How do you move on from someone that you want but who doesn’t want you or love you in the same way?

Question

You make some hard choices, distance yourself from them. Stop whatever relationship you have with them.

Ofc you tell them if need be, that you don't feel good about the way things are and that you've made up your mind about moving on.
So you cut all connection, cry about it and make sure that you've gone through all the emotions and talked (ventilated your thoughts) to your friends (if you have those types or if you'd rather lean on family).

You make sure to put all doubt about it out of your mind by telling yourself the rational story, that you need someone who wants you in another way and that there's no point in overthinking this because all you can do is meet reality where it's at.

It takes humility.

Often times wanting someone even though they don't want you stems from ego and a lack of self esteem. Like getting that person to want you proves that you are desirable and failing to do so means you are a repulsive person.

You need to live with the fact that people are very different in terms of tastes and types and that your only chance at happiness is finding someone you want who wants you back.

In short: you move on by opening your mind to other options and potential partners.

Create some space between you and him/her so that you can move on from your romantic feelings. Stay busy, and surround yourself with loving, supportive people. It’s going to take time to get over them, just how it took time to fall for them. But you do get through it eventually.

Pinay_ako · Answer

By focusing on someone else or something. Keep myself busy. Cut my losses and move on! Can’t put my life on hold for someone who doesn’t care for me. Bye ✌️

After a year of my feelings for him not being reciprocated, I sat in my backyard for a day crying and finished off a bottle of wine. My feelings for him were gone the next day. I don’t recommend anyone else deals with that problem the way I did, but hey it worked for me.

BlueScorpio · Answer

You let yourself be sad, cry, and let your heart heal until you can get over them. I've had many of unrequited love incidents growing up, it makes you feel like your not good enough to love but eventually you will get back to your regular with time. You just have to yell yourself that personwasnt meant for you for a reason and that God has someone else best suited for you. You can't force or rush love, it has to be natural.

EmbraceThePain · Answer

For me, it's easy to not be involved with someone that I've liked but doesn't like me back. Why? Well, I just feel no more attraction towards her once I realize she's not for me and/or she doesn't like me. I don't remain fixated on someone that is not for me.

itsalyssaagain · Answer

Accept it and focus on something else. I just broke up with my boyfriend for that very reason. It's tough but I just choose to see things with my mind rather than my heart. The truth is he doesn't love me in the way that I love him, nor will he ever. It is what it is and I have to move on. Time heals everything.

magiusX26 · Answer

there is no prescribed path you just do. some things that help are taling your mind off them/the situation with other things such as hobbies, finding other postive relationships such as friends, putting more focus on things like work. all this to distract yourself so that you can get over it with time.

GlassTop · Answer

I’m guessing you were in a relationship with them but they don’t want a serious relationship? Otherwise from what you said it sounds like it’s someone who refused to be with you from the beginning? If it’s the former, most guys make their intentions clear at the beginning. You can’t change a person to love. it would take a lot of convincing.

Anonymous · Answer

Real simple, you accept reality. Then you work on getting over that person and why you're hung up on them. You convince yourself there's no point in harboring feelings towards them as they don't share them with you. Eventually you accept it. And you NEVER let that person in your heart or head again!

putAsmile0nURlips · Answer

You just take the Undeniable hint and walk away... Don't even bother to attempt to get answers. Yea of course it will be absolutely painful and soul crushing but you HAVE TO KEEP WHAT LITLLE SELF RESPECT you have and protect it cause you will need it later...

QuietVerbena · Answer

Force yourself to accept that they only like you as a friend. I’m usually on the other side of that one but I’ve been friendzoned once or twice.

abc3643 · Answer

You don't, exactly. What will happen - if you let it - is that, one day, someone will want you and then it is like the world is new again and the past becomes the past.

Hardworkingguy · Answer

That has already happened to me.. I gave her all I had abd she still didn't love me back. So I left and seeked help from a psychologist, got my attention into something more productive

TheSpaceGnome · Answer

You realize you don't actually want them. Why want a person who doesn't love you?

TroyDT · Answer

For me it's easy. Since I don't want to be with someone who is not into me, I just close that door and open another.

_Roc_ · Answer

It's the way of nature. Sometimes it doesn't go the way we want. Accept the the offer and get release

In_Trance · Answer

I really don't understand why people make things complicated like this. Are you in or out? If you're out, block and move on

Distance and time. You can't move on from someone if you still have them in your life.
