+1 yGreat question, I am literally going through this as we speak.
Well, I met this guy and I fell pretty hard before really getting to know him... I wanted for my friend to set us up but it's been weeks and still nothing. I have started to lose interest, but I think that if I see him soon enough, I'll just go back to liking him like before.
Now, if it's someone I've known for a long time, the same rules apply. While they're away, I miss them at first a lot etc etc, when I don't see them for a long while (like a year or so) I start to lose interest. But if we reconnected I'd start liking him all over again01 Reply
Asker+1 yDid you friend try and make things happen?

Crushes are just crushes. They don't last that long at least in my case anyway. Crushes are usually just a physical attraction. She could develop crushes on other guys in that time period. You may not be the only guy she has a crush on. If you like her, you should let her know and see what that leads to. The crush usually subsides once you get to know the person.

Asker+1 yYeah that's what I'm thinking, bujt I'm pretty sure she's liked me for months. So, yes when I see her next time I will ask her out.
+1 yMost of the time, I hardly ever got to talk to my crushes. So I got over them pretty easy. Happened many a times to me (can't count).
If I had talked to them or interacted with them, then it might take some time to lose interest in my crush. Happened about three times.04 Reply
Asker+1 yThis is reassuring, so glad to see that time is still on my side.

Anonymous(30-35)+1 yIt happens if it only your testosterone which made someone want. Seriously, you may understand it by yourself someday.

Asker+1 yWould you care to elaborate on what you mean? I don't understand.
Opinion Owner+1 yWhen your testosterone level is so high, you may go crazy on the attractive girl you know but it is not the love. It is just the passion. Unlike love, passion fade away over the time when the hormone level get to low which in this case the testosterone. When we talk and see a person regularly our hormone gets up and cause passion. Mistakenly people call that as a crush. When you do not see that particular person for some time, the hormone gets to low so obviously you are going to lose the interest you had on her.
Want to check yourself? Next time you have a crush on a girl and thinking about her a lot, masturbate within short time as many times as you can. After you release all your hormones, think about that girl again. You will be amazed how much you are disinterested about the same girl. Because it just hormones which make you want her not the actual love.
Asker+1 yThat's an interesting few paragraphs, I can see what you mean and I'm definitely going to experiment.
Opinion Owner+1 y:) please do not forget to let me know what happned
The more you talked to your crush, the more unlikely it would be for you to lose interest.

Asker+1 yWe haven't spoken that much because she is dead shy around me, but progress has been made, I'm slowly getting her to be more comfortable around me. It doesn't matter the next time I see her, I'm asking her out, but I probably won't see her for another week or two.
Asker+1 yOh I won't, I don't even care if I get rejected, I just want to ask her out. The last few weeks my head has been in a whirlwind haha!
Asker+1 yYeah man! I just have to ask her, I'll kick myself in the head if I don't. Usually I dread asking a girl out and it's something I really want to do. Thanks for the replies man. :)

Anonymous(45 Plus)+1 yGood question , but mine is from my side! I like someone he likes me back , he was the one to approach me and start everything. We been talking almos 4 months but not we will not see each other for 21/2 months, so i was wondering if he will forget me. Or lost interest. Not on my part i like him very much. And no if you already interact a few times , everything was going fine, then she will not lost interest. Text her once to let her know you thinking on her.

Asker+1 yI don't have her number, I'm hoping to get it when I next see her as I'll be asking her out.
Anonymous(30-35)+1 yI guess it's different for everyone. Personally, I don't EVER get over a crush. If I've ever had a crush on someone, as soon as I see them again no matter how much time has passed I still get a spark of what I used to feel.
As for forgetting about someone, that all depends on if I've found someone new or not.00 Reply392 opinions shared on Dating topic. I think it's harder to forget when the chances of meeting him again are still high... but even when you lose all hope, it probably takes more than a couple of weeks, depending on the person?
I'm under the impression guys forget faster though? =O05 Reply
Asker+1 yIt takes me longer than a few weeks to stop crushing on a girl that I really like.
Asker+1 yAs long as she doesn't lose interest in the next few weeks I'm good, I'm ready to ask her out because for the last few weeks I've been caught in two minds about asking her as she is a shy girl and I don't know how to approach them.
Asker+1 yIt certainly seems that way, but I don't mind, I think it's cute that she's shy around me. You're right, nothing will stop me from asking her out, I'd love to take her out and get to know her better.
Thanks for your replies. :)
+1 ydefinitely not, cause distance makes the heart grow fonder. Especially with girls, in my opinion. When i don't see a crush or hear from him in weeks, it definitely makes me constantly think about that person
00 ReplyIt depends on many factors - how strongly I crush, do we interact with each other during that time.
But it also depends on what I think he thinks about me - if I think he has crush on me too, then I usually don't lose interest.00 Reply- 427 opinions shared on Dating topic.
+1 yThis is a good question. I think if I really like him, my feelings for him wouldn't change just because he needs space or such. Honestly, I would just be kina sad and be hopeful that he calls.

Asker+1 yIt's not that I need space, I just won't see her for reasons outside of my control, but the next time I do see her, I'm asking her out. I was worried that I might have left it too long, she might think I'm not interested and loses interest herself.
Well apparently I'm going through the same thing as you are and I have no idea what's going on. Guys are hard to read

Asker+1 yIt sucks doesn't it, we've just gotta wait and see what happens.
In my case, yes, absence does make the heart grow fonder. I guess I just always want what I can't have.

+1 yDepends on how much I've interacted/known them. The more I've known/interacted with them, then it's likely fade slower. Of course, I can't speak for all girls.

Asker+1 yIn general would it be possible for you to lose interest in a say two weeks?
- +1 y
If I've already talked to him a few times already, I'd probably still like him even after not seeing him for two weeks.
+1 yIf you really like someone, you never forget about him. I wouldn't say it neccesarily makes the heart grow fonder, but it also doesn't make you forget each other.

Asker+1 yIt's weird because the girl in question is always on my mind. It's very rare that this happens to me!
+1 ywell i would be thinking of him every sec of the day. and yes absence does make the heart grow
