Thank you srjth. I think I am hold on to hope, that's why. Consciously I said I don't, but deep down, there's a part that hopes he'll call, that there will be something out of this eventually. You are right, I should just be strong and not hope anymore. Thank you!

In that case, jumping someone else's bones may help you forget him...but will you then fall in love with them?

Ask yourself: am I picking unavailable men? Why?

You may be doing it, subconsciously, on purpose.

What's the payoff for you?

Hey, I'm in a similar boat. I hate when that happens. I try not to have a crush on someone. But sometimes, you just can't help it. Especially when that person goes out of the way for you. (in my case)

She has the prettiest face I ever seen. I try to manage my feelings whenever I'm around her. (Try not to be needy, I try to interact more from a stand point of giving to her as opposed to getting something from her, I know it doesn't make sense, but I'm a wreck and I'm okay with that)

Given my mindset, I normally would have been like, "She wouldn't give me a second look." And yet here I am spending 10 full minutes with her in a little interaction which she initiated.

Here's how it works for me. I see beauty, I decide to just go on with my business to not even entertain the thought of even seeing her again. She breaks the ice. I'm thinking "Okay, she's sweet."

She escalates it a little, I'm thinking, "Get that idea out of your head!!!" It goes to the next level and I'm like, "Okay, that did it, I have a crush!"

I'm pretty sure we're just friends. I'd be happy with a close friendship. There are other women...

I'm not, Dr.Phil.

This reply is mostly to the title of the thread, and not so much the different scenario posted by the OP.

Ive been there, and have done that, and it's nothing short of a pure, insufferable hell...Perhaps most of it is self-induced? I don't know.

Objectively speaking no one should pine away for someone who is unavailable to them (either b/c that person has a boyfriend/girlfriend, is married, etc) b/c it's a waste of time. But the heart...it never knows logic or reasoning, does it? It definitely is a difficult position to be in. But know that it's a position you don't have to be in. I've learned that it's one day at a time...even if it's me walking with a limp.

It sucks though, big time! Especially if the crush isn't crushing back, or even worse, is sending mixed signals.

No need to quit doing what you are doing if you really want to choose to waste your life and love on someone who is clearly not available nor interested.

Carry on.........

PS: NO ONE is out of anyone's league unless of course you are playing in a minor league baseball team but have the talent to be in a major league baseball team......

Time heals all wounds.

I don't think you can get over certain people even if you want to. You just have to let your emotions run their course. Hopefully meet somebody who shares your feelings. Just have to face that there are certain people you will always love/like/admire/crush on, etc..

I agree, but if a person really wants you they will put forth effort to make it happen.
