How to get over your crush?

So, you have a crush on this person, and you truly believe that he / she is one of a kind. But your crush(he/she) does not reciprocate your feelings and has no romantic interest in you. It hurts you and bothers you on many levels.

After harboring a hope that your crush will eventually like you or even fall in love with you for some time, you realize that the chances of the two of you getting involved romantically are dismal. But it still hurts - you still want to be with that person so badly. At the same time you realize that the right and the healthy thing for you to do is to get over him / her once and for all.

But it’s easier said than done. I want to suggest to you one powerful, five-step approch to getting over your crush permanently:

1. Realize that what you experience is an emotion, and as such it will take time to get over it. No one tip or advice will change how you feel in an instant. Only a conscious, continuous effort, lapse of sufficient time and patience on your part will allow you to fully recover from what you feel right now.

2. Stop harboring hope and imagining how great it would be spending time with your crush. Doing this only aggravates your condition and does absolutely no good to you. It's like opening a wound that just started healing. Do not do it.

3. Stop thinking that the person you have a crush on is one of a kind. It's NOT TRUE. No matter how highly you think of him / her, there WILL be other people in your future that will be unique and speical in their own way, and this what will make you fall in love with them.

4. Refocus your attention and get busy. This is not that time to spend too much time alone and dwell on your situation. Pursue other romantic prospects, spend time with other people who are positive, supportive and funny, and pursue your professional, educational and social goals. Keep yourself busy to prevent boredom, because when boredom kicks in, all the negative, weak thoughts return to your mind.

5. Above all, remember: getting over the present crush will help you deal with similar situations in the future that will likely come and will make it much easier to get over a crush and move on with your life as a stronger, happier person, who is ready to rule the world.
