I've liked him for a year, but hes a jerk what do i do?
Question Posted Tuesday June 9 2009, 1:02 am
So Jake and I went out last summer for about 4 months. I really liked him alot. I came really close to falling in love with him. The only thing wrong with him was that he could be really mean sometimes. He'd say things like "I didn't hang out with you because my best friend couldnt go, so its not worth it" and "amy stop being so loud and annoying". In spite of his attitude, i still had strong feelings for him.
Then he started getting distant from me. and later broke up with me for my best friend. I mean i was mad and didnt talk to either of them for about 3 months. but we were able to be friends again later..but Jake started flirting with me while him and Lauren were still going out.
They broke up and he came back to me. for like a week, but then told me that i was more like a sister to him. so we stopped seeing eachother, yet again.
Now i have tried to get over him ever since we broke up last year. I tried forcing myself to be mad at him, and not speak to him or about for months at a time. but i just cant do it. my fiends obviously dont approve of him, and tell me.."Amy, just get over him."..honestly i wish it were that easy.
Jake doesnt want a relationship, which is understandable considering we are still in highschool. So hes with more than one girl at a time. but all of these girls just want some hah.
i dont know. Jake is all i can ever thing about. and i get butterflies whenever i see him, or talk to him. and dipite everything hes done to me, i still have strong feelings for him...and i need to know what it means, and what i should do.
i know this was really long..but thanks for the advice! (:

I understand totally how you feel trust me,
every girl has that one guy who can treat her like crap and act like a jerk to her but who she will still reallyyyy like trust me I have mine heh.
Its like when they are being nice and sweet to you,you forget about all the times they acted like jerks and treated you bad.
this feeling will eventually pass,its never easy and theres days when you feel like crap and you have an actual pain in your chest thinking about them(well for me)
but you need to get over him and you will,time is the trick there will come a day when you will look at him and just feel nothing i know its hard to believe now but trust me it will come.
what you need to do is everytime you think about him is to distract yourself,listen to music go out with your friends go shopping etc.
if he texts you(im not sure if he does but anyway) and you get that feeling where you really want to reply but at the same time you dont,Just dont let yourself give in think about all the times he was a jerk and play him at his own game,if you do text back be really short and end the convirsation after a while.
honestly the trick in all theese situations is time and distraction from the guy dont even allow him to get you down go out enjoy yourself and have fun and youl find someone 100times better who you deserve and will treat you better and jake will be just a distant memory
sorry I couldnt be of more help but this is what has worked for me!
hope it does for you too good luck =)

You're in high school right now, and there's no reason for you to waste your time thinking about a guy who you've described as nothing more than a jerk.
