How do you stop caring when you know things aren't going to go anywhere?

Question - (29 January 2011) 3 Answers - (Newest, 30 January 2011)
A female United Kingdom age 30-35, anonymous writes:

I am absolutely smitten with this guy, I rarely see him, maybe once a week, but I feel so attracted to him and although I get asked out very often by guys he is the only one I want as a boyfriend. I thought he liked me too and I thought it was all going to take off after we kissed about a month ago, but nothing has happened since and I feel like I have given him ample opportunities to follow up by asking me out on a date. So I have resigned myself to the fact that it will never happen, but I can't seem to let go. How do you stop thinking about someone you really want? How can you get them off your brain? I was really happy until this happened and I'm tired of thinking about him because I feel it is a waste of energy. Please help.

fi_the_tree agony auntThat is an option yes, but ultimately you more than likely just end up hurting the guy you are with because you won't be over the guy you really like.

Don't be that person, the one who breaks a decent blokes heart, because you're not ready to be with them. It's not nice for him, and it doesn't bode well for you either.

Maybe try and spend time with your family or friends. Take up a new hobby or something. This is what i've been trying to do, but stick at it, it'll take some time.

Hey its me. I wrote the q, its nice to know someone else is going through it too. I just hate this feeling, especially because its for a boy younger than me.

I wonder if its a good idea to distract yourself with another guy to get your mind off the first?
