i have been liking this guy (we can call him R) all throughout my high school career. at first, i thought he was the most annoying person in the world but we were friends sort of. then second semester of freshman year i started to have feelings for him but i couldn't do anything about them because i had a boyfriend. but then my boyfriend and i broke up (he cheated) then some time later word got out that i liked R and R told somebody else that he didn't feel the same way and that person told me. Then for a few months, R started to avoid me and didn't talk to me but then resumed talking to me in march of some time. so then I decided to get over R because he was too conceited and then began liking him again the beginning of my sophomore year. once again word got out that i liked him and he had the same response. but this time, he avoided me for an entire year but for some reason i couldn't stop liking him. (just so you know, both of those years i had been planning to tell him but i wanted to build my confidence to talk to him first. then become his good friend, then tell him.) the summer before junior year, i was gonna ask him to this dance but he got a girlfriend right before school started and i didn't like him. he always seemed to have trouble with his girlfriend. like he would write statuses about it on facebook and come to school all upset and i felt bad about it even though i was trying to not like him. then 2 months after he and his girlfriend broke up for the last time, he told me he wanted my number and he put his own number in my phone. i have been claiming to not like him ever since he got a girlfriend but i honestly don't know how i feel. now in my senior year, he's starting to joke around with me and laugh at my jokes and argue with me as well. i've been telling my friends that i am over him but i get jealous when he flirts with other girls. i can't tell my friends because i feel like they are tired of hearing it so i'm telling you guys. i'm tired of lying to myself and i want to either tell him how i feel or get over him. what should i do? if you say i should get over him, how would i get over a guy?

Thats why he continues to have nothing to do with you when he hears about how you feel for him. So chances are, he doesn't like you; and he is going to continue to ignore you and such if you were to tell him how you feel. What I don't understand is, why he does this? Why can't his just accept the fact that you like him, and be a man about it and resume being just friends; instead of ignoring you for a period of time, and than being your friend after a couple of month, to a year?
You need to get over this boy. You've wasted enough time on him. Getting over someone isn't easy, especially when you've been crushing for that long. You juat have to believe that its time to get over him; and that the feelings you have for him aren't goin anywhere and you can actually use those feelings toward someone who really likes, and cares about you. You have to realize that its never going to happen between you too. Thinking this way, should make 'the getting over him' process a little bit easier. Try talking to other guys, and see how that goes.
Thats really all you can do for getting over someone, except for keeping yourself busy! I know it sucks to not be able to talk to your friends because they seem to get sick of hearing it every day; but your right, thats what we are for!
