Love Unrequited

If a large facet of love is communication, how is it that some of us fall in love alone? Does it mean that somewhere along the way, we weren’t communicating properly? Or does it mean that one was lead astray by her partner? It is possible that the miscommunication is unintentional. Sometimes, people enter strictly “business” relationships, and one or both parties end up having a change of heart…typical behavior of women, but not obsolete within the male gender. So, is love and sex related? Is it possible that the people who believe that sex without love exists are in denial? At times, blocking out the things that are real and painful help us to cope. Is love and life predicated on what we are willing to believe and reject?

In the case that one falls in love alone, how can she recover after realizing that? It’s make-believe-like to think that one can let the other in on the love she’s grown for him, and expect him to return the favor of uttering those tear evoking words. It is not unrealistic, however, to believe that he feels something; it may not be love, but he may feel closer to her, at least. Men aren’t incapable of feeling an emotion other than anger. Maybe holding onto the hope of being loved back is what prevents a woman from accepting that her love is unrequited and moving on.
