Oh no, I'm not so amazing when it comes to feelings.

My ex gf (whom I still love) went out with a guy I fancied. That hurt. And then the only person I told kept making jokes about how I should ask them for a threesome.

How about living in the same house as a girl who is absolutely unattainable and has a boyfriend of like 3 years..that also hurts for me because she is amazing. The only thing we can try to do is carry on and get over it, some crushes come and go.

A guy I really like who I've only recently come to truly appreciate is now going out with a really good friend of mine.

It hurts.


When this sort of thing happens you do tend to become extremely narrow minded with thoughts such as 'they were perfect and the only one for me' and 'they are unique there is no one else like them'. The last bits true but there are MILLIONS of guys out there that have the qualities you like about him and will suit you better. Think of all the negitive things about him.

I remember at college, I was crazy over one of my best mates, then one day he took me aside and said he wanted to tell me something. I was desperately hoping he was gonna say he felt the same....only he told me he really liked one of my mates, I was heart broken :frown:

I got them together though, I thought it best 2 people were happy and me be miserable, than have 3 unhappy people. But yeah, that's the last time I ever let my feelings take over my head!
It happened to me pet. Some people are really **** arses ya no, but I got over it and them two as a couple now are two of my best mates. So its bad now, but don't do anything 'not too clever' ok?

And me now? Well i'm verging on raving alcoholism, but its nothing to do with them lol

a girl gave me that crap advice after I was upset about splitting up with my ex

I had 2 Twixes, a Kit Kat and a pack of Maltesers and still felt gutted about my ex, I just felt sick on top of it.
I've found the perfect girl who I value as a confidante and friend and who, perhaps, I love rather than just fancy.

She's engaged. But she does know- I poured out my heart to her before we both left for Uni. (She's only 40 miles away... next term I'm going to go and see her.)

For a few months I was really unhappy, as we worked together full-time. I was, basically, jealous and wanted her to myself. But then I came to the realisation about a month before we both left that all I wanted for her was to be happy. I know that I'd make a really bad boyfriend, not through lack of love or affection but the fact that I have no experience and having a girlfriend would mean major changes in my life. Even if we were together, the relationship would probably have not lasted.

I care for her enough to realise that its better that she's with him. They have a long-term relationship of a year, and although they do argue and occasionally split up they get back together. It really is sad, but it is comforting to know that I've grown up because I made this realisation- something I would not have done a year or two ago.

It does happen to people, as this and other posts show. Unfortunately it's part of life. We are all free people making our own descisions, and although we may not feel happy with those descisions life is all about taking that.

Yes, I would change my life for her. Yes, she has been dominating my thoughts for the whole summer- I can fairly say that not a day has gone past without my thinking of her. But she is happy, and I must be content with that.

You snooze, you lose.
Time happens to be a good healer. Try not to dwell on it and you'll get over him. There are plenty more fish in the sea (sorry to use a crappy clique) and you'll end up meeting someone and forgetting bout this guy

every guy i have liked who is at least a respectable person has always fallen for people around me ive had to just put my feels on hold for the sake of my mates so many times, i felt so lonley in college my mate just went around getting witheveryone i liked, but the funny thing was that when they always broke up, they would only talk to me and not her, its silly i know but i think those people weren;t my type or i wasn;t theres back then,

there was this one guy who i always always flirted with and i really liked him, but it was kind of always laughing and stuff he had a girlfriend but he didn't wanna be with her, he said he never wanted to hurt her

ive also fallen out with so many people over a lousy bloke, its not worth it, mates are there whenthings go wrong, and where will the guy be, off with someone else, friendship is worth so much more then a fling, as they say ' alot of people will walk in and out of your life, only true friends will leave footprints in your heart.'
You'll have your epiphany moment, and when you do, it'll be the greatest feeling in the world.

The epiphany moment is when you're doing something, either alone or with friends, and hear something or see something to do with your ex, and you realise... you don't care anymore. Your stomache doesn't go tight when you think about them, you don't feel sick at the thought of someone else doing things with them that only you used to, and - which is the killer, here - given the choice, you'd rather be right where you are than in the situation their new partner is. That's when you know you're over them, and when you realise that you know you wouldn't have it any other way.

Sold! To the Welsh lass in Bath!
The problem, it seems is that some people wait too long before making a step - this comes across as a lack of interest to other people so they move on. Be more proactive and you'll get your man (or woman).

If you're 'not so great at feelings' then you need to do something about it because what it means is that you are not so great at communication and that is even more of a problem inside a relationship than outside of one.
