<p>Hm. Well, the boy I've been crushing on is actually my good friend right now. Which made it worse than when we weren't friends because atleast back then I could enjoy the mystery of not knowing how he felt about me or what he thinks and etc (I know A LOT more about him than before).</p>
<p>i completely agree. when you like someone you're not friends with, it generally doesnt last too long and even if it does its not as bad as talking to him every day, or trying to avoid him. or being mean to him because youre a 5 year old and thats what you do when you really like someone.</p>
<p>not that i have self esteem issues. i'm almost always positive, actually. but being chubby had stopped me a whole lotta times.</p>
<p>even when i was skinny (yeah, i was!!) i was always too afraid to confront a guy i like. if he was a friend or something, we have fun. but if it's a guy i like, i can't even joke reasonably. thanks, though.</p>
<p>my friend had the same problem before, and this is what she did...( it's really cruel..i guess, but it worked for her).Think of negative thoughts about him</p>
<p>In my friend's situation, the guy that my friend had a crush on seemed perfect for her, but she knew that he never did/ will like her. So, she convinced herself that he was not good enough for her by telling herself that he lacked diligence and was not tall enough ( i know it may seem werid)...In the long run, it made her forget about him, and she moved on.</p>
<p>Let me help y'all out. So I like this foreign exchange student this year and I get to know her really well and after going and doing a few things on the town I decide to ask her to formal. So we go to formal. Well, I really like her a lot so I decide to tell her how I feel (just do it, it's worth it). And so I did. I got rejected worse than I would if I drove in for a layup in Shaq's lane. S.h.i.t. happens. It sucks. Then you have to either be obsessive and keep chasing the rainbow or reel in the line and fish other waters.</p>
<p>eh. the thing is, sweetsixteen, he is TOO GOOD for me. that's why i can't get the nerves to say anything. i'm fearing the scenario biomath2 just said right up there</p>
<p>I had a crush on a guy for 3 weeks and i honestly thought I was in love lol (he's so charismatic.. i still think he's hot though)
I got over him during 2 weeks of school break. It's easier to stop liking someone after not seeing them for couple of weeks because you stop getting that rush of wanting to see him and stuff.</p>
<p>I hate it when guys fall for me and when I don't feel the same for them.. it's so hard - like, you don't know where the boundaries are: talking with hostility/talking as friends/near-flirting/flirting/etc..</p>
<p>Yeah I've liked my best friend off and on for 2 years. She used to like me (about 2 years ago) and then last year too. She constantly leads me on, only to crush me later. Saying we will be together really soon and then later saying she was wrong. And then saying she likes me, then acting like she never said it. Now we're having these big fights because she puts all of these idiots over me (people she has completely superficial relationships with). She acts sooo different in public (in a bad way) and makes no effort at all to me. Except when I say I'm gonna give up on our friendship and then she suddenly loves me.</p>

scholarship, why not introduce yourself and at least give it a shot? You can never get anything if you don't try.

I'm basically in this camp ... I have few regrets in life and most are things I did <em>NOT</em> try. From 13 to 18 I liked 2 girls (one from 13-15 and then we moved and then another one from 15-18) and I was way too shy and didn't have the nerve to talk to them never mind ask them out. Eventually, I figured out that if I liked someone I would ask them out or at least talk to tham about my feelings ... if they were interested GREAT ... if they weren't that was still good because, for me at least, it created some closure and I seemed to be able to move on much better than when I had a silent crush for years and years. Limbo, is a terrible place ... find a way to try for what you want ... and then move on if it doesn't work.</p>
<p>Haha, sailor. This guy does have a xanga. But he fills it with flash animations that he makes and funny little stories.</p>

How is somebody too good for someone else? He's not a Mother Tresa is he? And you don't happen to be an ex-convict, do you?</p>
<p>Atomic, your friend is weird. Its not worth being in a love relationship with her. If she messes with you when yall are just friends, imagine what kind of **** she'll put you through when you're supposed to be bf/gf.</p>

Haha, and that makes him cuter, doesn't it. My scenario was the instance of an extremely cute quiet guy who was scientifically brilliant, but upon journal-finding was totally opposite of me politically and couldn't spell "wednesday."</p>
<p>Wow, I know exactly how a lot of you feel. I've had my fair share of crushes on guys who didn't even know that I existed, and those crushes were NOT FUN! But at the same time, I did kind of enjoy them. You get this "floating" feeling whenever you're around a guy you like, and it's kind of nice. What's not nice is knowing that nothing will EVER happen (unless you try telling him that you like him, EEK!) and that you are focusing on him way too much!</p>
<p>Personally, it has always been impossible to make myself get over crushes. I usually just had to wait until I got over them. But a good thing to do when you have a crush on someone is to try to focus on other things. Start a project that you truly enjoy, and it should help you to get some fresh air (if you know what I mean).</p>

<p>I don't think you're correct in making a blanket statement here. My girlfriend (of six years) and I were friends for a year before we started dating. Sometimes dating a friend can be uber awesome because you already have a foundation to build a romantic relationship on.</p>
