This is a three part curiosity for me that focuses on unrequited love:
First part: Have you ever had someone "fall in love" with you but you had no love interest in them at all?
Second part: Have you ever "fallen in love" with someone who didn't share your feelings?
Either way, do you think that it was really love? Can you really be "in love" with someone who doesn't love you back?
It may sound silly, unromantic and WAY to practical (I've clearly never fallen in love...) but I don't think that its possible to "fall in love" unless you have some realistic hope in hell of being "loved back".
What I mean is that I don't think that when two people are in a situation of unrequited love - where they are on completely different pages about it - that the one who is "in love" can actually be "in love". I think, instead, that they must be mistaking and misunderstanding the relationship. They end up "falling in love" with what they think is there... but not what really is.
Third part: Did the one "in love" keep pestering you/him/her to become involved and begging you/him/her to give him/her/you a chance?
And if so: Ugh... why?!!
