Anonymous(36-45)+1 yI do not know about you but turning off attraction usually isn’t an easy voluntary decision. Sure you might be jealous and/or heartbroken. You might give up pursuing that person (if your smart). But the physical attraction you felt doesn’t turn off like a light switch.
Maybe it’s different for women but I got a feeling it’s not.
There was a younger girl I had a crush on in my local gym who I met a few months ago. We got into several conversations and one day I asked her if she would like to get breakfast. She smiled but politely told me she had a boyfriend (she never mentioned him earlier). I took it in stride. Said I didn’t know and I wouldn’t ask again (I haven’t). She handled it well so I’m not upset but a bit disappointed. Not her fault.
Well I still run into her. We don’t talk like we used to but I still find her attractive. Won’t try anything but it’s not like that crush dissolved immediately.

Instantly no probably not, but it bleeds out fast. If she wants someone else, there's no reason to pursue.

+1 yOh yeah. It's weird but the moment I find out they're interested in someone else or taken? I back off, lol
Why pursue someone that's got their sights on someone else? You can flirt, tease, sweet talk, even shower them with attention!
But if s/he wants someone else, it's a moot point. So I don't waste my time trying to pursue someone that's unattainable.04 Reply- +1 y

@Monalisa77 Have you asked him how he feels about YOU?
Before you go pursing or getting your hopes up, see if he has any interest in you. Because if he's still hung up on his girlfriend, you don't have a chance. Honestly, if he's with her, happy or not, I'd leave him alone until he's single again- you don't want to be accused of causing him to cheat, or use, an angry girlfriend after you! - +1 y
I've only known him for about two weeks, im only guessing he has a girlfriend he didn't say anything, even if it is someone he's seeing may have just been a recent thing, ill find oyt more on our walk cos its too dark for me to walk on my own in the dark, id never go with someone whos with someone else but how will i ever find anyone or have any experience if i don't keep an open mind

+1 yEm yes. I mean when he likes someone else it is total clear that he doesn't like you. So why to lose your time for no reason...

I don't think that I would lose interest I think it would change my game up a little bit and I would let it be known that I'm a very interested in them now if they already knew that and she started liking somebody else I would just have to accept that and move on

+1 yYears back I liked this girl for awhile and was gradually trying to get to know her well enough to ask out. Ran into her at the club & we talked and flirted I felt it was going well.
My friend walked up & talked briefly to say hello and left. “Omg he's so hot I want to talk to him but I’m too shy.”
I realized she was only talking to me so she could scope out my friend 😑

But I lose interest fast
I can’t cry over someone who doesn’t see me

00 ReplyIts hard to accept, but its pointless devoting time to someone whos not interested in you

Anonymous(45 Plus)+1 yWell it would snap me back into reality. I mean clearly the crush is one sided, ergo pointless. So yeH kinda.

Who’s to say you would be invited or that she would be buried?

I’m intrigued, how will you gain access to her body? You would have to break into the mortuary or funeral home.
Anonymous(18-24)+1 yOf course, if she doesn't have attraction for me then that means we're not going to work out
