John I am pretty much in the same boat as you. I have deep feeling for a woman who for whatever reason is unable to return those feelings. My problem is she lives close. I did run into her I wanted to say more then Hi How are you. The conversation was uncomfortable, stilted. A lot of unsaid things just hung in the air. This isa good place to vent to let out some frustration and release some of the hurt. Time will heal and in the mean time I keep looking. I know that there isa woman out there that will feel the same as I do about her. I don't know if you read the thread about woman writing to guys in Prison. it is worth a read . Anyway maybe we should pretend to be in Jail and have women write us? Just a thought.
