Hopelessly in love (unrequited) with a guy, that (there is a wonderful quote when Iris is telling Miles what's happened between her.. anyone got it?) keeps her as friends yet tempts her with the occasional word or two that makes her think that he likes her back, him basically having her right where he wants her. A back-up plan so to speak if everything else goes to pot.However, being obviously older than I am, not still in school ( I know what you'll say, but I KNOW i'm in love with this guy, and have been for nearly 2 years now) like me, Iris was able to escape this guy and finally get over him by holiday'ing in America.Anyone got any tips how I can do this? I'm still in school and living with my family.Also, does anyone have the quote from where Iris and Miles are sitting on the sofa just after Miles finds out that his girlfriend is cheating on him??

We seem to have a similar predicament, I too am still in college and he has graduated a few years ago. He is a good deal older. I've felt the same way for the past three years, and when Iris was saying that whole bit in the beginning, I totally related. I actually found your question because I was searching on yahoo for Iris's quote in the beginning. This guy and I have so much in common and we have great conversations and have know eachother for a long time, and it sometimes seems there are signals that he feels the same. But nothing has come of it yet. My suggestion and what I keep telling myself is that you need to just keep yourself open and your mind open to other possibilities too. I know it seems like you will never find anyone this perfect for you, I feel the sam way. But there is someone out there for you and if it's not this guy, you will find him. Patience is the key. Don't shut the door on him, but keep your mind open for other possibilities.

 i went to see that film and its ace, i cant remember the quote tho =( sorry bout that.
i do think however, that u should be like Iris at the end of the film and basically tell the guy to go away!
If your love is unrequited then get yourself away as far as u possibly can even if it is just staying away from him at lunch instead of moving out of the country.
People fall out of love and back into love with a different person and it can happen to u. find a person who u love and who loves u back. Find your Miles and forget your Jasper =)
good luck
