I guess that should be a three-parter. And yes, it's somewhat Pokémon-related
Part 1.
I had a crush on a girl in high school who was also my friend at the time. Since I had no clues on how relationships worked and was extremely shy, I always consulted my friends about what I should do. Eventually she understood what was going on and clearly said that we should stay as friends and nothing more. So, my friends told me not to give up and I continued doing stupid things and giving silly presents to make her like me but, of course, to no avail. I became an obsessive idiot and she hated me with a fiery passion but after a year and a half I decided to stop. Otherwise I would ruin what was left of former friendship and probably my health. In a month or so, I learned how to suppress those feelings and they didn't bother me ever since.
