I guess I'll start. Through the last couple of years of high school, this troper went through a lot of AllLoveIsUnrequited. The first girl it happened with had an UnrequitedLoveSwitcheroo later. I didn't actually know it was an UnrequitedLoveSwitcheroo until I came home for the most recent Thanksgiving break, 3 years after the fact. The girl in question was only free for a couple of days, and she insisted that I take her to IHOP alone at 1:00 in the morning the night she got back. Then we talked for 2 hours and I realized what had happened, though neither of us outright said it. Of course, a relationship is rather unfeasible at this point because we go to college in different states and neither of us could do a long-distance relationship. Funny how that works.

This trope sums up my love life. Usually what happens is I get a 6-month-long crush on them that they fail to notice. A year later, when I no longer care, they're following me around with starry eyes. Then comes the bonus round: up to two ''years'' after they've given up and/or decided that they hate me, I fall hard. This pattern has repeated three times now.

Huh, so this troper isn't the only one then.

Nope. Could be worse.

I went through this in High School. We met in an art class, I became a StalkerWithACrush, she warmed up to me... just in time for me to start dating someone else. It became reversed again when I found out that she was dating someone.

This troper had a fairly epic one, with variations, that went something like: girl sees boy in play, girl pines for a bit and then decides she'd better forget it, girl actually meets boy through random coincidence, girl and boy hit it off, boy just wants to fool around but girl actually likes boy and thus squashes the idea, boy gets over it, girl gets over it, boy sends mixed signals, girl decides ''she'' wants to fool around but doesn't want a relationship, ''boy'' actually likes girl and thus squashes the idea, girl gets over it, boy gets a girlfriend, girl tries to date other guys but realizes she does like boy, but by the time she manages to say anything about it, boy is totally committed to his girlfriend, girl gets over it ''again'', and nothing ever actually happens. (And all the while narrative causality is throwing every rom-com cliche in its power at them, to no avail.)

This troper got this, or rather thought she did. After comparing notes, she realized that their "unrequited" love overlapped. By about ''three months''. For perspective, the romantic sentiments were about six months on her end.

Think this applies in my life right now.

Edgy went through this with a number of ladies. I went through this in my senior year of high school. I finally kiss the girl and heartbreak happens. Cue me going TropeTales/ManipulativeBastard. I went through this again with an ex I am going good terms with and eventually got cockblocked by some douche. In the end, I'm glad because that ex has HPV.

A while back, an old coworker who had always liked me randomly got back in contact with me after her boyfriend broke up with her. I blew off hanging out with her for over a month, but after two nights of hanging out, I was the one who had it bad for her, and she was the one who began to only see me as a friend.
