500 Days of Summer

What could you possible do in a situation like that? You fall for a girl but she doesn't believe in Love, and the last thing she wants to do is find it. Everyone will probably go through a situation like this at least once in their lives. We live in a world with free speech, and where we are encouraged to be independent thinkers; some will want to fall in love, willfully searching for love. This also leaves others to simply turn the other cheek when love approaches.

He loves her, but she doesn't. She loves him, but love is just not in his vocabulary. Unrequited love? We often think of unrequited love as love that is not returned, one person loves another but the other doesn't reciprocate the love. This then leads us to believe that there cannot be a relationship with love that is unrequited, but this is false.

Love can indeed be unrequited in a relationship. Unrequited love is simply when "The beloved may or may not be aware of the admirer's deep affections." So looking at it with an open mind, unrequited love can exist within a relationship. One person loves the other, but the other is just unaware of the deep affections. The beloved who is unaware may be in the relationship for a completely different reason than the lover. Realizing this must be devastating... imagine giving everything you have into the relationship, only to have it go unnoticed by your beloved. It sounds like an unhealthy relationship, but it does happen and everyone will inevitably go through it.

No point in getting down over the realization of this circumstance, rather look beyond the situation and plan ahead; how will things go from here? Are you willing to give it 150% and gain the love of your beloved? Or did it take you too long to realize this and you have no more fuel in the tank?

If you're willing to go that extra mile to vie for that love, then good. If you're running on an empty tank, maybe it's time to get out and walk. Maybe you'll find someone that'll give you some fuel to fill that tank up (yeah, I'm really riding out this whole car-fuel-tank-analogy lol).

On the brighter side, maybe by the time you realize you've been a doormat, he/she will come around and things will start evening out. So if you're in a relationship where the love is not returned, just keep your head up and try to stay positive. Love will find its way somehow.

Oh and as for the movie... I can't wait for it! lol
