How to get over a guy I never dated?

[Anonymous]

I’ve developed romantic feelings for a male friend and I know he doesn’t like me. But I appreciate our friendship. How can I get over my feelings quickly without ruining our friendship?

Ignore the feelings and just keep on living.


They’ll either go away or they won’t, but that won’t matter if you’re ignoring them anyway.

Let him know you are into him. Then he can reject you properly and you heal the romantic side while remaining friends

😁😁😁😁😁😁dude that's risky for me. I can't even stand a refusal from a sibling and this one. It's gonna be hard

We have risks in life. Do I think that rejection will hurt? For sure. But that emotional pain will heal rather quickly and is better than not being honest and delaying what is inevitable.

I guess but I did mine the other way round

I actually had a crush on this guy at school over two years. We were friends and talk but I kept hmmm until I learnt about his bad side even I killed the feeling without him even knowing because I knew I was definitely not his type

I’m glad that eventually worked out for you. The risk you ran by that decision however is by keeping him as a crush for two years you likely closed your heart off to the possibility of finding someone else, certainly there are trade offs both ways.. just saying we only live once and to put your love life on hold for two years is a big penalty. Now if you did indeed date others while still having a crush on him then I’m wrong.

Actually I stopped crushing on after some incident but I was indeed risking crushing on him for two years

You should consider seeing a therapist.
