What’s Your Opinion? Letting go

So I had someone ask me to blog about something to see what others think about it. Here’s the scenario:

You’ve fallen hard for someone and they don’t feel the same way about you. How and when do you get over that person and move on? Is it even possible? Or do you somewhere in the back of your mind always think about that person?

  1. It will depend, certainly. I think the best way to facilitate the moving on process is to distance yourself from the object of your unrequited love. I’m sure this is easier said than done, but if you maintain a close connection, you’re going to continue to stoke the flames.

  2. It depends on you. If you’re strong, you’ll just figure they’re in that five percent who doesn’t like you for some reason, and you’ll move on. If not, you’ll want to know why they don’t care, or don’t like you, or whatever. But the way to avoid the whole thing is to go slowly.

  3. My last love was this actually. I didn’t really get over him, I sort of moved on. But it was a really complicated situation and the truth at the core of the matter deeply hurtful, I think this is why I never truly got over him (though I wouldn’t date him today). Another nationality and I found out he was prejudiced (his core reason for holding back), after we had been the closest of friends, and he was attracted to me. But that hard truth made me want to fix it, so that reality/hurt lives with me today. But as you live your life, it becomes less important and less like a drug with some sway over you. I think it’s never healthy for a woman to like a man more than he likes her, I just think psychologically men cannot step into that. He will always be running, so if you have expressed your interest and he has expressed a vague return? I would walk on, heart in tow (even if you carry the like with you).

  4. if he isn’t reciprocating but still engaging in flirting and stuff then he’s just a douche so RUN don’t walk. Cry first if you must, but turn away. Yea.
