I feel so lonely, but I always fall for people who could never love me back.

I'm deeply in love with my best friend whom I've known for almost 14 years, but she doesn't love me the way I love her. I asked her out and we dated for a few months long-distance, but she was going through a poly phase until she accepted an engagement, so I called it off. But while she was engaged, she was committed solely to him. She ended up breaking it off...and went straight into dating again. Not me, though.

I'm madly and wildly in love with my professor, but not only is he in a position of authority but is engaged. I need to get over him, and I'll admit I'm crazily obsessed and afraid I'll be found out. But he's a great fantasy and the idea of him makes me super happy.

I just found out the crush I have on my coworker has a girlfriend.

The other coworker I have a big crush on is madly in love with another coworker (who is married and yet teases the hell out of him and leads him on).

Out of the three classmates I like, one has a girlfriend, one has no interest, and I don't think the other person is the same orientation.

I'm 26 years old and have never dated anyone for more than three months.

I've tried online dating sites but all I've ever gotten was creepers and red flags.

I'm tired of being alone all the time. I'm tired of feeling that no matter how hard I try, I'll spend the rest of my life alone and unloved. I want romance, I want to get married, I want to have children. I feel so undeserving of love, like love is unattainable and not meant for me.

I want to be someone's priority, not someone's second choice because there was nothing better. I want to feel loved.

What do I do? I don't know what to do, but I want love, too.
