Books about knowing a girl loves you but pretending you don't and avoiding her advances because you're not really that attracted to her, while being attracted to a girl who probably doesn't even know you fucking exist and desperately holding out hope that one day you two will be united together?

If you're wanting the part where the girl you arent attracted to likes you in the book then youre holding her in some value.

>> No.19405165

How do you know that this girl loves you? What about her is so unattractive to you? You’re probably better off taking what you can get instead of pining after what you can’t have. Sometimes in life you have to settle.

Not a book but the fortune teller episode of avatat the last Airbender reminds me of this.

Ignore women and focus on yourself.

Wrong. If girl #1 truly loves you, then you’re better off committing to her than continuing to chase girl #2 who doesn’t know that you exist. Even if girl #2 were to fall for you eventually, she’d always hold the upper hand in your relationship, because she’d know that you were the more emotionally invested one who had desperately pursued her, and therefore she could make you jump through whatever hoops she wanted. And she would, because most women are selfish and love to manipulate men. Whereas girl #1 would always be grateful that you were willing to settle for her, and thus would constantly try to please you and be willing to do whatever you wanted. In that relationship, you’d be guaranteed to have the upper hand. As long as girl #1 has a good character, treats you well, and isn’t too physically off-putting, you should accept her advances.

The reality is that anyone that thinks they’re in this situation is actually terrified of any relationship and would suddenly not be attracted to #2 if they showed interest and be attracted to #1 if they stopped caring.

I do focus on myself―a lot―but I need love, man. I can't imagine being alone for the rest of my life; I barely have friends here at college now and it's pretty depressing. I would go out more but I like staying inside and reading and I sometimes forget about other things.
>>19405165
She makes it so obvious bro, I just do. I'm sure you know what I mean, you can always tell by the way they act. You just know. She doesn't have a lot of other friends as far as I can tell and I might be her only male friend. She is very warm and affectionate towards me and likes to hang around me. I'm kind of afraid that people will start to assume that we're actually dating―extremely undesirable for obvious reasons.
>>19406064
>>19406230
She's not ugly per se, she could definitely be cute I think I could settle for her if I had to, but what can I say? I'm not passionate about her; Girl #2 owns my heart.
I could be with her, hug her, kiss her, make out with her, sleep with her, and do all the things other that men do to women they love, but how could I ever love her when Girl #2 exists?
I'm sure she could make me happy, genuinely happy, but the passion in my heart tells me that there is something better for me--how can I ignore that?
>>19406064
I have to be with her though, I need to try. Isn't settling a concession one makes with age? when time makes it clear that procrastination in one's duty is no longer viable? Why should I settle now?
If she would abuse me and my love, then I could never love her like I do now; I would simply break up with her; but still I say, it is better for me to taste the bitter truth while I'm still young than to crave a sweet fiction for the rest of my life.
>>19406209
Your accusation is too cruel, anon. You would see a sick man writhing in pain and tell him he's faking it. Fuck you. What could I even do to prove to you that I'm serious? To prove that I would gladly accept any blessings fortune sent my way (If only fortune was good enough to grant me her)?
I have to be honest, your dismissal of the sincerity of my convictions have filled me with rage, anon, seething rage.

Thank you, Semen Savant. I don't understand Spanish, but I tried to read these out loud in the best Spanish pronunciation I could muster (don't worry, I can role my Rs at least so I'm not a total anglo retard and I get the basic Latin language pronunciation patterns). Google translate wasn't much help but I pieced the meaning together and I saved these poems. I think I liked >>19406396 the best. Thanks again.
