Have you ever been in love with some one who was not available... either they were married, wrong sex, engaged, in relationship, best friend, wrong age...

How did/do you deal?

It sucks...they promise you the world and come through with nothing.

welcome to my life, you just deal with it the best you can, like with myself i wont mess with someone else's relationship or marriage, i just let them know how i feel

I sure havent

I guess somethings you just have to accept and let go of....I guess how you get to that point is like finding forgiveness you simply have to find it in your own way....

in love no,had a crush maybe

been there, it blows big time

You just know that someone better than who you hoped for is out there, just remain patient.

I was seeing someone for about 3 months we had the no strings attached thing going but it started to get serious between us and we got rid of the NSA a couple months later 1 month before Christmas she told me she was having her ex husband over on Christmas eve for dinner. Long story short we stoped seeing each other. I still gave her the Christmas present I got for her and to this day we are still friends.

I totally fell for this guy that I was really good friends with. When we met neither one of us wanted a relationship and we had both pretty much given up on love. Over a period of time, we became the best of friends, but the only problem was I fell hard for him and he didn't for me. He still to this day does not want to fall in love again and eventually I want too. Unfortunately, we are not close anymore and I miss him terribly. I wanted to maintain the friendship but he needed to find his way out of state and he has distanced himself. I hope one day we can obtain that close friendship we had before because no matter how I felt, I still considered him my best friend.

Getting over falling for him was a lot easier than getting over the fact that he is not in my life at all. Honestly, I haven't really dealt with it.

Unavailable emotionally? Many times. How did I cope? Poorly.

Working on changing patterns today, with a little help from my friends.

you are the man!!! you did the right thing she, on the other hand, did not so...

Nope, never been in love with someone who wasnt available....i have been attracted to ppl in the past that werent available tho, and i just accepted it for wat it was.....a crush that would never go anywhere.

No

I think if that persons not available you have to respect that but that dosn't mean you have to happy about it.

Just deal, the hand has already been dealt...nothing can be done, just further the friendship.

funny you should ask this I woke up this morning to a guy who was NOT avail. 4 years ago now he sounds like he wants me back I said I can only offer friendship, I had to move on long ago and though its hard I felt better because I was second best in their choices. Keep your chin up off your chest and you have my blessings!!!

Yup. It suckles. The worst part is knowing there's nothing you can do about it.

Well if they are unavailable I figure it's not meant to be. Because when it is it works.
