I've noticed there was quite a bit of unrequited love on Wings. First, there was Joe and Carol. They were supposed to be married, but Carol wound off running off with Brian. She eventually left him for another man.

Then, there was Helen and Antonio. Antonio clearly loved her, but Helen never saw him as anything more than a good friend. Same thing with Casey. In fact, that happened to antonio a lot.

Then, there was Joe, Brian, and Alex, although Alex and Brian eventually did end up together.

<sigh> It stinks when you really love someone romantically, but realize that person sees you as no more than a friend, or worse, they don't even like you at all :crying: I've had that happen to myself quite a few times. I think I've given up on finding a special someone. I don't think anyone would want to be with me :(

Ahhh, Kristen. Don't think like that! This older, wiser lady I know, works next door to me, lol, told me: Never settle for someone. You'll meet the right person if you keep at it. Or not, just let it happen.
And I've not been that successful in the romance dept. either. I thought I was in love as a teenager, only to have it end when my boyfriend and I of 4 years broke up because of going to separate colleges. You know you hear about that ALL the time. I shouldn't have been so surprised when it happened to me <g>. But I so felt like he was the guy for me. And I've been out with many guys since, and haven't found someone with the qualities I found so attractive with my first real boyfriend.
It's hard to find a good match sometimes, or even a lot of the time.
Or maybe I'm just talking out of my arse, lol.

Anne <---who really wants David Duchovny or Ewan McGregor, but they're both TAKEN! ARGH!!

Kristen, you stop that kind of talk RIGHT NOW!

I just turned 48 on Sunday, my wife is 45, and we've been married 16 great years....

I got married when I was 32, she was 29 (both first marriages)...and ours was a real "Joe and Helen" relationship.

We had been friends for 5 years before we started dating. In fact, we used to amuse each other with crazy stories about our disasterous dates! The time just naturally came when we had to take "that step" into becoming more than friends...and when that time came, it freaked us out just like it did Joe and Helen! (I think that's why I enjoy those second season episodes so much!).

Anyway, 16 years and two daughters later, our love and our marriage are better than ever....but we never really saw it coming at first....

So DON"T get discouraged and DON'T give up....get out, meet people, have fun and RELAX...chances are that big relationship will happen when you least expect it!

don't say that! It makes me sad! :(
I don't have anything wise to say though, since I kind of feel the same way about my life as what you just said. lol. But I try to believe what other people say- like what pilotguy just said! It'll happen some day...

Thanks, guys :) You just made me feel a little better.

I know I shouldn't give up on finding someone who loves me, but from my experiences, I often feel like there's no one out there for me. I have several disabilities and I went to a small-town high school that was also very small-minded and I was basically an outsider and the guys either made fun of me or just ignored me :crying: By the time I entered college, I figured no guy would ever be interested in me. I have quite a few guy friends, but I've never really had a boyfriend.
