love???

Was listening to a frns story and was just confused.......is it love?

She loved a guy but was too shy to tell it out...so she left it to him to understand.....well guy was also too shy.....well time passed...they were parted......she kept in touch.....one day she came to know tat guy proposed some girl........she was hurt...broken ....n decided tat she will never bother for nythin like this again through out her life......time passed.....the pain healed but the fear remained, fear of not being luved back.....she used to hav crushes but was afraid of even liking nybody....one day some friend of her told her bout a guy who luved her...her first impulse was NO then she thought she was giving somebody wat she was afraid of recieving...and she thought its better to b wid somebody who luvs u then trying to be wid somebody whome just u luv......she thought...and ended up with a YES.....with time she realised that even for the guy it was same.....he luved her coz he thought girl luved her........and she was utterly confused.......things which were so clear and easy all of a sudden became complex.......she didnt know wat to do? even if she was suppose to do nything......she tried to forget the past and believed that whatever... now he loves me.......poor her one day she discovered that after getting along with her, round after 6 monthe that guy had met a girl and she was his first crush........she was confused if tat guy luvs her?....weli she wanted to just be alone and be as she was.....but that guy wont agree......she dosent wants to be with him if he dosent loves her but she dosent wants to hurt him also.......is she in luv with him? or all this is just a compromise of her heart afraid of rejection? does that guy luvs her? Or is he just afraid of being left alone?
