Hypothetically speaking, what would you do if the person you were in love with literally forgot you existed? Or, what if you remember having a life with this person except it technically never happened for them?

And what if I never find someone I like more?

[ Rather, what if she is never an option for one reason or another? Just the thought of moving on makes him feel like the worst person in the universe. ]

You keep looking. Dude, I've been single for awhile and I've loved a lot of people who haven't loved me back. You get stronger and you keep going. Besides, you only live once. Do it without regretting anything.
