Re: Is it wrong to wait for love?
It is arguable that what you feel is more infatuation than love. It’s a one-sided affair. If he was a friend, maybe you admire his personality and feel that you share a chemistry with him…but what you have is not concrete; it lacks substance. I am not saying that the reasons behind your admiration are not valid; they may be valid. However, you have no idea what kind of a partner he would be because he never reciprocated that interest. So, all you have is the “fantasy” of what marriage would be like with him and in those fantasies he might play the role of boyfriend/husband/dad beautifully…but real life may prove otherwise. The human imagination is powerful…been there, done that. And imagination or fantasy is not worth wasting your life over…been there and made that mistake myself as well. There’s a chance that this guy might have “sensed” your interest in him…and if he did, he did not do anything about it. So, he’s not the one for you. Or even if he had no clue you were smitten with him, there was nothing holding him back from expressing his interest…that is…if he felt it. So, even in this case he was not the one for you. The right guy will pursue you. And you won’t have to depend on the fantasies your mind conjures up…cuz you’ll see his reciprocation (thru consistent actions) in real life.
So, as for the question of the thread…“is it wrong to wait for love?” No. But it can be harmful to wait for someone who is an exact copy of your former crush. And you’ll find…with time…that your expectations of what you want can change.
