Searched for a subject like this, didn't come up, if there's something similar I apologise.
So here's the thang. How do you get over a crush? Imagine this:


You have a huge crush on this person that's been going on for a long time and they don't like you back - there's never been a clear statement sayin' "I don't like you" and they act all nice with ya, but it's quite clear they're not interested in you that way.
However, because of the fact that the negative statement does not exist you simply can't move on (and nope, you can't ask them that simple question - Wanna be my boy/girl? because of many reasons)
Cutting them out of your life isn't an option (say it's someone who lives in your building). What do you do to get over them and is it possible? Better yet, how do ya make yourself get over them when you feel you don't want to and cannot.

I there's nothing to do but patiently wait for the feeling to pass and someone else to catch your eye.

what when you've been patiently waiting for the feelin to pass for a long time and all sorts of people caught your eye, but as we all know it... There's never candy like that pricy candy on the top shelf and that's what you want you want you want. the more you can't have it, the more you want it. And even trying to avoid it won't work. I know in my childhood I've thought about one barbie doll for a year till I got it. And I still remember sometimes one particular toy car I never got.

Quite hard for one who never heard of "there's no choice". Always been a fighter and eventually got what I was fightin' for, even when there was no chance. Except that damn car and this. Maybe I'm startin' to sound like Don Quijote. lol. Would that be the case?!?! I just noticed.

Unlike you,when i crush and realise the person i have a crush on doesn't feel the same way,i get over it quickly,nothing turns me off more than a man who doesn't want me for me.

But since u don't feel the same way and u still want him that badly,why not find out what interests he has,study them and have discusions with him about it?i think that will bring u 2 together more even if it doesn't lead to u two getting romantically together it is one step of getting closer to him,stun him by dressing sexily around him,get a make over or something to catch his eye,make urself irisistable,then maybe just maybe he will change his mind?i'm all for being yourself but when being urself is not enough u need drastic measures lol.

good luck.

Ugh, this is the story of my life- I develop consuming crushes on people and can't shake them off easily, even when I know the person is completely wrong for me, isn't available or dislikes me.

I have just found that time is the only thing that can "heal". This may be hard if you see this person all of the time, but you eventually will get over them. One day you will know in your heart that you have moved on and your crush will be a thing of the past. Good luck with your situation and I hope everything works out for the best

Sometimes you never really get over them. I've only had one real crush and that was years ago. Not sure I have ever really got over it, but I just haven't seen her for years. Sometimes the only way you can get over them is totally cutting the person off. Its not easy because thinking of the person can dominate your life.

Years later I probably had a chance to go out with this women on a date, but I thought better of it. I knew it was over then, but I still think about her at times.

To answer the original question; drink, drugs and time.
