How long does it take you to get over someone you had a crush on?
Depends on how strong the feelings were. There have been a few guys that I was crushing on then things just didn't work out. Those generally took about a week. But there is a guy I went elementary school with and never told him my feelings. We went to different middle schools so I thought I was over him until we went to the same high school and my feelings were stronger than ever but he was dating someone. I think I will always have feelings for him. He was my first crush and I will never forget him :)
Never did tell him my feelings though.

I've had a crush on a particular boy for seven years now and I just don't know how to approach him. I have a family friend who has connections to a lot of people who know him, but I don't know how to just come out and ask her without feeling awkward. It would be a lot easier to get over him if he were to come up to me and give me closure, but I don't think he really knows me or remembers me. I would really love to meet up with him and tell him how I finally feel, (given he doesn't already have a girlfriend), only I don't know how. Bummer.

Depends on the relationship we had together. If it was just infatuation, then what comes easily fades away easily. But if it was true love on my side..that would never fade away. Sure I'll go to job, live my life to the fullest but will always be a scar inside :)

Depends on the severity of the crush, I'm 4 and a half years down the line and counting.

its just a crush! Like Charlotte said on Sex and the city...take the whole time you two spent dating and divide that in half. That should be enough time to get over someone. Once the first week of tears and ice cream are done, its time to focus on you and things get better.

I think you are able to get over a crush and move on, within a year, but, I think there may be a few crushes that you may never completely get over.. yes, you moved on but you still always check up on them, and wonder about them.. but on average.. I wld say first year..

Well, I'm the type of girl that has an off again-on again crush. It's a nasty habit, yes. Even the other day I stopped crushing on one guy to go for another guy, now I'm crushing on the old guy again. But in some cases, it can go for a while. I remember a guy from my childhood I stopped liking for a year, than I liked him again.

Depending on how big the crush was and if you ever had a former relationship even just as friends it makes it hard to forget them. I will never forget my former crushes. They have a spot in my heart and always will. There is something about the person you keep in your heart that you wish you could have all the time.
I will never forget my two biggest crushes that I was friends with before me and my current boyfriend started dating. - Anonymous(30-35)
Some people I just can't get over. I'm in a relationship for over 3 years, but I still care about the people I had crushes on. I would never cheat on my boyfriend if I was given the chance with the former crushes, but it's just past feelings that I have and can't get rid of.
-
I think it depends on the crush, like, how long have you known him? Do you guys get along? Are you best friends? How long have you had on crush on him? It all depends (:
Depends how long I liked him/ how much I like him. Generally I like him a few months then I stop and I'm good in a few months. If I liked him for a long time or had really really stong feelings it will take a while to heal
-
it depends on how long I've had a crush on that person
it could vary for me and for anyone really.
it really depends on how much you cared and thought about that person. well I get over them pretty fast, once I see things aren't going anywhere or I find out his my type then I pretty much get over them. Depends how fast I realize he's not for me, maybe a month or two maybe less maybe more! :D jajaja
Once you know there is no chance with them or they aren't interested, maybe a week or two tops. Cut all communication/interaction with this person and find somebody else to focus your attention on.
-
Usually, it doesn't take me long. If they are interested then they weren't worth liking. haha.
About 1-3 months...depending if I stay in contact or not. -
Bad thing is it's been two years and a half and still every time I see him, I remember everything. It kinda sucks because he doesn't seem to be over it either.

Tolstoy said it best, you either love someone forever or you never loved them at all.
I normally try to get over the crush if I find out they have no feelings for me.
My answer was 1 to 2 years but really I get over them as soon as I don't have to see them anymore.
Maybe a week or so, I don't get attached easily anymore
-
my answer was one to two years but its been that long and even tho I don't want to I still find myself trying to impress him..

If I still see them from time to time it could take a long while but If I don't then a couple of months before I stop thinking of them altogether. Or if I meet someone I end up liking more.
-
A crush...yeah..that doesn't sound that serious.
I would need 3 months tops... -
In order for me to fully, completely over a guy, it takes a long time.
