Poll: A hypothetical scenario.

[Superhyperactiveman]

So, here's the situation you're in. You're dating someone. It's not just some random person you met a while ago. This is someone you've known for a very long time, and you've always wanted something more with them. This is someone who you can honestly say you love with all your soul, and they finally agree to date you.

Here's the thing though, in the back of your mind, you KNOW that they're not really that into you. They're dating you because they care about you too much to say no, because they've had bad luck with relationships lately and they're feeling desperate, because they don't have any better options available. The reason doesn't really matter. What matters are the facts.

You love this person.
You are happy with this person.
This person really does not want to be with you the way you do, but they still are.
The person is not happy with the relationship as it is.
Thy may or may not develop feelings for you later.

You're not sure if this person may develop feelings for you, but you are sure of one thing. If things continue the way they are, the relationship is going to end. So, escapists, how would you handle the situation and why?

The heart wants what the heart wants. If this person does not share your love then it would be selfish to expect them to stay with you just to prevent your feelings from being hurt. It sucks, but you deal with it and move on with your life. I hate to use a bad cliche' but there are plenty of fish in the sea.

Been there done that.

I loved a maid of autumn once,
with sunset in her hair

Nothing is worth humiliation, always be in control, there will be always others.
