HOw Can I Get Over My First Love??????
« on: August 07, 2006, 11:19:00 am »
i never thought i\'d be writing here because I always hoped things would work out, but someone finally told me to move on, and i wonder if he\'s right.

i really fell hard for a good friend earlier this year. i eventually told him, and while it broke my heart that he couldn\'t return the feelings, he was completely cool about it. the pressure hit when i found out he had a tiny thing for my best friend. he started avoiding both of us, and from that point on i thought he hated me. so i started flirthing around, making him jealous, which worked, because then he really wouldn\'t talk to me. we graduated without saying a word to each other. prom was a disaster.

it had been almost 3 months since we talked.

he came over the other night with another friend. it was still awkward moments. but we both tried to be really cool. we didnt talk much, but i got two nice hugs from him.

i want to see him again so badly. my mom died a year ago, and ever since i had met him, i had never been so happy. he like made so much pain go away by just smiling at me, or giving me hugs. he is the most amazing person, and part of me just can\'t get over this.

any opinions would be really appreciated..... i still don\'t think its completely over. anything is possible.

the way we met was kinda magical, and i always thought he was a gift from my mom. but things got so messed up, i just don\'t understand.

Aw, I hope it works out for you!  My advice is to just start casually hanging out with him again, as friends.  Once you two get past the initial weirdness of being around each other after a hiatus, you will probably get closer than you were before.  Just don\'t flirt with other guys around him, or try to pressure him into anything.  If you feel something really special for him, and you don\'t think that it\'s quite over, then maybe it isn\'t.  After you get back to being friends with him and are sure you won\'t freak him out, tell him how much he means to you.  Don\'t say \"You are the love of my life and I will DIE without you\", because that freaks people out. Just tell him that he is a wonderful friend and he really makes you feel happy. I felt the same way with my ex and apparently he did too, because we kept winding back together.  There\'s hope, just take it slowly!

no no no no no...you can NOT be around him until you are over him.  If you hope to keep a friendship, you must keep your distance until you are sure your feelings for him has subsided.  only at that point can you be friend again.  otherwise, you will just continue to get hurt over and over again.  

I know its hard to move on.  i would guess you think at this point he is the only one for you.  It takes a while to get over someone.  just hang in there.  

and you will NOT die without him.  you are your own person.  only YOU can make YOU happy.  no one else...no not even him can truly make YOU happy.  learn to love yourself...

There is hope... but you will have to generate it yourself. Actually, what\'s freaky is that you and I are in similar situations. Actually, they are very different, but are converging to a similar point. Yours is farther ahead than mine, though .

Anyway, as I was saying... The thing you will have to do first, is to accept that he will not be feeling that way about you anytime soon. If you can bring yourself to do that, then you have taken your first step. I\'m in the middle of that first step right now. Well, kinda . Anyway, I don\'t really have to worry about the spending time apart thing, cause we live pretty far away (like, 600 km or so) for now, but if you cannot take being in his presence, than be sure to spend time away, to get over him. And it\'s confusing, cause sometimes, you THINK you\'re over this person, but then you find out you aren\'t. Just don\'t rush things.

i really want to go back to being his friend, so i know i should talk or see him in moderation, somewhat. we used to talk online occasionally, but now we never IM each other. should i make the first move and IM him, or do you think he\'ll take it as a sign that i still like him..... o man, i\'m all confused.

If he doesn\'t feel that way about you, and he sees you are ready to accept that, then he should not make that assumption. Well, here\'s hoping, at least .

It is always hard getting over one's ex boyfriend. I have faced a similar problem in my life and the algorithm I have arrived at is that you should completely get that person of your life. What I mean is that you should get rid of all the stuff you have which reminds you of him. Throw away his presents, give them to someone else. Tear off his pictures. Delete all of them from your facebook accounts. Block him on chat. Stop going to places where you can find him. Find yourself something which will keep you occupied. Find more friends. Go out on dates. I am not saying you should sleep around. I hope this will help. You might want to read http://www.datingchat.org/the-dumping-ground/how-can-i-get-over-my-first-love.

Healing takes time but as of now I can say that you should go out often, mingle with other group and do the things that you never do it before except drugs and alcohol.
