One-sided relationships

loyalPear1728 September 18th, 2022

All my life I have liked guys but they don't like me the same way or I have guys who like me but I don't like them in the same way. I have had relations with two men who were both FWB who I wished could have been in relationships with me as they have qualities I want in a man. Praying I can find a guy who shares their qualities and that he will actually want to date rather than just be FWB.

Has anyone else here gone through the same frustration? Forgot to add this question to the original post.

@loyalPear1728,

I have been in relationships because I didn't want to be alone.

Then I was single for quite a few years. Working on myself.

And then, out of the blue, I met my beautiful wife. I was in a good place, no need for relationships, no need for someone to fill in any needs.

My message, if you love yourself first, love will come your way.

Beautifully said. I am also in no hurry for one. Just don't want a one-sided relationship when I do plan to start dating. Want my ducks somewhat in a row.


That is a great story! Glad you were able to meet that special someone. Best relationships (and or soul mates tend to appear in our lives when we don't expect them).

Yes! I have a similar experience as you so I could really understand what you’re trying to say. Usually the guys who like me are those unexpected people whom I barely interact with so I’m not sure if I like them back. But I’ve liked other guys as well but they don’t like me like how I like them.


After a long vicious cycle of that, I met my current partner whom I was interested on. I didn’t totally like him at first but I had that feel where I thought, maybe it’s not bad to try having a relationship with this person? I never regret not entertaining the others I didn’t feel that way with and although our currently relationship is turbulent, I wouldn’t have it any other way.


Trust your gut first then see if you both work out.
