Many of us here might have this secret crush on one mingler (or more), but I believe that not all of us react the same and express our feelings in the same manner. I, for example, can't tell her about my feelings. I can't even give her a hint by a post or a comment taking into consideration how sensitive and emotional I am. It burns me from the inside to know that she is talking to someone else either here or in her happy real-life. It only helps to wait until she is awake and then wait for her to post. I can't describe how happy her posts make me... My eyes dance literally to the rhythm of her words, and rainbows pour out of the screen to color my life and make my day. The happier I am in this virtual life, the more miserable I am in real life knowing that she doesn't even know about the way I feel .
What should I do about it, and if you have had the same experience, what did you do?

Post a message to her in Sir Dino's Valentine thread perhaps?
Naww, who knew you were such a sweetheart. Good luck. But if you do not make a move, she will never know. Rejection or acceptance is better than burning....

I'd better burn until the last cell before I read that (I like you, but...) thing. It's much better to live in a sweet dream than in a bitter reality

My advice is, be yourself. Either the crush goes both ways, or not. That's life

Then just start off as friends. No need to to tell her you fancy her. After all, once you get to know her, she might not be 'all that'.
Just message and chat....about anything.

I'm being myself, comrade Larsi, that's why I wrote this post. I could at least tell her that I love her, even without her knowing.

hi

I can't, and won't tell you what to do. Though I have been there a few times, here.... and got "I like you, but" every time. It sucks but I eventually realized it's better than living a fantasy. Online fantasies have a way of interfering with real face to face life. It's a trap that that's much like being locked away in some dungeon.

I reckon, she might know it already. Some girls can read between the lines

I agree with River.
I have been there once, and although it had its charm it could never lead to anything as there's always that distance. So you cannot even get together for a coffee.
It does interfere with normal life, and if you say that isn't happy it may be the exact thing to work on as that is real. You can still have your little fantasy at moments, but I'd say try to get a happy/happier real life going.

I may not be able to post here again, and may even deactivate my account if she rejects me. I'm not taking that risk for the sake of you guys so that you don't miss my precious presence.

That's very sweet of you to spare us the agony of your not being here, haha.

Just teasing, I do get that. I felt much the same way when I was Piscesmoon and spoke up about my deep seeded crush. I ended up deactivating and changing my username, kind of like a fresh start.

Mostly what I've found since then is that they aren't so much rejecting me as a person, they are rejecting the long distance thing and all that entails. LDR's are tough and a huge risk to invest your time and heart in. Not many are up for that, especially when you haven't met face to face.

Who was Mr. Right back then?

My secret crush! And apparently he wasn't Mr. Right, lol
