I want to GET OVER HIM.


Question Posted Sunday July 8 2007, 11:01 pm

17/f. So there's this guy that I've liked for awhile now, and I just want to get over him. I mean, he's a good guy and all, but I just don't really feel like I have a reason to like him anymore.
This whole summer, I've been making an effort to hang out with him, but we haven't hung out once, so obviously he doesn't like me back.
Whenever we talk online, he talks about himself alot and always takes a long time to respond whenever I'm talking, and sometimes when I talk to him I feel like I don't like him.
I'm probably not going to see him school next year, and I'm sick of being upset that I haven't seen him in a really long time and that he most likely does not feel the same way about me.
So why can't I get over him? Any ideas on how to get over him? =/

Additional info, added Sunday July 8 2007, 11:16 pm:
Oh yeah, and we have so much in common and he's the only guy who's actually really cared about what I've had to say, which makes harder to get over him. But I'm pretty sure he's totally oblivious to that and does not like me more than "friends," and I have alot of good things in my life but I keep focusing on having a boyfriend, which shouldn't be important, but it bothers me so much that he's not my boyfriend! I really just wanna think of him as a friend... ugh, help?.

I think that you don't like him you just want a boyfriend so bad that your telling yourself that you like him. You should slowly stop talking to him. Instead of talking to him every few days. Talk to him once a week and then less and less until hes completely off your mind and then don't talk to him and youll forget about him. Good Luck.

Unrequited "love" stinks. :/

Delete his sn, delete his phone/cell number, and clear him out of your mind. Anything that reminds you of him, get rid of if possible. Keep on focusing on his negative traits. Repeat them like a mantra. Zero in on them so much that you get sick of them. He obviously does not want to spend time with you- he's uninterested in that way. He doesn't reciprocate your feelings. Frankly, he's not worth your time. You say "he's the only guy who's actually really cared about what I've had to say" but that also "Whenever we talk online, he talks about himself alot and always takes a long time to respond whenever I'm talking, and sometimes when I talk to him I feel like I don't like him." I think he likes that you listen to him. The two statements sort of contradict each other. Do you guys talk better offline? Love is a two-way street. In any case, I hope you find someone soon that cares about you as much as you care about him. You'll find someone even better and has things in common with you. Meet new people! Happy searching!

Some guys are like that, they are soo slow, and also oblivious to the fact that someone likes them. He could still like you, especially if he cares about what you have to say. But .. he's not the only guy who cares what you have to say. I know there are more guys. Its hard to get over someone I know, because I'm almost in the same boat you are. But the thing is, don't waste your energy over someone who wont waste their energy on you either. Soooner or later a guy who will be begging you for YOUR time will come a long, and this will all seem so silly. Just focus on the main things in life, you dont need a guy to make you happy, I'm sure you already know that.
But if you put your effort into hangingout with him and he still doesnt want to. Theres not a lto you can do.

God Bless.<33

The only way you will even have a chance of getting over him is if you just stop talking to him pretty much.You have to keep doing things to keep him out of your mind and keep remembering why your trying to get over him, that way, it will be easier to get him out of your mind.It may be hard, But it will be worth it once you do get over him.You will find that guys aren't always the key to being happy.You don't always have to have a boyfriend in order to be "cool" or "happy". Just have fun and do your thing.Don't worry about guys right now.Hope I helped. :]
