How do I move on from someone I have no chance with?

So unfortunately I've developed feelings for someone who I have no chance of ever being with because he's out of my league and he has feelings for someone else. How do I move on please?

Time, cutting contact with him (including blocking on social media) seeing other people, getting on with your life xx

Sorry for drip feeding but he's currently homeless. I go and take things to him and his dog. I'd feel so guilty withdrawing help and just blanking him in the street. Xx

Sorry OP I'm going to sound like a massive bitch snob but why is a homeless guy 'out of your league'? Surely if anything it should be the other way round?
Do you have very low self esteem?

@DearTeddyRobinson I was going to ask the very same thing

user128057 · 11/02/2018 21:38

Because he's good looking (I'm definitely not), he's just a genuinely kind and nice person. He's intelligent and clever. I have none of those things.

Ummm...do you have a home? A job? Friends and family? Money? An ability to function?

The way somebody looks doesn't give social status alone? Your self esteem must be on the floor.

Do you actually know this man? You can't tell someone's character as easily as that, you know.

I agree with the above, how can he be out of your league? If he’s that intellagent why is he homeless? (I know it’s possible for anyone to be homeless), at the moment he’s probably not that atractive to anyone, he hasn’t got much going for him has he?

Sounds like you have self esteem issues, I suggest breaking contact with him, stop helping him and start helping yourself to feel better about yourself.

He’s good looking and clever but homeless and presumably unemployed. Who does he have feelings for?

I read a story today about a woman in Amsterdam who fell in a love with a homeless man, she ended up marrying him and having children.
