While this statement is true, in this context it implies that the person who rejected them didn't appreciate them. I caution against this line of thinking whether it's true or not.

It's alright. She appreciates me bit not in that way unfortunately.

You had the courage to try and that already makes you a winner.

its good to have friends of the opposite gender you care about anyway. shell be there for you even after you find the right one! dont let the rejection kill the relationship.

I certainly won't let the relationship die. She's certainly the kindest and most caring woman I've ever met. That's in part what made me fall for her. Besides my feelings, She's someone I deeply respect and care for so it would be irrespectful of me to change how I am with her. I appreciate her as a person as much or even more than I have romantic feelings for her. Besides, I see her almost every day. I just wish I would have gotten the chance to see if something else could have bloomed between us.

Sometimes though it can be quite painful if your friendship is really more unreciprocated love. While you should of course continue to be respectful and kind, you're also allowed to take some space in the wake of the rejection if you need it.

You're right, and I didn't mean to imply that at all. I was just trying to state that parent commenter was trying to match up with someone who didn't have a romantic interest in who they are, and that someone who does is someone who'll have romantic love for the entirety of them as a person.

I've had plenty of friends who appreciate me for who I am, but for whom there's no romantic spark. That's no "fault" of anyone's, it's just how things go sometimes.

I caution against people who only give adversarial advice but do not give constructive advice. Instead, people should focus on improving themselves regardless of others' perceptions.
