  • Without a doubt, it is a curse.
  • Neither, in my opinion. If you truly love someone, you want what is best for him/her and you are not the person who matters. You cannot decree that someone love you back..it is not necessary. I think the mere fact of being able to love someone enough to make no demands and have no selfish needs is a totally positive place to be..nothing negative whatsoever that I can see! :)
  • It isn't really a blessing as love not returned is hollow and there is no way to nurture it other than on false hopes. And it can be a curse if you harbor it too long and feed your disappointment. But by learning to let go and let the other person be happy wherever they need to be, then you break the curse and can move on. However, then it isn't unrequited love as your love turns to something different.
  • Right now I feel like unrequited love was more like a curse than a blessing. I went through a UL experience when I was in my 20s. In hindsight, it was a big waste of time because I could have been focusing my thoughts an energy on something else instead of on somebody who didn't want to have anything to do with me.
  • Well, the last time my love was not returned, it was a curse. it has been nearly a year and I still feel that way. MEN!
  • It usually is a curse, if you allow yourself to wallow and wilt because of it. It is a blessing, if because of it you sought to improve yourself and if the experience gives you a perspective on life that you never had before. I would think that for someone who is just incredibly good-looking that the opposite sex is just magnetized to him or her, that unrequited love would somehow put him/her back in his/her place and make that person a little bit more humble. Something like that. So, I guess, if unrequited love is seen as a curse, then there exists a situation that makes it a blessing, hard as it may seem to imagine.
  • It is always a blessing to love someone, whether they love you in return. It may hurt to not have them love you back but I am still grateful for having had the opportunity to love them. To me my life is not about how much everyone loved me but more about how many I have loved. :)
  • I think it can become a curse if you let it make you do stupid things in an attempt to bury your feelings. I've done some things that I'm not proud of, just to try "getting over" someone I couldn't be with.
  • It hurts and can make you wonder why they dont love you back and love someone else instead. The best thing you can do is take their hints, move on, and find someone who returns your love, cause wasting it on someone who doesnt want it will make you very unhappy.
  • Curse. I think that only people who never lived it and have unrealistic romantic ideas of life find it a blessing.
  • A curse, of course. Would you say "unrequited" is a blessing? Here, let me translate those words for you. Unrequited love = longing
  • Blessing. Without it, there would be nothing to gain, nothing to head toward, life would be boring. It's always good to have a chase!
  • Um...I would say unrequited love can be worse. Sometimes it causes more pain. But on the other hand...BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR. It came true for me and my life turned into a hell that might haunt me my whole life.
  • i would say it is definetly a curse. to love somebody but not be loved back is always terrible. how could that be a blessing?
  • Even if it's curse let's not to use the very words "love" and "curse" in the same place, same sheet. BleÅŸÅŸ, Prof. Mes
