serjames asked: The friend zone is an interesting concept - I've been attracted to various girls who haven't returned the same level of affection oft times before, and vica versa as well. But it's nowhere near the idealised unrequited love which a lot of people (generally younger) seem to think it is - love for me has always been a reciprocal venture, I don't think I could truly madly deeply love someone who wasn't in love with me as well.
In matters of unrequited love, I always defer to the wisdom of e. e. cummings:
‘and being here imprisoned,tortured here
love everywhere exploding maims and blinds
(but surely does not forget,perish, sleep
cannot be photographed,measured;disdains
the trivial labelling of punctual brains… ’
