I am unsure of what to feel, exactly, when I realise that I have been fawning over one girl for the past two years. Considering that I have yet to even hear her voice, it makes me discombobulated whenever I take the time to seriously ponder about my present circumstances.
Anybody who wishes to get fully acquainted with the tragic and pathetic story of mine can simply look into my collection of blogs that I have written and Ctrl+F "Girl Blog". The gist of it is, there's a girl that I've been in love with for 2 years, and I usually see her on the way to school. Some things happened, and a friend of mine managed to get her Facebook and Tumblr.
Naturally, I did some major online stalking whenever I had the time to. Over time, I have managed to mentally construct a list of sorts, of whatever her interests were and whatnot. Anne is a nice person, from what I could gather. She wrote about standard, bothersome, and possibly ignorant hipster ideals and reposted whatever hipster pictures. This made an impact on my young and impressionable mind.
But, I think I can finally push all these nonsense out of my head, refusing to allow it to influence my thoughts, as I once knowingly made an exception to these out of madness.
As I type, I can predict the backlash I will get from what I am going to say.
Today, I was travelling back home after a particularly unsavoury day at school. The bus stopped to allow some passengers to alight, I stood near the exit, not paying much attention to the doors that had flung open. I happened to look out of the exit and there Anne was, sitting on a bench. She was sitting with a boy that was similarly dressed. Full black. She had make up on. She was part of her school band that had a performance today. The guy was obviously a fellow band member. It was where she lived, and yet, she was sitting at the bus-stop in front of her house at 10pm, talking to this guy.
Why? Were they waiting for something? Possibly, but it was rather late and it's not very logical to say that they were waiting for a bus. She could have just entered her condominium, damn it, but common sense would say that she was clearly having a chat with someone of particular value to her. Not only was I suspicious of the time and the fact that it was just the two of them, they were also sitting shoulder to shoulder. It looked quite intimate. I would guess that they had just finished the concert and he was walking her home or something like that.
I don't think there are any other viable explanation for what I saw, so I guess that means the end of this, right? I should have tried, but I didn't. Should I still try? I don't think so.
I think the only rational thing to do now, is to just let it go and continue living my life. But, it's quite difficult to move on, when she was played such a major role in shaping my throughout these years, as stupid as that may sound.
I feel quite empty at the moment. And yet, I feel as if my thoughts have never been less deluded or more clear in a long time. I need some advice guys, please.

Wait, you've never even heard her voice despite catching glimpses of her for 2 years?????
If you've online-stalked her for 2 years, you should at least get a hint if she's attached.. But 2 years is a really long time and anything can happen.
If you want a viable explanation that she MIGHT be single: the guy lives nearby (maybe a connecting bus, 10pm isn't that late) and the two of them stumbled upon a topic that they found really interesting, and they're talking until the bus comes.
Or they might be waiting for a bus together to go to his place =DDDDDDDD

;_; that's a sad story. Having your heart set on a lady like that is just setting up for sorrow unless you make a move.
Were I you I wouldn't give up though! Maybe you can win her back or something. Use this to motivate rather than ensadden.

10pm is quite late, considering that they're in JC and that there's school tomorrow...
Also, they were sitting quite intimately. Yeah, she has been really vague on her blogs about love whenever she does talk about it. I've never got the vibe that she was attached though.

I honestly can not say if I'm motivated or sad. I need some time to mull over this. It's also a little hard since I'm 2 years younger. I don't think I can work up the courage to talk to her too. Even after all this time.

Got yelled at everyday until I started yelling back ._.
If you really wanna inquire as to what is going on, post on her wall or pm (if you're shy) with something like this "Hey how was your performance? I saw you at the bus stop yesterday looking like you had a blast!" Or something like that.
But seriously, you're even creepier than I am. And I'm pretty creepy =S

I doubt that's a good idea, considering that she doesn't know my name and me suddenly adding her on Facebook and talking to her/ or assuming an anonymous identity and posting on her blog with knowledge of her life.

From what I can gather, the girl seems very different from you, unless she managed to indirectly turn you into a hipster, which you don't really come off as. I did pretty much the same thing in high school, met a girl in ninth grade, but never had the courage to speak up, since I was (and still am, to a lesser extent) this white, antisocial, nerdy kid whose nose was in books all day and all he listened was metal and symphonic music (which are oddly similar, and awesome), very different from pretty much everyone else, who listened to pop and the like. I regret it deeply now. She most likely would have refused, maybe even hurt my feelings deeply, embarassed me in front of everyone, but I should have done it rather than live with the ache all my life, asking myself "what if..." Man up and do it if you really care for her, unless she and that guy get together.

I've considered this.
How will I deal with the "What if" conundrum when I recover from this numbness?
That's what I need advice on.

Unless you get a chance to get introduced to her through a mutual friend or something, your crush on her will probably remain one-sided. There are many other girls out there. You might find one with better looks/personality than this one. Cheer up. Play more D3.

Yeah, I might meet someone that's even better. Well, idk. Most probably.
I don't have D3. Don't have the cash, or the interest.

You have 2 options in my opinion
1) try to find something to distract you, like writing a short story or something. a creative outlet is good because the time you sink into it isn't capped. The sadness goes away, it just takes time.
2) try to give things a try somehow.
If you don't think #2 is an option, it might be best to try to focus on #1 and not think about things too much (easier said than done i know)

you are literally a stalker. but it's okay, you can only improve from here. use your biological communication apparatus and make vocalizations at your next reproductive interest. social etiquette will require a response, and you can go home and treasure it for a whole week, replaying it over and over. and then you'll want more, and talk to her and maybe make her laugh or whatever and smile creepily when she acknowledges you online. you see how everything cascades though, right? any attempt is better than 0 attempt, like what you have been doing.

Blazinghand,
I will definitely be doing things to occupy myself. I'm trying to learn Protoss in SC2, was previously Terran/Zerg. Regarding giving things a try, I think I'll just go with the flow.
Heh_,
Yeah I used to play Neopets. Thanks for your input anyway :D

Do yourself a HUGE favour and actually talk to her in the least creepy way you can possible handle yourself. Whatever happens after, that's far far better than what you're going through right now. You can start on Facebook or other online means if you feel comfortable that way. The point is to let her know that you exist, and get to know her better. The more you brood upon the thoughts and let her grow in your mind, her image will manifest itself into unrealistic extremes that will only screw your mind even more. Just get to know her - she's a human being, not some unreachable holy goddess that can only be accessed through 500 hours of nonstop prayer.

Definitely, I'll try my best to be more vocal next time.
Also! New album please

What you've just described is quite an accurate description of what has happened. I'll try to do something. Maybe this will make me less nervous to approach her, since I supposedly have "given up" on her.

Recovering from anything takes time, and the matters of love are no exception. Almost 10 years later and I am still not over it, I blew it, my only chance with that girl went down the drain when some stupid prick thought he would make me a favor and tell everyone, including her what I was all about. If it weren't for that maybe I would've manned up myself and asked her out, but it was all out the window after it. What I'm saying is, don't wait too much, because people find out. Maybe you stare too much at her, maybe your cheeks get blood red whenever you're close to her (believe me, I know that feeling all too well and it's the root of most of my high school problems). Even a single look may be enough to give it away and after that, unless she also previously liked you, but since you never talked to her, that's very improbable, she will avoid you like the plague. It's hard man, it always is in the beginning. Get experience, fast, lest you end up 20 years old with no girl experience whatsoever

Good advice. I'll observe.

This is probably the creepiest girl blog I've ever seen.
Seriously, just talk to her, in person, with real words. You won't die, she isn't some godess that will turn you into a deer and shoot you, or make your brain explode.
Like an above poster said, you're in full-on stalker territory right now.

Yeah I'm a pretty fucking creepy stalker.

Here is what you do. Get some balls go up to her and ask her if she wants to go get something to eat, say something like Want to go get something to eat. it will be my treat. after that talk to her like a normal fucking person and get to know who she really is, do not and i repeat do not treat her as if she is "special", treat her as if she is a person ,at first,at least. You can compliment her looks ect... that doesn't necessarily mean your treating her special, just shows you have an interest in her.
Also stalking is creepy yo.

Considering your age I would refrain from calling you a stalker and just say that you are very insecure and have no idea how to approach a girl,which is fairly common at your age.I'm not sure what to tell you,I was very insecure at your age as well and I fucked up 90% of the time when approaching girls that I liked(and that took ages as well,not 2 years but still). I don't know what to say to you man,your probably going to crash and burn once you talk to her,but its ok.That's how it is for some people at that age and you'll eventually get over it and find another girl.But who knows,if you approach this one right,maybe you won't fuck up and something good will come from it,you'll never know if you don't try.Either way the best thing you can do for yourself is to just talk to her.

Every time I have read your blog, people give you the same advice. Talk to her. Yet every time you refuse to take this advice..why bother posting about your situation if you are not even going to put the effort in and try to change?

Let me share with you some nice pump-it-up music! Hopefully it will give you courage to talk to her.

Talk to her, if it doesn't work move on. It's a no risk high reward thing.

Signed.
On a more serious note, it isn't uncommon for people to accompany their friends until their bus comes, contrary to your claims. Don't stress!

I'll confess I haven't read many of the other posts people have made on here, so if someone has given similar advice, forgive me.
You don't know this girl. You've never interacted with her, aside from reading her interests online, and figuring out what she likes based on a Facebook page. Despite what people have termed "stalking", I think all of this stuff is really normal nowadays. A lot of people "stalk" people online and call it Facebook Stalking... its not really the same thing.
I've been in your position before. There were two twins in high school, I really liked one of them but was young enough (10th grade) and dumb enough to admit to her best friend that I wanted to date her. It then became a joke, because these girls were part of a huge group of girls that had never had boyfriends, and thought the subject was hilarious. They ostracized me, and eventually I stopped hanging out with them, but I still thought this girl was awesome. The more time I spent away from her, the more I fashioned her in my mind to be perfect. She was beautiful, smart, nice (these were things I had picked up on when I knew her as a friend, but in my mind, I made them all perfect). The more time i spent thinking about it, the more I was upset by the fact that I could never have her. The perfect girl. The one I knew was for me.
When we graduated high school, we met up again after my final hockey game as a senior. We lost in the state finals to a three-year champion team, but I had put up four points in the game and had never played better. Afterwards, she approached me and apologized for the way she and her friends had treated me two years ago. I spent a few weeks hanging out with her after that, and realized that my mind had made her into someone she wasn't. She wasn't very nice, she wasn't all that pretty, and I certainly didn't think she was funny. I stopped hanging out with her and have never had a second though since.
The point of telling you that story? Your mind wants to see the best in people. If you idolize someone, you create a persona for them, even though you don't really know them. In your mind you see yourself cuddling with her on the couch, kissing on the porch, going to see a movie together. She's the perfect girl, but likely only in your head. You'll only ever find true love when you find and meet someone you really mesh with. I hope this helps buddy - don't fret over it. From what I know of you, you're a smart dedicated dude and you'll find someone that you really, truly know that you love.
Cheers.
Edit: Despite what I said, I don't mean give up. Blazinghand's advice is good. If you're going to talk to her, by all means, talk to her! But keep in mind that if things don't work out, something better will always come along. The point to my post was... don't let your mind make her into an unapproachable goddess. Everyone is human.

I'll confess I haven't read many of the other posts people have made on here, so if someone has given similar advice, forgive me.
You don't know this girl. You've never interacted with her, aside from reading her interests online, and figuring out what she likes based on a Facebook page. Despite what people have termed "stalking", I think all of this stuff is really normal nowadays. A lot of people "stalk" people online and call it Facebook Stalking... its not really the same thing.
I've been in your position before. There were two twins in high school, I really liked one of them but was young enough (10th grade) and dumb enough to admit to her best friend that I wanted to date her. It then became a joke, because these girls were part of a huge group of girls that had never had boyfriends, and thought the subject was hilarious. They ostracized me, and eventually I stopped hanging out with them, but I still thought this girl was awesome. The more time I spent away from her, the more I fashioned her in my mind to be perfect. She was beautiful, smart, nice (these were things I had picked up on when I knew her as a friend, but in my mind, I made them all perfect). The more time i spent thinking about it, the more I was upset by the fact that I could never have her. The perfect girl. The one I knew was for me.

Wow, thanks for your story. This is something I'm going to have to keep in mind. I certainly do put her on a pedestal.

Epic fail, what are you waiting for? You have to do something.

Nothing to do but go for it... Good luck! I haven't say I've been in this exact situation but I definitely understand not feeling confident in talking to women you haven't really met. Just takes work and practice like anything else in life

Seriously, just talk to her, in person, with real words. You won't die, she isn't some godess that will turn you into a deer and shoot you, or make your brain explode.
Like an above poster said, you're in full-on stalker territory right now. Yeah I'm a pretty fucking creepy stalker. at least you're pretty!!!!

just make a tumblr and follow her, kids around here do it all the time

dude, just relax all that crap is just in your head. just forget and move on. would probably help if you stopped looking at her blog/facebook.

lol just go talk to her
Doing nothing is literally the worst thing you could ever ever do to yourself, trust me.

This is beyond 'FB stalking' after 2 years of major online stalking whenever you have the time. :/ It's real stalking. Thank god you're harmless, but PLEASE realize how unhealthy your behavior is and change it. Having been on the receiving end of two stalkers (one irl, and one online), it is awful. It gives you a lingering unease and paranoia that can begin to affect your behaviors and make you avoid doing the things you like to do and going where you like to go (or online having to change all your usernames/profiles/block people/stop using your favorite forums, etc). It's basically like personal terrorism, and causes you to live in fear all the time. At the very least you feel your privacy has been invaded, at the most you fear for your safety. (I have a friend who had an online stalker show up at her house from across the country and not leave until she called the police. Somehow he found her address. That is scary.)
Anyway, you don't seem malicious. If you are going to talk to her, do so (and don't tell her how you've been stalking her for two years, or she will freak). Then proceed to have some kind of normal relationship based off real interactions.
GL; learn from and change this behavior.

Well dude, it’s actually really creepy you have e-stalked her for 2 years and never spoke to her. I can only give you one piece of advice and people may not agree but this is how I see life. The people that excel with girls or even generally in most situations are the ones that just don’t care or are insanely confident.
It’s weirder now typing it, but just think about it. I started doing this before I found my girlfriend although it wasn’t fully real and I mostly faked it but there’s a difference between confidence and just not caring. I’m not talking about the go around punching preggo women not caring, I mean for example you give yourself two options i.e “
“I’ll go into this job interview and if I don’t get it who cares, excuse to play starcraft”
“Ill talk to this chick and even if I get rejected who cares, I can tease my mates for being pussies”
Its so hard to explain through typing it but its how I faked my way through so many parties as actually coming across confident. Of course deep down your going to care and you’re not going to be disgusting in the not caring way of farting burping or generally not caring about your looks. Once I got the persona of this confident dude, it was so much easier because people expected you to be that persona which made you act out that persona.
But I found if you give yourself a better alternative to what you’re about to do it doesn’t seem so bad if the outcome isn’t what you want it to be. Reading it through it doesn’t seem like much help but it’s helped me. You’ve got to let go of giving a fuck and just do things. Embrace your flaws if you have any and learn to make light of any situation.

Meet my girlfriend irl lol... sometimes I just hate the internet. I can relate man.
sometimes I feel like I should just sleep or skate. Internet can make you paranoid, goodnight.

Apart from your creepy stalking habits, it reminds me of guy's bad mentality when it comes to meeting women (which i still suffer from at times). 'Oh she's pretty she must have a boyfriend' or 'oh she's beautiful she's way out of my league, she'll never be attracted to me''. How do you know? Why make such a bad assumption, just say hi make a little conversation and just ask if you really want to know. Then you can either move on or you might even get a date and a girlfriend.
But knowing you from your past blogs you're not going to do a thing. If you want to keep living your life coddled and safe from rejection or potential bliss keep doing what you're doing. Prepare your life for contentment, it takes courage to live a life of happiness.

Seek professional help maybe? You really do seem to have a stalking problem. While you seem essentially harmless to her of course, I think you're effectively harming yourself--a lot--by having this attachment to her. Try to move out of it, otherwise I can't give you direct psychological advice or anything.
Also as a wise man once said, "u gotta sk8". ;P

Considering that I have yet to even hear her voice, it makes me discombobulated whenever I take the time to seriously ponder about my present circumstances.
Anybody who wishes to get fully acquainted with the tragic and pathetic story of mine can simply look into my collection of blogs that I have written and Ctrl+F "Girl Blog". The gist of it is, there's a girl that I've been in love with for 2 years, and I usually see her on the way to school. Some things happened, and a friend of mine managed to get her Facebook and Tumblr.
Naturally, I did some major online stalking whenever I had the time to. Over time, I have managed to mentally construct a list of sorts, of whatever her interests were and whatnot. Anne is a nice person, from what I could gather. She wrote about standard, bothersome, and possibly ignorant hipster ideals and reposted whatever hipster pictures. This made an impact on my young and impressionable mind.
But, I think I can finally push all these nonsense out of my head, refusing to allow it to influence my thoughts, as I once knowingly made an exception to these out of madness.
As I type, I can predict the backlash I will get from what I am going to say.
Today, I was travelling back home after a particularly unsavoury day at school. The bus stopped to allow some passengers to alight, I stood near the exit, not paying much attention to the doors that had flung open. I happened to look out of the exit and there Anne was, sitting on a bench. She was sitting with a boy that was similarly dressed. Full black. She had make up on. She was part of her school band that had a performance today. The guy was obviously a fellow band member. It was where she lived, and yet, she was sitting at the bus-stop in front of her house at 10pm, talking to this guy.
Why? Were they waiting for something? Possibly, but it was rather late and it's not very logical to say that they were waiting for a bus. She could have just entered her condominium, damn it, but common sense would say that she was clearly having a chat with someone of particular value to her. Not only was I suspicious of the time and the fact that it was just the two of them, they were also sitting shoulder to shoulder. It looked quite intimate. I would guess that they had just finished the concert and he was walking her home or something like that.
I don't think there are any other viable explanation for what I saw, so I guess that means the end of this, right? I should have tried, but I didn't. Should I still try? I don't think so.
I think the only rational thing to do now, is to just let it go and continue living my life. But, it's quite difficult to move on, when she was played such a major role in shaping my throughout these years, as stupid as that may sound.
I feel quite empty at the moment. And yet, I feel as if my thoughts have never been less deluded or more clear in a long time. I need some advice guys, please.
First thing you need to do is get to know her otherwise there will be no chance. Befriend her before you try to become romantically involved.

Yeah I guess it's important to be friends first. A friend told me that a relationship that burns too intensely will eventually die, while a relationship that burns slowly and steadily will long and be fruitful.

I'm guessing this is the same girl from September. I'm going to tell you the same thing I told you back then:

Great questions to ask are "Where are you from", "Where do you go to school", "How is school going", "How do you spend your free time"....stuff like that. Personally I think it's a lot easier to meet people through social groups since the ice is so much easier to break, but when it comes to talking to someone you've never really met this is the way to go.
It's never to late to make a friend. You're pretty much stalking her on the bus, so if you're not going to say anything at least take a different bus.

Oh god, do people remember my pathetic girl problems.
Anyway yeah, got it :D

Azera,
Lots of us nerds here in this community are older than you and have been through similar things. Don't worry too much and try not to thing of this as such a big deal. You've never met this girl in person, so it makes no sense to thing about "ending this", because there was never anything in the first place, apart from some expectation from your side.
Find some distraction for now, and go out and meet some other new people. Without worries but to have a good time and get to know them, you'll soon find out something is working out for you.
