I want to be liked BACK.

It's not that I want someone to like me. I'm a somewhat likeable person, and in the span of my adolescent life I had about 7 people confess they liked me, all of whom I didn't reciprocate.

I want someone that I LIKE to like me BACK. It's either someone I don't like that likes me or no one at all, and they're always my friends because they get to know me and stuff. But anyone I'm interested in doesn't want to get to know me. I feel like I'm in limbo.

I don't want to settle just to be in a relationship, but I've always been single and relationships look so cute and sweet and nice. I mean I want that. But I don't want to "settle" for someone whom I don't like because I don't think anyone I'm interested in will like me back.

Ughhh.
