Jim that is the way of it mate. I can't count how many girls I was interested in, but it wasn't reciprocated. We usually remained friends, but that was it. As I said. you will be doing something one day, or nothing at all. You will see a girl, or she will see you, you will chat for a while and then go your separate ways, but you will meet again and chat for longer this time. Face to face, not by text.
That may happen many times mate, but each time you learn a little bit more and you will get over it. But one day it will be the real thing. Either you will know within a couple of hours, or it may grow slowly. But she is out there mate. You just haven't met her yet. But you will!
