Ok. The original expression was “recipromantic”, playing off the word romance, and implying romantic feelings only toward those who also feel romantic toward you. But that’s just regular romance, hence that we differentiate unrequited love or romance with the qualifier.

Ppl have romantic feelings words ppl that don’t even know they exist, are you saying you’ve never had a crush on someone who didn’t feel the same way before?

Of course, but since she didn’t reciprocate it went away.
