What if I never like someone as much again?

Hey,
This probably sounds really stupid, but its been playing on my mind a lot lately. I recently got badly hurt by a guy. I really really liked him and he broke my heart. Ive never liked anyone as much as I liked him...it was scary how much I adored him. Anyway, he's going out with someone new now. So its deffinatly over.

But im just really worried...that im never going to like anyone as much ever again. I dont know why thats worrying me, it sounds ridiculous. But I cant help but worry; has anyone else ever felt like that before? :frown: and did you ever find anyone you liked that much again??

(sorry if that makes no sense / sounds stupid)

:smile: Thanks :smile: xx

Awk you will don't worry about it.

I thought that. I liked the said person for 7, yeah 7, years. And well now, the current love of my life far surpasses her in everyway. :smile:

So don't worry, I used to think about the same thing. You'll realise how silly it was to think that when you find that new someone. :smile:

i was inthe same boat as you when i broke up with my boyfriend. i loved him so much, and i couldn't understand why he would hurt me when he said he loved me too. i tried desperately to hold on to him, but he didn't want to know. i only did it because i thought that he was the be all and end all and i would never find anyone better.

7 months down the line, and i'm the happiest i've ever been with my new boyfriend. he treats me right, he actually loves me, and he is a million times better than my ex. so don't worry about it. you will find someone you like as much, if not better.
dont worry OP, in time you will love again - time is the best healer - concentrate on your exams:smile: (even though you didnt mention any!)
To the OP, you will love again. You will find someone who both suits you, and treats you right, and you will realise that you can love more than you ever believed you could.
Aww it's a horrible feeling isn't it?

I was convinced I was madly in love with one boy in school and went out with a few people afterwards (I never got together with him) I was terrified I'd never feel the same about someone ever again.

This year, upon starting uni again and after a few awkward clinches and dates I sat myself down and said ok enough is enough. I'm just not cut out for love, it's not for me, I don't want it. Two months later I met my boyfriend. And honestly, he proved everything wrong and I wasn't even looking for a relationship (in fact we were both very anti-relationship).

Needless to say I every time I look back on my silly crush I can't help but laugh. You will get over it, just don't look too hard. Relax, build your confidence up, focus on you. then let the good times roll :biggrin:

You get a nice neg rep for that.

OP, it just takes time. You'll feel crap for ages, but eventually you'll move on.

Believe it or not, it'll make you stronger within the context of relationships.

Just keep your chin up... maybe even enjoy being single. :smile:
yes you'll fall in love again and you might even love that person more than your ex... you'll then realise what true love is... dont worry! enjoy your single days :wink:

You love people in different ways.
I have fond memories of all the girls I have been with over the years. Each one different. Its hard to explain... You never forget your first love. I wouldnt worry. Things get easier as time passes and the memories fade. It wont be an issue in 6 months time in all liklihood. :smile:
OP i understand too. We should keep each other updated on how it's going!! :hugs:

I'm like this in a way; have never been in a relationship but there is a girl I have liked for about five years. It started as the infamous 'crush' and sort of progressed - my feelings for her now are very strong and I would never consider entering into a relationship with anyone else. It is just very difficult though - I hardly see her and cannot tell her about it; she is also a year younger than me, so when I go to university next year, I will never see her again. :frown:




Dude sort it out, FIVE years man thats a long time? if i see a girl i like i get to know her for about five mins then ask out she can only say no

Completely empathise. I felt like that when I broke up with my ex 8 months ago and still sort of do. Rather depressing.

Only advice I can give is give new people a go. Don't just assume and have a mindset that no-one can live up to your ex, he obviously wasn't right for you as you are no longer together, but there IS someone out there who is. :smile:


I'm in exactly the same boat as you, therefore can empathise with you, but am seeing this girl soon, and so all should be well.
I'm worried I will fall in love again.

I'm worried I will fall in love again.

haha yeah, been there done that too. There's nothing worse than getting ur heart broken, then having the fear of it happening again..it's a scary thought. Thats why I lost trust and I'm always bloody insecure in relationships..but anyway OP, you will love again, and you will love someone more than you thought you loved this guy. Trust me and trust within the unverse :wink:

Presumably you're around 17/18 then. Which means you started fancying her when you were 12/13. Which makes her 11/12 at that time. What the ****?! On the plus side, once you go to uni and find new people, you'll realise how bizarre the above is!
