Quote by John Green

You like someone who can't like you back because unrequited love can be survived in a way that once-requited love cannot.

You like someone who can't like you back because unrequited

Summary

This quote suggests that loving someone who doesn't love you back is easier to handle compared to a love that was once mutual but is no longer reciprocated. Unrequited love allows for a sense of hope, as there is still a possibility for the feelings to be reciprocated in the future. On the other hand, when love was once requited and then ends, it becomes much harder to accept and move on since there was already a genuine connection. Unrequited love offers a shield of resilience, providing a chance to overcome and survive the pain more readily than the loss of a once-mutual love.
