Getting over someone...


Question Posted Monday December 6 2010, 2:51 pm

20 female.

So I've always liked my friend Nick. I've known him for 5 years. He used to have a girlfriend for 3 years, I didn't like her at all. She knew that me and Nick were close and didn't like us hanging out all the time and knew that Nick also wanted me. Well they ended up breaking up their senior year and he moved to South Dakota to play hockey. She still goes there to see him all the time even though their "broken up" supposedly. She just wrote on his facebook wall, guess what's in less than two weeks! -he's coming home for the first time it's the only break they have for hockey. Things like that just annoy me.

So I met a new guy, but he's on Nick's team. He's so nice, respectful ..everything you could ask for. He's good friends with Nick though because they're together all the time with hockey. I seen this guy when me and a few friends went to South Dakota to see Nick play. It turns out this guy lives about 20 minutes from me which is even better. I told Nick to hook me up with him and so Nick told him he was going to give me his number. Nick said that the boy was excited to talk to me. So we've been talking for about a month but I just keep thinking about Nick. But I don't want to be in this position anymore, I'm not going to have to worry about his "ex" girlfriend and him always hanging out. Nick hasn't even admitted to liking me, but everyone tells me they can tell and know he does he just can't let go of his ex girlfriend. I don't see this to be fair to me at all which is why I tried moving on. I don't want to mess it up with this guy because of Nick. How can I move on from Nick and focus on this guy?

Additional info, added Monday December 6 2010, 2:54 pm:
Also, I can tell Nick is jealous of me talking to this guy. They had a game in Nebraska and so it was like a 6 hour drive back to South Dakota for them. The guy ended up texting me after their game and we were talking. Well Nick and this guy sit next to each other on the bus and all of a sudden I get a text like "Lets have a threesome with Nick." and I was like Ohhh yeahhh... and he was like whats that mean? And he was like haha it's me Linds. I was like I know Nick I'm not stupid I know you took his phone. And even people who find out that I'm talking to this guy is like "Oooh Nick is going to be jealous.".

Hey there,
I am a bit suprised that Nick got this other guys number for you if he really does like you. Usually a guy would (likely) try to avoid it, but I think he was trying to be a good friend.

I think this guy on Nick's team sounds great for you. If he is everything you say (nice, respectful), then if you get to hang out in person, you will probably find he is so much more than what you think even now. If Nick hasn't shared his feelings with you, then he must not be that interested. You said he is still stuck on his ex, so I wouldn't get too involved with someone who is always thinking of their ex.

As for separating yourself from Nick. You have to erase him from your life as much as possible and only think of guy number 2 (sorry, I wish I knew his name). Delete Nick from your phone, try not to talk to him and if you do run into him just give a casual "hi" to be polite. Take everything that reminds you of him and get rid of it. He sounds immature to ask you for a threesome. Do activities that will make you have to focus on that task alone and go new places with this new guy. The more time you spend with your new guy, discovering new things together, the less your mind will wander to Nick.

You don't have any signs that tell you Nick is actually interested.. I mean from him directly. He must hide it well if he does like you... To move on, you have to tell yourself Nick has nothing to offer except what his friends tell you and then let this new guy into your life. Hanging out with the new guy more will help you realize what you've been missing the whole time <3
