Even though you’re now a happily married middle-aged man, there is a teenage lovelorn boy inside you. Be kind to him
The questions Just over 20 years ago, I fell truly and madly for a girl, N. We circled around each other for a summer, but never got together. We did acknowledge our attraction, but were both due to start university. After a kiss, we agreed it was bad timing. Out of fear of rejection, I never told her how deep my feelings went.
We saw each other on university holidays, and an affinity remained, however she quickly appeared to move on. I pined for her deeply. No one I met compared. Long sessions of listening-to-depressing-love-songs-type stuff.
