7 years ago I met a man at my walking group. He used to watch me from afar but I was not interested. Months later we got talking and something changed and I started to fall for him.

He is the most kindest and caring man I have ever met but he can be very moody. A few years later I confessed my feelings and he had a panic attack and said he may have mislead me. It was clear we just were not compatible.

18 months ago he asked how my dating was going. I asked him and he said it wasn’t going well, it never is with him as he always gets rejected - I think women sense he lacks confidence.

He organised a walk last year and I think he was shocked I went as there was a low turnout and it was quite far away where he lives but I genuinely wanted to go as I haven’t walked much in that area.

He is 12 years older than me so he is 50 now. I still find him handsome and love his empathic qualities. Why is it so hard, we are both empaths but are not compatible. I just wish he would disappear from my mind and wondered how I can forget him, I have been fine till recently. Thanks.

In the end, you are the only one who can control your thoughts OP. Up to you to change them. Memories persist. You can't totally eliminate them so you need to find a way to manage them.

Why did you go for the walk he organized last year if you want to forget him?
He won't commit and you know that. So, what do you want? Stop torturing yourself and stop looking for opportunities to see him.
But we already said that.
Many times.
You just won't listen.

I haven't followed this relationship drama, but my first thought, OP, is that as an empath, this guy probably corded to you. If you really want to stop thinking about him, it might be a good time for a cord-cutting.

Also, not every empath is a nice person.

Either”scratch the itch” or move on. Did you even give dating him a try? Or was it a preconceived notion that is now a self fulfilling prophecy?

Please don't tell me it's this same guy:

He is back in my life - Should I leave? - How can I move on?

If so, you said you went to see a therapist and that you were going to cut him off and move on.

What happened? There really isn't any more 'advice' that can be given since all realistic options were already given to you to resolve this issue.
