October 10, 200817 yr Okay so this is a really wierd topic, but it does have some disscussion value. In reality, I'm asking a question. Does anyone know what the actual term is (I'll do my best to describe it) when someone (person A) means more to someone else (person B) than (person B) means to (person A)? If that makes any sense at all. I'll try an example. I have a friend who told me I'm their best mate, and whilst I was very flattered I didn't say 'Your my best mate' back, because their not. So I mean more to them than they mean to me. I also have it in reverse situations, but I don't really have the time to go into it. So the discussion value... Ever happened to you? But I'm mainly asking, is there a word for it?
October 10, 200817 yr Idk if theres a word, but yeah, I used to be equally befriended with 2 people, but now I'm slowly drifting away from them in terms of likes and dislikes etc, but i don't want to tell him. It is kind of difficult when people ask who your best friend is too.
October 10, 200817 yr Unreciprocated emotion/feelings/love would probably do (unreciprocated essentially means given, but not returned)

October 11, 200817 yr I think that this is a very common thing. To put it in pretty much the same terms as you did, you think someone is your best friend, in fact you are utterly convinced that the relationship is mutual in that regards. Then through some sort of incident you find you that they really couldn't care what happened to you. andufus, may I ask exactly how much you see said person and hang out with him/her? I mean, if you are around this person a lot, I can see why they would think so, if not, then I'm going to be assuming that this person doesn't have very many friends if someone they don't see often would be considered their best friend. There's no such thing as regret. A regret means you are unhappy with the person you are now,and if you're unhappy with the person you are, you change yourself. Thatregret will no longer be a regret, because it will help to form the new,better you. So really, a regret isn't a regret. It's experience.
October 11, 200817 yr I currently feel like this is the case between me and a girl that I'm 'seeing'. :( Tough times don't last. Tough people do.
October 11, 200817 yr This is common in my life. I have a few friends who I like to hang out with, but there are some times where they tell me I am their greatest friend ever, and I can't really lie and say "You are mine, too." Quite an awkward conversation, to be honest. |Signature by Jason321|

I believe Echofish was right with the termonology (sp?) Yeah you can. :P There are several people it happens with, but the two I was talking about... Tom sits next to me in form and is part of my friendship group, so I spend... 1.5 hours with him atleast during school days, and he sits next to me in english so that's another 3 hours a week. The other one is one were I know that he means more to me than I mean to him, and he's actually my form tutor. I see him around 40 minutes a school day, 30 minutes in form and 10 minutes in general just in different bits :P
October 12, 200817 yr Unrequited friendship? Yea, that's it. Yup. I did Sociology GCSE, was a fun class :D
