  Ravings of a Corporate Mommy: Unrequited Love Letters
This is a big deal because Afghan culture frowns on (to put it mildly) love letters outside of marriage.
In a world where a person rarely chooses their own spouse, falling in love is something done usually from afar and is rarely requited.
An Afgani man in the article said "I was once 21, and I was in love, and I remember that when I listen to the radio." I was 21 once, too.

  Halfbakery: Anti-unrequited-love drug
Pop music love songs are devoid of the power to reach you on an emotional level, or even an intelectual level for that matter and should not reflect the wonderful genre of whiny love songs as a whole.

  EROICO | The Practice of Unrequited Love, Part II
Unrequited love is of course, a form of obsession, but one where the issue of control might be less over the person in question, and more over the entire situation itself.
In unrequited love, the person feels as if he or she is the key to the entire relationship and must bear all of the conflicting feelings that unrequited love brings.
With unrequited love, the failure stems from a simple, pathetic feeling: “Why doesn’t he/she love me the same way I love him/her?” Our doomed unrequited lover is seeking to impose his own feelings on the beloved, with the tacit understanding that such a feat is not possible.

  Unrequited love - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Unrequited love can result in obsessive behavior such as stalking and even transform into hostility toward the object of desire if the love is rejected, though this behaviour really is more of an exceptionality than the norm, and is usually rooted in much deeper problems than a broken heart.
Whether a particular case of unrequited love is interpreted by an observer (or by the love's object) as being sweet or creepy is a complex and subjective issue.
Perhaps the most famous example in Western culture of unrequited love is that of Dante Alighieri for Beatrice Portinari, with whom he apparently spoke only twice in his life, the first time when he was nine years old and she was eight.

 Romantic love - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Romantic love is a form of love that is often regarded as different from mere needs driven by sexual desire, or lust.
Where the love is one-sided (unrequited), the result can be damage to the esteem and/or the psychological welfare of the spurned lover.
Romantic love became a recognized passion in the Middle Ages, when in some cases insurmountable barriers of morality or convention separated the lovers.

Last Sunday, Love seemed almost invisible in the final pairing with Mickelson, who was high-fiving fans and basking in the commotion as early as the walk to the fifth tee.
Love doesn't have that gear, nor was he in any position to indulge in crowd interaction four holes into Sunday's battle.
At age 41, Love remains one of the finest ballstrikers in the game, a player whose skill is measured not only in his length off the tee, but his soaring trajectory on long irons and superb distance control with wedges.

Unrequited love - arguably the most painful of heartbreaks, provided it is truly love, and not merely lust or infatuation.
Apart from the unconditional love most of us receive from our families, love is rarely unconditional, even though it may well aspire to be.
My ‘experience’ with unrequited love probably doesn’t count because I was only 15 when it started and I was 18 when it finally ended, so I couldn’t have known much about real love back then, but it was still a difficult time.

 Love, Relationships & Romance - Unrequited Love - ShaadiTimes
'Unrequited love' or 'love which is not reciprocated, though reciprocation is desired', has prevailed in all ages and fills up much of the space in 'Agony Aunt' columns of our times.
In real life, unrequited love may bring about bizarre reactions in lovers - it could range from being the silent lover who never seems to muster enough courage to propose to the beloved, to the angst-filled suitor who will even try to seriously injure, mutilate or murder the person who has said no.
Unrequited love may end when the lover receives reciprocation from the loved (consummation), develops less intense feelings for the loved (starvation), or channels his / her feelings towards another, more reciprocating person (transformation).

 Salamander Candy: Unrequited Love
Love of nature is not just the good feelings we have when sharing a moment with a plucky chipmunk, or while watching the Sun sink into the ocean, or when naming the stars one chilly night while floating in a boat on an alpine lake.
Love of nature is a caring for wild places, for their intrinsic worth.
Unrequited love, in this case at least, is a happy and necessary thing.

 Love - Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
Scientologically, love is a derivative of lust, the impetus which causes a human such as yourself to seek certain traits another human has that s/he wishes s/he had before s/he ceased being a "finder" and became a "seeker," if you know what I mean.
During the act of sex, "love", especially when used in a sentence between the words "I" and "You" by one or more of the copulating partners generally means, "Oh, God, did I just say that?".
"Love" is also known in a good deal of dictionaries as "a hideous fl hole of pain and suffering" that most people fall into sometime or another in their lives.

 Unrequited Love: Then and Now
He wrote to Lady Melbourne that “I know not whom I may love but to the latest hour of my life I shall hate that woman.” However, it is likely that he was deluding himself about the true nature of his feelings, since he retained the capacity to be deeply affected by her.
Whatever one decides about the true nature of their love, it is certainly the case that when we talk of unrequited love, we often have in mind something which looks a bit different from that suffered by Caroline Lamb.

It was a fairy tale story that began with the rose colored glasses we continuously wore.

 Unrequited Love - Gregory Dart
Unrequited Love is framed by experience: Gregory Dart begins his book by describing being the subject of an obsession, and he closes it with a record of an unrequited infatuation of his own.
Dart is more concerned with unrequited love and its torments than the crazed and violent stalker of Hollywood (and, occasionally, real-life) fame, and his literary background leads him to offer some decent reflections on unrequited lovers of yore -- from Goethe's Werther to Stendhal himself.
He notes: "unrequited love is unrequired love -- impractical, unproductive and unreal." But, as he shows throughout the book, it's out there -- and can strike the best of us (witness his Charlotte-longings).

All men of one law stand indicted: if you can’t love with love that’s unrequited, you cannot love--no matter what you do.
For secretly I’m longing to be brave, to warm my ice-cold heart with passion’s burning; in lukewarm love affairs enmeshed, I rave of unrequited love and hopeless yearning.

 [No title]   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Teenagers and preteens, who, after all, have the least experience with love relationships (and who sometimes develop massive crushes on falsified, airbrushed images of their favorite heartthrob-celebrities), are particularly susceptible to this tendency to idealize those they love or desire.
Falling in love is an entirely subjective experience, and of course it is never okay to stalk someone, or to insist that someone "give you a chance," romantically speaking, if that person is simply not interested.
If you are the parent of a teenager who is experiencing the emotional turmoil of unrequited love for the first time, remember that adolescents have not yet been alive long enough to look at a situation from the "long view" perspective.
