Loving someone you can't have or desperately seeking someone to love but finding satisfaction in no-one?

I'm stumped. Both situations suck.

Loving someone you can't have, because you know you're supposed to be with them, but you can't.

If you don't have anyone to love, there's still hope that you'll meet your soulmate at the grocery store or the libary tomorrow.

I agree with eggs.

The former sucks. Although, depending on how it's looked at the former could be the underlying cause of the latter.

That sucks :(

the latter is much worse. at least the former makes you feel alive.

I am going to have to go with the second.

It is the situation I am in.

Loving someone you know you can never have.
To find something so perfect and beatifull, but to never be able to express that... agonising.

There's a shred of hope in each... I'm currently horribly single, but I don't think I'd wish for anyone to be in the first situation.

Sometimes I feel pangs for a girl I loved once... I wish we could go back to the way we were. Unfortunately, she's not the same person anymore, so I'm stuck longing for something that doesn't exist anymore.

Sounds tough.

Sounds tough.

Yeah I think the fact that I couldn't get over her for years seriously fucked up my outlook on life. I was moping when most people were learning the basics of relationships, and now I'm clueless.

I think what's worse is when you see someone you almost know you can get, but the opportunity never seems to arise. It's fucking agonizing..
