this is apparently something [info]aroraborealis  does every year, found via the always-entertaining and informative [info]rosefox . i thought i'd repeat it here for fun and profit.

Tell me a secret! Tell me a not-secret! Express your maddest crush or deepest curiosity! Expound upon the fabulousness of your friends or lovers or would-be friends or lovers! Do it anonymously or with your name attached; anonymous commenting is on and IP logging is off. This entry is public.

You know you wanna.

A secret? From me? Um...I have a massive crush on one of my boyfriend's best friends. We see each other about as often as my boyfriend and I see each other. We just haven't physically consumated our mutual attraction.
why not? is it something your boyfriend would be okay with?
We're monogamous, and I wouldn't want him to go makin' out with ladies that weren't me, so it wouldn't be fair for me to make out with dudes that aren't him.
Also, I did not mean to make "friend" plural. It's just one friend. I realized I made a typo.

I still have feelings for her

I met this girl and we dated for awhile. I was so into her but because of things totally unrelated to me, she broke up with me. I was one letter short of being in love with her and I miss her still. I realize it wasn't going to work out and that there were too many communication issues, but for a brief moment in time, I was happy and it was good. Now I think about her too much and I know it isn't really her I miss but what could have been. Pathetic.

Re: I still have feelings for her

it's not so pathetic. but i think you're right when you say what you miss is what could have been.

The first time I saw you, you took my breath away. I so wanted to talk to you to get to know you, but just couldn't muster the courage. I saw you a few times over the course of a weekend and haven't seen you in person since, but I just cannot forget the beauty that I saw in you, both in outward appearance and your glowing spirit.

I still regret not making myself go and talk to you. Its a moment of cowardice in my life I wish I could have back.
this is the kind of thing that totally sucks. something i know about myself is that i'm not very approachable - friends tell me i tend to give strangers an "eat shit and die" look. and i'm sorry if i did that to you!

i hope we see each other again, and i encourage you to come and talk to me if we do. i'm actually a nice person, i promise. it just surprises the living shit out of me whenever someone decides they'd like to get to know me.

It was nothing you did that prevented me from doing it, just me. I wasn't in a great place in my life and my self-esteem was shit.

that's changed. :) The weekend I saw you was the weekend I began finding myself again, by coincidence. When I next get the chance to see you in person I plan on fixing my mistake. So, when someone comes up to you and says "Hi,it was me." and then tells you where and when it was they met you, you'll then know. :) Until then, just think of me as a secret admirer. :)

I'm happily taken and also in love, but I can't seem to shake the fact that someone who has stuck around in my life was the "one" that got away... and every time I say that, I think a DIFFERENT one thinks it's her.

It's not really a big deal.

You're fabulous!
why talk about it enough for different women think it's her? if it's still so huge for you, why not either do something about it or put it out of your mind?
I have lots of moments where I don't think people really like me and I don't fit in. :(
me too. all the fucking time. being a human is sometimes totally lame.
I suck at being people. I fake it really well, but sometimes I just feel like I FAIL!
I really like you.
I knew a woman who used to live a town where I went to college. Though we didn't talk much in the beginning, we got to know each other better over the next 3 to 4 years. There was once an opportunity to physically consummate my crush with her, but fate intervened and it wasn't to be. Later that year, she ended up moving away, albeit somewhat suddenly. I still chat with her on occasion and would like to visit her. However, the usual Real-Life(TM) issues--time and money--prevent this from occurring. I know I'm forever "banished" to the "Friends" ladder and she now has her own significant other, but it doesn't stop me from wanting to flirt with her out of jest. A summer afternoon stroll through a deciduous forest with her would make my day...
lol, the ladder theory! i'd forgotten about it.
Oh yeah. Despite it's humor, in some ways it made sense so the philosophy stuck with me.
I quite frequently feel like people are laughing at, rather than with, me.
I wish I knew you.
why?
I can't decide which I fear more success or failure.
