Big Girl Panties

I thought it was impossible not to tell when someone is in love with you. I've witnessed a few one-sided crushes that I'd caused, but as a rule, I've always been aware of them, and thought that's how it generally works. Now I feel pretty much like an idiot about it, since, apparently, nothing's further from the truth.

Just how on Earth would a girl get a clue that someone has a crush on her when there are no love vibes, no goofy smiles, tortured sighs or heated glances?

I mean, come on! This is actually hard, especially for someone unaware. And when it eventually comes down to a (probably logical) emotional blow up, it's the crush who ends up hurting someone and being the bad guy.

That's why one-sided crushes suck. You can like someone, even love someone, but if it's not in the way that makes you want to jump their bones and spend the rest of your life with them, it's going to end bad.
