reader, anonymous, writes (31 March 2007): Well, you don't give much information, anonymous. Was this a person you knew and had a friendship with? Or is it simply someone who is now "out of bounds" for some reason? And why do you feel you must "stop liking" them. I have had long relationships that ended by no wish of mine. But I did not stop loving/liking the person. I realized that we simply were going in different directions. I would have wished otherwise, but you cannot force anyone to be with you. Because you cannot be happy together does not mean you must "dislike" each other. In other words, don't think you have to end all your feelings for someone because you are not "together". You will have many friendships in your life. Some will be very special. Remember them. It means you are a human being who is able to love others. And someday, you will find that one that is just for you. Keep believing that. Luvs, Tom

I think this differs from person to person. But I know out of sight out mind does'nt always work. The thing to do as I have been told is to just get on with your life. Look at yourself, rather than that someone else all the time. Put the focus back into your life. Falling out of love is not easy and will take time, maybe longer than you want to think. But time is a great healer sometimes.

Falling out of love is hard, I've watched many people go through it and have myself. The best thing to do is tell yourself for whatever reason they arn't worth your love. Don't see them, don't contact them because if you do it won't help you move on. Don't dwell on the past and the great times you've had together. Its the past and there's bound to be something greater for you in the future. And remember, it takes time!

You've heard the expression "out of sight, out of mind"? That's the best way to stop loving someone. Get the person out of your life and out of your mind. Start focusing on other things. Do things with friends and meet new people. In time, you'll forget all about them.
Good luck!
