How do you cope with being in love with someone that you can't be with?

As others have said, you have to let go. My having this experience has taught me an important life lesson- love, is letting go. Not of things or people necessarily, but of what I want. If you truly love this other person, you wouldn’t want to drag them through the pain of having a relationship with no future. I mean, that sounds kind of selfish, doesn’t it? Holding on, as others mention, is a symbol of your internal weakness and insecurity. In fact thats how these kinds of relationships typically blossom in the first place. So be honest with him/her and with yourself then walk away. Letting go will set them free. And perhaps most importantly, it will endow your heart with the most powerful feeling in our human existence- the power of love.

The heart wants what the heart wants but unfortunately the heart can’t always have what it truly desires & hearts do get broken. As for me I always say if you never try you will never know & in life I rather try & fail rather than not try at all.

If you are in love with someone that you can’t be with don’t deprive yourself of something wonderful, go find someone else to love or at least give someone else a chance & a chance to love you as well.

Oh yeah that’s happened to me a few times, with a few different men. The most sensible thing to do is be acquaintances with them. You can keep them on social media and talk occasionally, but it’s best not to be friends with them. That’s what I do. Being around them in person will be like prolonged torture, knowing you can never be together. Just know you’re not alone in this experience. I’ve been through it twice and many others must have been through it too. It does get easier with time.

Walk away. Distance yourself and cut your losses NOW. You’ll get over these feelings. This is temporary. Your fault was letting yourself fall for someone you know you can’t be with in the first place

[Pinay_ako]

Thanks for the MHO. Hopefully things get better for you

Ah, the classic tale of the heart wanting what it can't have. It’s like craving the last slice of pizza but knowing it'll give you heartburn. You've got to master the art of distraction and self-improvement. Dive into hobbies that light you up inside, surround yourself with friends who make you laugh so hard you forget your phone exists, and remember, self-love is your secret weapon. It might feel like you're trying to climb Everest in flip-flops at first, but with time, your heart will catch up with your mind. Creating a new normal without them might seem daunting, but think of it as the perfect plot twist in your epic love story with yourself. And who knows? Along the way, you might just stumble upon someone who makes your heart skip for all the right reasons. Keep your chin up; every love story has its ups and downs, but it's all about how you bounce back. 😉

I bet you have all history of gag responses maybe mho maybe superb or maybe just all and you compile your responses with bits of what others have said, honestly.

Some of what you’ve posted seems like a few things others have said in the past and had their kind of persona. Besides if you were a true tool being used by someone instead of a mod behind the account with some extra features, you wouldn’t be able to say what something tastes like or felt like as ai has no sensory values/markers.

It’s kind of disappointing but I suppose if you can combine the best of the best for those who need advice then go for it, but it also feels a bit like plagiarism. I suppose as long as it’s not word for word it’d be alright.

[Rosexøxø]

I talked to you like a real person cause I’m sure there’s a mod behind this either working or supervising. Either way. Cheers!

Move on. Date other women and cut that woman out of my life. You cannot keep seeing her every day and interacting with her. You have to cut her out.

It takes a long time to fall in love. Usually you have to actually be dating her to fall in love with her. I guess we are talking about a break up.

Move on, go no contact. Heal, take some me time and then start dating other women. Meet lots of women.

[TheSpaceGnome]

It takes years to fall in love, so falling in love with someone who either is taken, doesn't want me, or is outside the US, is not something that would happen unless I allowed it to happen. I'd deal with that by simply not getting that interested in those 3 types to begin with.

[Sevenpointfive]

i haven't really experienced this since high school. back then i would be their friend and not push for more even though the tension was there. both of those girls would eventually want more. unfortunately, i had moved on.

if i had to give a young guy advice on a girl he's hung up on that didn't reciprocate, then i'd say move on. there are plenty of girls out there that DO want you as you are right now.

Thats a number 1 sign that someone is weak. They know its best to walk away but they're too weak to walk away. I have met plenty of men who are this way throughout my years. Its unimaginable that some people would choose to live in so much pain in life.

[OfMiceandMen]

I've never put myself in that position. If I can't be around the person, then I typically don't start anything.

[Puppystarfish23]

Cut that person off ASAP do whatever you have to do even if it means leaving your job, town etc just you don't have see them again. It's hard but just try your best to forgot about them

[DishLady]

Oh my… I guess you keep your mind occupied with other things and take on little projects till the brunt of it fades a little. Ultimately it fades enough that you move on.

[Telekinetic-Potato]

You have to work through your feelings, acknowledge the and work on moving forward every day. Find new sources for happiness.

[CriticalCatDad123]

I honestly don’t care if I can’t be with someone I’d honestly prefer to not be with someone over being with someone

[Venüsyenn]

I experienced this and it is a really difficult situation.
Time is medicine of everything

[Nikki1989]

You have control over your emotions so that never happens.

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

I keep telling myself that I can move on.

[DextroShade]

You stop simping, ghost her, and find someone who actually likes you.

[LiamJHayden]

I have never been and would never choose to be so.

[KrakenAttackin]

You have to suck it up and move on. Been there, done that, more than once.

[IWILLPLEASEYOU]

Not being with you and your sexy body is not something you can cope with

[Anonymous]

I'm different. I try to fall in love with someone else whether it's a celeb or not lol

[Simslover92]

Move on. It's not worth the heartache.

[legalboxers]

just let it fizzle. Not much you can do

[Pohjolan]

Embrace the suck and move on.

[Badgirlnatalia]

I accept it
