I’ve liked a girl for 3 years and she still doesn’t like me, what do I do?

There’s this girl that I’ve liked for 3 years. I’m only 14, and most people don’t even want to help me because they say that I am too young to know what love is. But I have liked this girl for longer than some people stay married. Most people who try and help tell me to get over her. That is really hard to do, because I feel like my life revolves around her. Last time I tried to stop loving her, the doctor said I was so stressed out that I gave myself irritable bowel syndrome! Not to mention, every time I try to stop loving her, she acts all nice to me, but when I admit that I still like her, she is really mean. Now 2 of my friends like her too, but they just like her cuz she is hot, and I can never even talk to her because of them. Please help me, my life is falling apart.

I updated the tags associated with your question. I think you’ll find some of the new suggested links to be useful.

On a personal note let me say that I feel for you. Unrequited love truly is lonely and painful. All I can say is that I’ve been there myself twice in my life. And each time, it literally took years for me to get to a point where I could finally go an entire day without thinking about them. That said, you definitely need to move on. And I say that knowing how hard that can be. But the first step is definitely making your heart available to other girls who can be more generous and consistent with their feelings. They exist! So go find them by putting yourself in situations where you can hang out and interact with other girls. Maybe a school club of some sort is a good place to start.

Saddly, this is one of those situations that drive home the lesson that you can never MAKE somebody love you. No matter how pure or true your heart is.

Don’t backslide and put your hopes on this girl anymore. It will help if you keep reminding yourself that even after confessing your feelings for this girl, she never responded in kind. True, this girl may like you. In fact, I bet that she’s genuinely flattered by your attention. But she does not love you. What’s going on is that she enjoys your worship so much, she doesn’t want to lose that feeling of being wanted. That’s why she suddenly is nice to you whenever you try to pull away from her. But again, this is not the same thing as her “seeing the light” and falling for you. So move on. Broken hearts are never fun, but you will get over her. More importantly, some day you definitely will a new girl to love that will return that love in equal measure.

Many people, including myself can say we have all been there. Under “quotes”, you wrote “someone had to dig the hole I’m in.” My young friend, if you find yourself in a hole, stop digging. I know, I know. Easier said than done. After you stop digging, you climb out of it.
The act of loving, that is ‘true love’ means expecting nothing in return. If you really love her, there will be no conditions (that means you don’t expect for her to love you back.) Who says you should stop loving her? You shouldn’t. But you should stop expecting that since you love her, she should love you back. True love is giving, not taking. So you must give her the options to choose. Choose to be with you, or someone else, or even no one at all for that matter.
I agree with cmtheisen. You sound like one cool guy; compassionate, gentle and incredibly special. Someone will come along who will make this girl look plain. You must be patient but also be available. Best regards.
