I wish I would meet a guy like you who would like me back…

I wish I would meet a guy like you who would like me back as well but I don’t like any of the guys who like me :I I read your blog and it makes me feel SO frustrated because I will never have that and I feel like I need to have that

If you’re truly wanting to meet a guy like me, then I’d suggest you unyoke yourself from the concept of romantic symmetry.

He isn’t going to “like you back as well”. He’ll like you in his own way, in his own time, to whatever extent feels appropriate… while you will be madly, irretrievably in love from the moment he acknowledges your existence. If he grows to love you, his love will bring with it a raft of expectations and burdens, while you will be forever naked and vulnerable in your boundless, heedless need.

Before you decide you need to have it, make sure you know what “it” is.

And more importantly, what you are.
