How do I not fall for someone that is straight?

This can be an extremely hard situation, especially if it is someone you have known as a friend before discovering your feelings. I have been there many times myself. One thing to remember is to honor your feelings. If you feel that you need to step away from this person to make yourself more comfortable and to let the feelings pass with time, that's okay. It can also help to find more LGBTQ people to meet--perhaps going to the LGBT community center closest to you or to LGBTQ related events. Once you start to get to know others in the LGBTQ spectrum, you'll be able to expand your circle of friends that share your sexuality. You'll also find more people to fall for that will be a great fit for you! It is hard to know if someone is straight or not before feeling comfortable enough to ask them, and so avoiding it completely can be hard. The one thing to remember is that you are amazing the way you are, and even if you have fallen for someone straight, that doesn't mean you won't one day find someone perfect for you that also shares your sexuality/sexual preference!

You can't help who you fall for but it might be wise to avoid that person until you've moved on. I know it's tough, but you'll get through it.

I am not sure if you can control who you fall for so that is a difficult to do. I am sorry but I think you fall for who you fall for. Good luck:)

Falling for someone who is straight is difficult, mainly because you know that there is a slim chance of you ending up together

Sorry buddy, there's no easy way around this! In your life, you're going to fall for all kinds of people. If they're straight, too bad. One day you'll find someone for you who shares common interests (and preferences!). Right now you're just going to have to ride it out. If you 100% know someone you're crushing on is straight, don't act on it. That's probably the only advice I can give.

This is a hard answer to tell, but there really isn't a way to stop yourself from falling in love. Falling in love is like slipping over a waterfall, you can't really stop it once you really start being pulled over the edge.

There is no way of stopping yourself to fall for any type of person. Its your taste that matters. People follow their attractions that they have for a certain taste in people.

Sadly sometimes we can't control how we feel or are emotions! and I'm sure most of us have experienced this in a way before a vast majority people are straight. But you got to remember there are loads and loads of people who are also LGBT! who I'm sure would love to be in a relationship. you've just got to keep working on it and move on and look forward to your future - hopefully with a happy relationship! :)

You should allow yourself to feel whatever it is that you feel and e true to yourself in that, because you cannot change who you are. In that same way, the person you are falling for cannot change who they are either, and it helps to constantly keep in mind that you wouldn't want them to, because caring about them means wanting the best for someone.

Spend as little time with them as possible without being rude or cutting them out entirely. It’s okay to be friends with whom ever you’d like, however.. falling in love requires spending a lot of time with said person and if you feel for them don’t be fooled so quickly, it may not be the love you think it is but try not to let it grow by inviting a “third wheel” when you’re with the person, and try not to get into personal conversations.
