It's happened to me quite a few times, especially since I was a kid. Instead of feeling bad about it, I wrote stories and poems about the person, but with them paying attention to me, spending time with me, and loving me. Their names and personalities were tweaked of course, but those experiences filled a void in my mind. Even though Joe Schmo doesn't like me in real life, he married me and now I'm having his child in my story. Maybe not to that extent, but you know what I mean. I would say a good portion of the characters in my works were derived from close people I've met or fancied throughout my life. People who have personalities that stick out and are flexible or physical attributes that get me all flustered...
To answer the question directly, yes I have and it has won me many literary awards, state, and national recognition. I take unfortunate events and make them my opus.

Only once when I was in HS. She was my best friend and I had a major crush on her, but she wouldn't go out with me. At our 20 year reunion I reconnected with her and asked her why. Her reason, we were friends, if we hooked up, then broke up, we wouldn't be friends. She wasn't willing to risk our friendship. We are still friends and I am still in love/lust for her, this after finally hooking up a few times. Can't wait for our next reunion.

Yes in my early school days. I masturbated and fantasised a lot and got over it.

I have but it's one of my biggest secrets....
A lot of people here have answered and described in more ways than one how I felt when this happened to me. I agree. I, too, have been there. Even now, I'm trying to mend my heart and head. I'm a married man. 17 years. My wife have health issues. My Junior wants to exercise in more ways than one. Junior was stood up recently. That hurts. Back to the old playpen. When will man, or woman, ever learn?

Yes I have. I guess college pulled us apart to the point we stopped talking for a reason I still can't figure out. First time I ever felt my heart shatter. That was 6 years ago and I last time I saw her was 5 years ago.
Every once in a great while she would pop into my head. All those feelings would return and I think back on how I could have done something/ anything different and what could have been of us. Than she would fade away until next time.
For the past year I been thinking more of her for some reason. So I decided to look her up and found she's engaged! Do I find her and try talking to her? Does she even want to see me or care? What if she still feels something as well but thought I was gone forever? What if..
Some things just weren't met to be.

Ever fallen in love with someone I cant have, sadly yes.
Its one of the painful thing to feel and yet since love such person,I end up staying by her side , till it hurts no more.
As long as I see her smile and shes okay I try to be cool with it.

Yes, in fact, that situation was probably the way my early love-life would have been characterized.
That was actually the situation between my now girlfriend and I for the first year of our friendship. I was pretty much immediately head over heels for her, but she was in a long distance relationship with her high school boyfriend. We became the best friend each other had within a few months of meeting, then promptly went into an entire school year of "Being in love with your best friend who doesn't love you romantically right this moment because she's still in love with someone else"...which really really really sucked.
But the story has a traditional ending, she broke up with her then boyfriend over the summer and within a week we were a couple (ironically a long distance couple for the first two months until we both got back to school, then our relationship finally resembled something normal).

Most definitely have. Never really got over it.
I just wanted to post something that might help anyone who's posted saying this has happened and it hurt. It's happened to me more than once.
For me, I'm just so happy that such an amazing human being exists. Just because I can't possess or have them, doesn't mean I can't enjoy the love I feel for them any less. If they have a beautiful soul, it's a pleasure just to know them at all and be just a witness to their amazingness in the first place.
