How to get over someone you never dated?

This is probably one of the hardest feelings that exists. Getting over an unrequited love is never easy and there are a few approaches to overcoming this. The first is: Realist Approach Take some time to really think about WHY you like this person? What about them makes you drawn to them and is this something that you can only get from them. If these are feelings you can get from another person (I promise you can) then why not start seeking someone who will reciprocate your interest? Realize you might just be falling in love with a concept of a person who your mind thinks would fulfill your needs. You deserve to be with someone who makes you just as happy as you'd like to make them. Also it may be worth considering that you haven't really lost something that you did not have to begin with, your brain might just be caught up on the idea of them and the fantasy relationship you might have desired. Reframing Reframing is a concept where we take ourselves outside of the emotions that surround a situation or concept and view the situation objectively. In this instance, emotionally you might feel drawn tot his person as a partner who you've lost, but in reframing it you can view it objectively. This means saying: "Well, I never actually really dated this person. Does it make sense I am seeing them this way?" Your logical brain will likely tell you that this is not the case and that it might be a little strange you're attaching these feelings to someone who you've never dated or maybe in some cases hardly even knew. Journaling and Reflection Sometimes just writing down our feelings and reflecting on them can really help settle down the chaos in our minds. Journaling is a great way to organize our thoughts in a way we can really visualize them and reflect on them in order to come to terms with and rationalize them. These strategies may be useful for you when used together or individually. Regardless, always remember that your feelings are valid and it is okay to miss people. Also remember you are worth love and you should ideally try to seek it from someone who is just as interested in you as you are in them, so maybe try to put your focus and mental energy on finding that person who could be out there waiting for you.

Distractions are one of the best ways to do this. Even if you never actually dated, you probably still have similar feelings as a proper breakup, so you should seek breakup advice. When I went through a bad breakup I got an incredible piece of advice: Learn a new language. When you learn a language, you shift the way your brain thinks. At first, you literally don't have the words to describe your love life! I always recommend this now to friends who are going through a time like this, because I did it myself and it totally turned my life around.

For me, it helps to think of it this way. Love is what two people build together. If you have unrequited feelings for another person, then the other person is actually saving you from worse pain and heartache. They don’t return the feelings because in some shape or form they sense that this is a relationship that won’t work out. Which saves you a lot of time and effort. Certain relationships are meant to teach us something and sometimes the lack of a relationship can teach so emerging more important, the difference between infatuation and the love built between two people.

It's not really said often but I believe that trying to get over someone you didn't date can hurt as much as someone you did date. No matter how large of a role they played in your life physically, that impact is still the same on you. You caught feelings, whether it was reciprocated or not and you were essentially attached to these feelings for a long time. I was rejected by someone I didn't even date, I shot my shot and missed. In all honesty, it took me a good half a year to finally stop thinking about them and what they did to me. The answer however, plain and simple is time. As cliché as it sounds, time actually allows you to heal and is the best way to get over someone. Never force yourself to rid those feelings in a day! It's not worth it and they will eventually come back. Allow yourself to sit with your feelings, recognize your anger and your pain. Let yourself think about them as painful as it seems. One day, these feelings will subside. You will dance once again to those songs that made you cry about them.

I think it might be a good idea to accept how you feel. A lot of people will feel ashamed about feeling that way, and the shame might make the whole thing harder. After accepting, it could feel good to talk about it with someone. But the most important thing is to listen to yourself, and your own needs. There isn't a set way to get over someone. You might have to try a few different things. I believe that our hearts and minds will try to do whatÅ› best for us. Sometimes that means seeking love, which might make you fall in love. Other times it is understanding that you have to let someone go. But doing what is best for us isn't always the most comfortable thing to do. I always tell myself in those situations that; feelings aren't dangerous, only the acts we make because of them can be.

I think the best way is to think about yourself. I know it sounds very selfish, but look at it as an opportunity to grow and learn. I've gone through this many times and it sucks to know that they probably won't choose you. The first step is always the hardest and it is to accept to move on. Accept the feelings as feelings, not as anything more (if that makes sense). Ignore the "what if" questions and just breathe. You can't control your feelings and that's ok. After getting over the hardest step, it's kind of up to you how you would like to move on. Self-care? Learn a new hobby or educate yourself. I don't know. Do something that makes YOU happy

Don't rush things, take time for yourself because you deserve it. Never forget that you are your own priority. People come and go, but you are here, and will be here for a long time. Try your best to not stress out too much, eventually you'll have to let go. Because it's the only way to move on in life. As hard as it is, it does take a lot of strength but regardless, it's possible and never impossible. Don't give up yet because there will be much more beautiful things that will come in the coming future, don't forget that.

It is possible to get over someone even though you may have never dated. There was a time I thought I am in love with this person that is my dream boyfriend. Indeed, that was the person that I imagined in my mind, healthy looking with blondie hair and blue eyes. Yes, I saw that person in the gym, and I found myself in love. I felt excited; i.e., butterflies in my stomach. I had an even stronger imagination that we were going out, I was pushing myself to be more in love with him. A was setting a new goal to achieve for me. I was tired and asked myself. How can I stop this; being madly in love with him? By accepting that it is me my imagination makes him a perfect love match for me.

Even if I have not been in a relationship with someone i still sometimes feel a strong connection towards them. Focusing on other things or people helps me distract myself from the person. Putting space between myself and the person helps too. A big part of what you need to do to get over them is realize that you will be better without them and your liking towards them holding you back. You also need to stop telling yourself that it was the wrong time or checking in on them. Also remember that is is normal and okay to kiss them or be sad.

I too, have been obsessed about someone that I never dated. After a long time, I understood that what has caused this. Loneliness. At least that was the thing for me. I craved affection and love, so I started to like someone that I kind of barely knew. I would think about them 7/24, make scenarios in my head about them. How do I get over them? I busied myself with new things. I started watching anime (Which I thought I would never do it) and just accepted that I felt like this because I was lonely. Maybe you should tune in with your emotions?
