I'm 17, F. I had a crush on this guy for a few years. A couple of weeks ago I found out he was dating someone else. That news hit me hard, and I haven't bounced back yet.
This guy was on my mind almost every day for a couple of years. I am really shy, and way too scared to start conversation, but as I got to know him a bit better, I learned how to set up situations that would ensure HE would start the conversation. I purposefully walked down hallways I knew he would be in, because I always had his schedule memorized. Now, even though I want to get over my crush, I find myself walking down the same hallways that I know I will see him in.
I don't know how to get over this crush. People have told me to avoid seeing him, and I tried that as best as I could, but my school is so small that I see him all the time anyways, and I seem to subconsciously still gravitate towards him.
Seeing him, especially with his girlfriend, still hits me hard every time. Often enough, it still makes me feel like crying(which is really inconvenient when I am walking through the halls at school).
How do I stop being so upset? How do I get over this crush? I want to not want him anymore....

I totally know how you feel. My crush/friend (or at least I used to have a crush on him) has a girlfriend, and every time I hear him talk about her a little piece inside of me breaks. I don't really remember how or why I got over him, I guess it just happened. Try doing something that will get your mind off of him like a sport, or an activity that you enjoy doing, or even hanging out with your friends. If you're a big music person like I am, try listening to songs that will empower you. Just enjoy the single life tbh! Not everyone sees it, but the single life is waay better!! A motto I sort of live by is "Everything happens for a reason" Maybe someday you'll find someone so much better for you. :) Keep you head up! Life's too short to be worrying about a guy that is a waste of your time
