How to Deal With Unrequited Love

Video Transcript

"The book, and later movie, called Geisha Girl was a very excellent concept on how to deal with unrequited love. So how do we deal with unrequited love? This is Dr. Paul, author of Boomer Girls: A Boomer Woman's Guide to Men and Dating and host of Ask Dr. Paul. How often has that person looked at the object of their affection and just could not bring themselves to communicate how they feel. The best way to deal with unrequited love is to communicate. And if you watched the movie I mentioned or read the book, you'll find that her feeling for this person was long-term, and finally it evolved to the point where she felt comfortable in letting him know. And he felt the same way. And I don't want to give the ending away, but at the same time, it was a happy ending. And that's what you want is a happy ending. The way to work with that is simply to do it in one way. And that is to communicate, communicate, communicate. If you fail to do that, you are going to be languishing for a long time. This is Dr. Paul. May your fantasies of today be your realties of tomorrow."
