Falling in love is a part of nearly everyone's life. Fairy tales have led us to believe that we each have a soulmate, but truly it seems as though this is a trick sometimes.

Of course there are those who are swept away by each other. Those who instantly fall in love with one another are lucky, but what about those who have to fight for affection?

The truth is: unrequited love sucks. Falling for someone who doesn't feel the same way as you is a pretty fatal blow. You might hear violins playing every time they enter the room, but they might just see you as a friend. Is this the point when you give up or do you keep going. At what point do you need to accept that they don't feel as you do.

I guess it really depends on the situation. If there is an abrupt "no"'from them when you admit your feelings, then you should probably hang up that coat. But if there is even the slightest chance that they might like you back, don't give up yet. They might feel the way you do but they might just not be ready yet. They might be as scared as you are.

Love is a scary thing, but it can also be wonderful. It all starts with a little crush, and truthfully it might not always work out. You'll never know if you don't try, though. Right? So go for it, because you're an amazing person who deserves love.
