I'm a 20 year old. I come here to seek guidance. Like most other youngsters I too nursed a desire to be involved in a romantic relationship. I realise that it's looked down upon here. But I'd like to be honest. I got infatuated with a girl in my class. I asked her out. I was so emotionally invested that I became needy and she chose to leave me. It's been 8 months and I still am not over it.

Since we're in the same class we meet often. In her presence I lose my life energy. And it turns out that my close friend who is also a classmate is liked by that girl. I blame no one. We hardly have control over how we feel for someone. But it still hurts. Due to my poor handling of the situation the class got to know. I lost my reputation and became a plaything. And I'm scared. I really am.
