  • Hi this is Tutor Nick P and this is Noun Phrase 106. The noun phrase today is

  • unrequited love. Okay. Let's take a look at the note here. Unrequited love is a

  • case when one person truly does love another person, especially in a romantic

  • way. So, so we don't use this like usually with a family relationship. We

  • usually use this about romantic relationships. But the other person does

  • not reciprocate or truly give their love in return. You know when you reciprocate

  • whatever somebody does to you, you do back to them. So they don't really give

  • their love and return. So one person just loves the other person a lot. Okay. Let's

  • go on. Unrequited by itself. So if you separated this word by itself , means not

  • returned or repaid. So they're not returning the love. They're not repaying

  • the love. The origin goes back to the 1500s and in fact was used with money to

  • begin with. So I guess if you gave or you lent somebody money, they were

  • supposed to return it back to you. I guess it could be an unrequited loan. I

  • don't know but that's how it originally started. But now, nowadays it's mostly

  • used for unrequited love. Okay. Unrequited love is a one-sided relationship. You may

  • or may not have had sexual encounters with that person, Yeah. I mean it's

  • possible you know, maybe that person is just kind of using you for a good time.

  • But not really have really strong feelings of love for you. You know, and

  • like I said maybe, maybe taking advantage of you or taking advantage of your

  • feelings. That could be one-sided too. Or maybe you ...maybe you've never had you

  • know, any sexual relations with that person too, but you still have that deep

  • love for them. Both could be unrequited love. But either way it is clear the

  • other person does not have the same deep feelings for you or for the person

  • loves them. Okay. All right. Yeah. I remember this, this, this topic was talked

  • a lot about in a movie that's it's over ten years old now. But well let's look at

  • the note here. In a movie called "Holiday" Yeah. It was meant to be comedy. Kate

  • Winslet and remember the actress that was also in the" Titanic" and I think

  • Cameron Diaz was in this too. They trade each other's houses for a

  • holiday. I don't know if that it works out very well in real life, but in the

  • movie this is what they did. And of course a comedy and luckily in the end

  • you know, like most comedies Kate Winslet does find real love with a guy and I

  • think the actor Jack Black played the character. But he does give love and

  • return. But at the whole beginning of the movie It's about her other relationship

  • where you know , she loved this guy for, for years and it's really a case of

  • unrequited love. But anyway, her character in the movie

  • had this quote and here's the quote here. "Most love stories are about people who

  • fall in love with each other what about the rest of us ? What about our stories ?

  • Those who fall in love alone. " So that kind of says it all. When you're talking about

  • unrequited love. Okay. And just a couple of examples that we, the way you might

  • hear it used. Don't get trapped in a relationship of unrequited love. It will

  • only break your heart. Or you know lead to a heartache or

  • something like that. Or the second one here. That article lists all the signs of

  • unrequited love. Yeah. If you start looking up unrequited love you know,

  • online or something like that. You know, just like there's a lot of magazines

  • that say you know these are, these are the clear signs that you're in this type

  • of relationship. Or you know unrequited love. So that's just the way you may see

  • it used. Anyway I hope you got it. I hope it is informative. I hope you enjoyed it. Thank

  • you for your time. Bye-bye.
