You can't, what you can do, however, is change that love. Begin thinking of them differently. It takes work, but you can do it.

This is a fascinating question because I'm not sure it's possible to. I'm also not sure if this is the focus I would want to have in any relationship/ending of one. The perspective I would give, is instead of focusing on how to "unlove someone", perhaps think about setting boundaries with that person, healing enough to move forward and focusing energy on other friends/people as well as the things you're passionate about. :)

You cannot. They will always be a part of you. You can although move on and not put much weight to them. It takes time to stop love someone, the best way is to find distraction and accept the facts for what it is. Meet new people is also a good way to cope.

One simple word: time. Although it may not seem like it, I can assure you time heals everything. You're gonna find someone who deserves you and loves you for who you are. You're gonna stop thinking about time hat person who hurt you so deeply. You just need time.

Well, it isn’t simple to unlock someone, but think about why you fell in love with them in the first place

There is no way to unlove someone. Don't try to run from negative feelings so swiftly or memories from any past relationship. These things can teach us lessons or help us to understand ourselves better. You can't reverse the clock or forget past feelings. Believe me when I say I know the feeling of wanting to run away from it all and put up walls just because one thing or one person didn't work out. You can do everything absolutely right and some relationships just don't last. That's called life. Not all relationships are mean't to last and while endings can be bittersweet, they show us that something better is coming.

Falling in love is hard, and that makes unloving someone even harder. You have to remind yourself why you are unloving them constantly. You are trying to start over and lose that feeling you previously had for this person. Sometimes you need a distraction from things that can remind you of that person, and sometimes you just have to face the music. But, all of these things lead to the same thing, you just have to keep moving forward.

Moving on is the first step. Understanding why you broke up is the second. There'll always be other.

First step is stop trying to. It can't be forced, otherwise it will keep coming back. Start by taking your mind away from it, dedicate that energy to something else like study, work, hobbies, anything that makes you go foward. All the energy you used to dedicate to the person.

Unloving Someone can be very hard, I don’t think you can however I think you can loose feeling for them by distancing yourself from that person and having no contact at all.
