How can I ignore these “love” feelings for a guy?

Alveana: How can I ignore these “love” feelings for a guy?
I’m not use to feeling so.. “in love”. It’s my first time to really feel this compatibility for someone, but I keep thinking it won’t workout, and it really stings me inside? I never even knew someone could keep so sad, hopeless or empty over some guy! Yet, I still like him….

How can I ignore these feelings, they are hitting me to fast and I’m only 17…
Thanks so much for any help!

same here.. jeez its difficult. Im hoping someones got some good advice because all i can think of doing at the moment is going with the flow, because if i dont, i know ill end up regretting not being with him and thats even worse than ignoring the (vomit) love (vomit) ‘feelings’…

Its best to embrace the feeling because after a while of ignoring them you will end up feeling completely drained and dead. don’t look at it as a bad thing think about what it is you like about him…. Or keep focusing on one thing you really hate about him.

First of all you are too negative. When you say things like that you psych yourself up to fail so it wont work because thats what youve determined. Next change your attitude you will appear more attractive when you approach the guy to tell him how you feel. Dont blurt out that you love him but tell him you are interested & woul love to get toknow him. Have your number or contact info written down then give it to him & say call me. You could be a little flirty & wink with a big smile so he will think Wow! You never know what his reaction will be unless you give it a shot & it could be your lucky day. If it does fail then you can say i tried but now i can get past these feelings sooner cause hes not interested.

Good Luck

Do not allow your feelings to dictate your sense in staying focus on the more important issues in life. I really think you need to think about your future ie, college, military and occupation. Do not be side tracked. You really can not afford the luxury of emotions with a person you do not know. I am not suggesting that you do not need an outlet. I am not suggesting that you do not date. I am suggesting that you need to put your life in the proper perspective. Ask yourself several questions. Does he make it his business to be available on purpose to let you know that he might have a casual interest? Does he look like he will be on the same level as you? I am thinking about the dress and the way one carry oneself. If there is a chance to engage in a conversation, what is his plan for life? What are some of his goals? These kind of questions will give you and idea about the character of the young person.

Wow, there are a lot of questions on this kind of issue! I have the same problem. The guy that I really, really like is in love with another girl. She’s horrible to him and they’re not even going out because they broke out months ago but he still insists that he’s in love with her. I always think about him and it just makes me feel hopelessly sad. My advice would be to tell him because you only live once and what if he does like you back? If he doesn’t though, then just start talking and eventually flirting with other guys. That’s what I’ve been doing and it gets my mind off of him, even if it’s only for a short while. Besides, even if he doesn’t like you now, he might start thinking about you in that way and end up liking you. By then you’ll have tons of flirting practice so you’ll also be one step ahead and might be even more appealing. (:

Good luck!
