met him that made me fall back. I had to educate him that the word "bitch" is not something you should use towards any woman, no matter what. He hasn't said it since, but it made me awkward and I had only just met him so I stopped interacting. But then like a month later (had his insta) we started texting about video games and stuff. Then we just started actually talking and texting, he moved from sitting alone in our 3rd period to sitting with me and my friends and then one friend left and he moved to sitting next to me.

He's very sweet, we play fight and insult each other a lot, and he always gives me eye contact and listens to me even when what I'm saying barely makes sense/rambling. There was a time I got really overstimulated (I think I'm ND but not diagnosed) and started crying at an assembly. I hate assemblies because they're loud and bright and everything I hate. He comforted me and then the entire assembly (2 hours) he had his arm around me (he offered) and was covering my ears whenever there was something loud. He also told me not to worry about the people teasing him like "get your game on" & shit. It just became a thing I'm okay with him doing. We were on a trip and the bus ride there n back was 2 hours, he did the same thing. He also put his head on mine and held my hand a bit and didn't care when I laid my head on his thigh. He's always seeking me out in times where we can go to each others classes and he agreed to go to prom because I asked him to. Yesterday I heard him talking to a girl (I was jealous so I was eavesdropping) and she was asking him if he was going to prom, and then asked why since he said he wasn't going and he said "I'm being told to by somebody". He didn't say it mean or anything, actually it made me a little warm idk.

I just,, I don't know. He's very affectionate/okay with affection but I can't tell if that's because he likes me or because that's just how he is. I'm too scared to bring up me liking him or anything because I don't want to ruin a good thing. But he also said previously that he doesn't know if he could ever really like a girl romantically and not just sexually. And I know he hooks up with girls sometimes, or at least used to because he said he hasn't done anything in around 5 months. We've been talking for about 3-4. What do I do????

TLDR: Guy transferred to my HS this year, we started talking and he's okay with being physically affectionate (arm around me, etc) with me. We play fight and stuff and he's always very attentive with me. But I know he doesn't know if he could like a girl romantically, and I know he used to hook up with girls but doesn't anymore (he hasn't in about 5 months, which is around the time I've been talking to him). I am definitely crushing on him and don't know if this is just how he is as a person or if he likes me.

31F, looking for someone (30-40M)to send love songs to when i wake up..a hopeless romantic, that often ruminates on unbelievable love songs with no one to share with...

DM with the first dance song of our hypothetical wedding!

I don’t think I belong in this world…

I’m too sweet in all the bitterness…

I look weak, when really I am strong…

I am actually shy when I act tough…

I smile, even when I’m sad…

I laugh, even if I’m in pain…

I joke, even if I’m dying inside…

I am kind to everyone, even if everyone is cruel…

I love everything, while everyone else hates it…

I try to see the light in the darkness, even if everyone casts shadows…

I always find the end of every tunnel, even if I’m all alone…

I wish for everyone’s safety before my own, even if no one else does the same…

I have so much love in my heart, and yet no one truly understands…

Not a single soul truly knows my grace…

Not one treasures my soul…

Not one hears my heart…

Not one adores my mind…

All they see is a pretty face or a smile…

They like the shape of my body more than the shape of my character…

They like the curves of my smile and my hips more than the rest of me…

They like what they can take from me more than what I can give…

They only like the sound of my voice when they want me to give pleasure, not when I want to sing from the heart.

They only like the way my body moves when they want me to use it on them, not when I just want to dance to a melody.

They like remembering my smile more than remembering what makes me cry…

They like how I make them feel more than how they make me feel…

They like what I can do for them… more than who I want to be when I am with them…

And it devastates me…

I just want to be loved… all of me…

All that comes with me…

Poems and love songs I will serenade with…

Letters and words I will write or say to prove my loyalty…

Thoughtful gifts to show that I care…

Cuddles that last forever because being apart is just torture…

I will snuggle and kiss every crevice, bury my face in their neck and hum in content…

I will adore all of you, even the things you consider bad about you.

I will try my best for someone because I think love is worth it.

I love full heartedly, and perhaps I demand the same treatment…

It’s not fair that I have to do all the romantic things…

When will I get it back?…

When will the love I crave finally find me?…

When will I be happy and with someone who I want to spend forever with and wants the same?…

I’m tired of being used and abused…

I’m tired of having my heart broken and my mind played with…

I’m tired of giving my all just to be left with nothing but heartache…

I want something real…

I want someone real to find me…

I want to be seen…

To be understood…

To be known…

To be loved…

Unconditionally…

I’m tired of everything being a trap, transaction, or tragedy…

I don’t want to be put in a cage, in chains, or on a pedestal.

I just want to be happy and free…

Free to be myself and be loved completely for it…

I want it so badly…

I pray that it finds me soon…
