getting over a feeling

so. have been liking this girl for quite a while, finally made a move to ask her out.

didn't turn out so good because she's just started seeing a mutual friend of ours...

i accept that and actually i think they make a better couple and i wouldve done, but i can't get over her.

i need to take my mind off things: any suggestions anyone?

the feeling of a 'heavy heart' is really uncomfortable...(if you understand me...)

Just be rational. Go over the reasons why you liked the girl in your head. Did she provide anything that you couldn't ever find with some other girl? You're too young to be stuck on one person, so relax. Go watch your fav movie.

I'm heartbroken too. I just broke up with theater. We'll get over it together..

All the best,
Aeris

do u still see her? thats not guna help you get over her.... try not to see her for a few weeks and concentrate on other things such as your education, work or even find a new hobby and meet some new people

Pick out all the bad points about her and keep them in your head. That will make you get over her.

Yeah im still going to see her. Not by appointment, but just that we will generally see each other and next year especially, as we will live pretty close to each other and that we have many mutual friends.

Bad points...? Thats going to take me ages to think about...
It's a tough one.
But all you can do is keep yourself preoccupied and see it through. It's the old cliche, but time is a healer.
It also might be best to keep out of her way for a few weeks. Just until you sort your head out.

If you have anything that reminds you of her like pictures, text messages, bits and bobs...chuck them all away. It will help. You will regret it for a couple of weeks but then you will realise.

Well, why did you start speaking to her?? Basically against all the advice you've been given, really.

Yes. Delete. What good will come of hanging onto them?...

Listen, she knows you like her. Talking to her at this point isn't going to benefit either party. Just listen to what I (and others) have said above.

Delete, burn, banish, throw away - all good options in this situation!
Been there before. It'll take time, but if she means a lot to you, then you'll learn to cope with just being friends with her. And you'll find someone new in time, just give yourself a chance.

ok talking to her is kinda helping...its like we were before.

iv deleted all texts though.

I'm actually glad you're talking to her. It wont do any good to just erase her or try to ignore her. I just hope you understand there are other girls out there who are great to know.

Yes, but talking to her isn't helping the present situation.

Do you know what's worse? Trying to get over someone who no longer wants you who you only have yourself to blame for messing it up with.

I suggest trying to focus on alternative avenues of female interest. Try and daydream about going out on the pull, imagine yourself hooking up with other girls you find attractive who you know, etc.
