why is it so hard not to let go of that person who liked you once and you turned him down. but now that you like him, he likes another girl. why is it so hard to let go of him? should i just continue and just wait until my feelings are gone? or should i stop taking to him and move on? i don't know what to do.

They say that you'll only missed the person when they're gone, which I believe is true. Sometimes we don't see or we ignore the goodness of a person when they are around. Maybe your just jealous because before he used to be around you. And now that he has found another girl, you're now longing for him to be with you. As how I see it, you find it hard to let him go because you're still waiting for him to choose you. Moreover, that it never comes into your mind that he would get tired and look for another girl. We have regrets in our life, but hey you can still try to fix it. What I'm trying to say is that if you begin to like this guy and you don't want him to go, well, talk to him. Tell him how you really feel about him. If he turns you down, hey girl! it's not the end of the world. Move on, maybe you're not really for each other. Next time let's try to give importance to people who touches our hearts. By doing that you'll see how important they were in your life.

woww.. i cant agree more with you. after losing my ex-bf, i now tell people how i feel. i even made the first move to a guy that i like! it doesnt matter if he has the same feelings towards me or not. like you said, its not the end of the world! i just didnt want to regret someday in the future of not telling him when i had the chance to.

no offence, but i dont think you really like him. you might think you like him now, but i think its more that you like the chase. you like that he is not available anymore, so you want him. lets say you do get him to date you, do you think you will feel happy, satisfied, bored,...? if you really liked him, and there was no reason for you to not date him, then you would have dated him. this is normal for us. when we cant have something, we want it, and once we got it, we are happy for a short while, but then we get bored with it. i dont know how to tell you that you can get over him, but i think that with time, you will get over him. you will find someone that you really do like, because you will date him when he askes you out.

Because you have an attachment to that person sometimes it is like an addcition and you keep going back to what is bad for you. When you have unrequited love it is difficult to believe that you will never be with that person. Also you will feel more strongly for something that you cannot have that which is out of bounds is more risky.
