I have no real advice other than I think you just have to let it run it's course. Like a cold, it will go away eventually. Sorry that's not much help, but that's been my experience when I've had crushes in the past, the feelings fade in time... Flowers

Shawnaa I'm just getting over one now. It was horrific. Every sympathy to you. My best advice is to distract yourself as much as possible.

In the same situation Shawnaaa - so if anybody has any advice, I'd be more than greateful - tried to tell myself a million times to stop it and be happy with the friendship, but can't help myself and keep thinking about it!!!!
Why do you think it is not going to happen though?!

shawnaaa · 28/02/2017 22:58

It just wont, we're from two completely different lives in two completely different stages of our lives too. Hes everything id look for in a man but its like the timing is wrong. I kno i should be happy to have him in my life at all and should just take things slow and if things change maybe something may happen years down the line but its sooo hard when hes the first thing i think about when i open my eyes and last thing before i close them at night! Trying my best to put myself off him but nothings working yet... :-/

I know how you feel! It's so so hard, I never knew how much this crap could hurt until recently.

I sometimes just remind myself I'm lucky to have met him at all and being a friend to him I s a great thing too!

Your right, i just feel so frustrated. Only way i can describe it! Like im annoyed with my head for not being able to stop this! Just want to bang it off a wall! (Not literally-but you know what i mean) 🙁😩😔

If it truly can't happen you need to distance yourself to get over it. I had the same thing, he was all I could think about, morning till night. It could not happen and never will. I just had to stop all contact at all for quite some time. We have remained friends, purely on FB and by very very occasional chance encounters but the hugely intense feelings I had are gone now thankfully. It wasn't doing me any good looking back

shawnaaa · 01/03/2017 22:48

Your totally right! Its making it worse seeing him often! Due to circumstances i don't really want to reveal i cant avoid seeing him though. I mean some of the times i see him i dont even talk to him, i avoid it. But those times i seem to come home in a worse frustrated mood than the times we have actually chatted! Maybe i need him to meet someone else!
