That is the most likely outcome if you keep obsessing over this person.

I agree. You don't seem to want to pursue your own desires, so you're better off sitting back and accepting the easy, cushy, rule-bound life your parents offer. Otherwise you have to commit to being your own man and doing your own thing.

You can't sit on the fence and expect the benefits of both!

Good advise Wes666<<< you don't have the 666 on your facebook handle do you lol?

I think everyone has had the childhood crush. Need to man up and forget about this one. Stop moping and meet other women. If you're an Indian check out the series Master of None on Netflix.. pretty funny stuff.. might help you loosen up a bit in interacting with women.

i went after everything i desired in life except for that girl, most of what i went after, it has been a success.
so i wouldn't consider myself as someone who doesn't pursue my own desires....it's just that i felt like there was too much at stake for me to do something about that girl ( considering how religious both of our parents were)

She is no one to you, and you are no one to her. Let it go, there is nothing there but a fantasy in your head.

I'm sorry. Love, crushes and all that come when you actually know someone, you talk, you get together and hang out.

(read this if you have too much time to spend)i guess i'll tell you how i started liking her..
we used to dance and stuff in church for special meetings...after a week of one of our performance i saw her outside the church with her mum...and i was with my mum......she saw me and got excited ( i guess) and she started jumping..and then i felt something that i've never felt for a girl...for some reason i didn't react then but inside i felt like the happiest kid in the world...i didn't know it was a crush back then but a few years later i realized it was a crush and until now i can't stop thinking about her...
Wow!!! 9 years?

Ouch. Dude, I sympathize. I don't know how you can get over her. But you are definitely going to have to try to forget about her.

Didn't you meet her at church? I would think that would be a plus, even if she is not also Indian. (My Indian friend received a lot of pressure to marry a gal from India, and was even given a timeline to find one or his parents would find one for him. He followed his heart and last month married an American).

I am dumbfounded that you would choose to pine away for someone since you were 11, and wasted your entire teen years on fantasies. You only get one life to live and you've wasted much of your youth on something you've created in your own head that doesn't exist in reality. Why on earth would you keep choosing to do this? You can control your thoughts instead of sitting back and letting them control you.
Hey, he was a kid, none of us dudes think straight during those years. Sucks that his whole teens have turned out that way, but he still has his life ahead of him.
