Oddly enough I cannot really say that I ever felt dispair when I was in love with someone who did not love me back. I usually felt quite elated even if I was not loved back and I only felt real despair when people who I loved and had loved me back turned away from me.
But anyway I did not want to say that I don't understand the plot of desperate love. It is immensely attractive and as you know I am a huge Spuffy fan. It's just that I found the idea is less harmless than I thought. I thought people could distinguish between fantasy and reality and usually in reality if you really do not want a relationship with someone, you mean it and it is not strange supernatural obstacles and past murder attempts that keep you appart despite your attraction but actual "do not want".
And I have seen a lot of Warren Mears men, playact the Spike to get there, even though they have a complete and utter disregard for the object of their "affections".
