After all my years of existing, I've never really had what some might call a "crush" on somebody. I've never looked at someone and knew that I want to spend the rest of my life with them. But it happened!

(This is going to sound so.. cringe? But I can't help it.)
I recently noticed this person as he walked past me. I had to turn around and look at his back 4 times to confirm that what I just saw is actually real. He looked so unbelievably good. I instantly fell in love. But looks aren't everything, so I, high on the feeling of love, actually went outside of my comfort zone to get his contact details via other people who knew him. I had to ask around a bunch but it was worth it.
I messaged him on a social media platform and it took him days to even accept my friend request. But that's okay, maybe he just doesn't use that app often. We got into talking and had a bunch of conversations and his personality is even better, blah blah blah... Once again I dared to step way outside my comfort zone and asked him if he wanted to meet up with a few mutual friends. TL:DR he accepted the invite, got me way too excited, and MYSTERIOUSLY fell ill on the day before the meetup. I know for a FACT that he was, as confirmed by his friends, NOT sick. Me being there apparently made him feel so uncomfortable that he had to use the lamest excuse. Anyway, I wrote way too much but this is necessary for context.

While high on love for the first time in my life, I stepped out of my comfort zone multiple times. It only took one tiny rejection and I instantly fell down to earth. Looking back, I realize that the only thing I did was weird him out. I mean, he is 100 leagues above me. Every time I daydreamed about him and me, my face ruined it. I just ignored this feeling, as all that mattered was him. Me being in his presence would instantly take down his reputation and social status. I don't want to sound like an edgelord, but it's the truth. I would only cause damage to his precious personality. I feel utterly stupid for even trying to get close to him. I learned that love isn't for me, as I would ruin any romantic relationship with just.. the way I am. I feel horrible knowing that I will never have the relationship I dreamed of.

CTBing is literally my only option, as staying alive for the hope of love isn't an excuse I can use anymore.

I don't know how to express this in a way that doesn't sound harsh, but you don't really know him. It takes months, years, to know someone well enough that you want to try to spend the rest of your life with someone. It's not really about him in particular. It's the idea, the possibility, the fantasy of love that hit you and did all of this to you.

I assure you, you aren't "ugly". Nobody is truly ugly, unless you do ugly things. Physically, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, I'm just a random girl on the internet but trust me, you aren't ugly.

It may not be the case of course, but it might be worth you looking up the term 'limerence'. YouTube has a lot of videos on it. 'The Crappy Childhood Fairy' is very good. I realised later in life that all my (obsessive crushes) earlier on in life were very likely limerence.

It's probably fortunate that I was too shy to act on them. Although, maybe not. I know this must be feeling incredibly painful for you but, you do know where you stand with this guy now. I wasted maybe 13-15 years of my life crushing on guys I had no chance with! It really was kind of ridiculous. It was also a waste of energy and it was extremely painful at times. I'm sure this is feeling very painful for you now but I actually applaud you for taking the initiative with this guy.

Maybe it wasn't right for him but, I don't think what you did was actually too pushy. The invite included other people. Not like you were asking for a date straight off. I don't think this means it will be the same story for all future men.

However, you may be kind of cursed as I am that you tend to fall for looks. I kind of hate myself for that, seeing as I don't have them either and I find it shallow in principle. Still, I guess it's shitty biology doing its thing.
