Unrequited (for at least a while)

I want to see series from the POV of a character who has fallen for someone way out of their league. Who then try to do everything to help their crush -- or their idol, one could even say. 

And ideally, they succeed in helping their crush. But their crush never likes them back. But most series don't agree with this and will requite the love in the end. What are unrequited love fans supposed to do? 

This list is bound to be mostly requited-in-the-end, but the unrequited era should really hit.

Unrequited love starts in high school and continues to college. MC is a loser who sees his crush as a god. Eventually requited, but I would've been just as happy (if not more) otherwise.

This one's interesting in that it's not actually unrequited at all but the chapters where the top realized the bottom was too good for him and that he should leave really hit the same vibe for me.

(S1) King of poker face 4real. Honestly, would've preferred they didn't get together and it had just been unrequited until the end.

Both parties like each other but hide their feelings. Hit hard in the beginning but don't think the resolution was quite that satisfying to me.
