Getting over infatuation.

Post Reply New Topic

I've been for the past 3 months almost nonstop thinking over a girl. Never had anything like this in my life, I think it's infatuation but I can't really describe it more than a depressing headache with memories. I hate the feeling, I want the old ice cold me back. What can I do to get this finally out without letting anyone know? Every time I finally am out of it something comes to remind me, saturday I woke up and nothing, kept most of the day that way and then went to a restaurant. One of the waitresses looked exactly like her just taller, now im back in the hole. And that's just the most recent one, it repeats every 2-3 weeks or so.

Ask her out?

Well I guess I can only give you one advice based on my expereince and that is, tell her so that at least you will have the comfort of knowing that she knows how you feel.

I did not tell what I felt for a girl that I met way back and I do not only sporadically think about her I also have dreams about her periodically and I have not seen her for about 9 years now and it is one of few things in my life that I really regret and when I say really regret it is not like it bothers me a little bit and move on, I feel it in my soul so to speak and it hurts really badly when it hits.

Tell her, even if she tells you to go to hell and act arrogant or brushes you of you will always know that she knows what you feel. Ask yourself if you would rather have that feeling or ending up sitting on your couch 9 years later with tears in your eyes and an empty stare on your face thinking about regret.

If you really like her, tell her how you feel. If she likes you, congrats, long-distance relationship, if not, then you can move on, knowing it would never work out. If you don't really like her, then I see no problem. Just tell yourself to forget about it, and reason with yourself that there's no point in dwelling on it. If you can't do that, then you probably actually do have a crush on her.

Thats where I am stuck. By the time I convince myself of how ludicrous the idea of us together is and accept the reality and eventually forget of her existence I am unwillingly reminded of her for some reason. Its just too odd for me, I dont even really know her much. We hung out for like a week together and she messed more with my head than lifelong friends have.

Here's a classic... bury yourself so completely in an activity that you have no time or space to moon.

Use your mindfulness skills to notice when you're thinking or feeling about her and let them go, move onto something you'd rather be doing instead. Of course, this assumes that part of you isn't actually clinging onto your suffering, because in a perverse way, it keeps any bond you may have with her alive.

Cliche warning: Time is a great healer

This could be a wonderful opportunity to explore new and interesting emotional realms.

If she doesn't do "online stuff" and you don't feel comfortable talking about the stuff over the phone. Write her a good old fashioned letter and mail. Some women think it's romantic

i've been overly infatuated by a girl that i haven't seen for 7 years, i dream about her often and think about her multiple times a day, she was the most attractive girl i ever saw in my life

she gave me every non verbal sign in the book, but i was too insecure and inexperienced to do anything about it, i can't seem to move on from not doing anyting, i also constantly wonder "why did she do this", "why did she do that", 'what was she thinking"

i sent her a message on myspace 3 years after i last saw her, she moved out of state but i was hoping to talk to each other and get some closure, she just ignored me which crushed me even more

it also gave me major paranoid thoughts, thinking that maybe she was just trying to humiliate me or use me for to stroke her ego

as flattering as her seemingly showing interest in me was, i wish it never happened because i can't stop thinking about it, and to make matters worse no girl has shown anywhere near as much interest as she showed

Yea I think some are underestimating the situation. Ive literally never had feelings like this over someone. I dont even know how to properly explain how im feeling.
