So I've liked this guy for 5 years. What are some good ways to get over him since things just arent working in my favor?

I can't just not talk to him..if he realizes that i'm avoiding him, he will call my cell phone continuously and if i dont answer, he'll call my house knowing my mom will give me the phone. I've tried hanging out with him, and just ignoring my feelings and it doesn't work. We attempted to date and we kissed once at the end of a date and that made my feelings worse...so I really need ways to get over him. Please help me out.

just forget about him, don't attempt to date or anything, that'd just make things worst.
just focus your attention else where

Find someone else. Focus your attention on something/someone else (like on your studies or any hobbies).

Ignoring feelings always makes them worse...throw yourself a recovery week! Wear cute outfits, take long baths, clean, play/listen music, paint, excersie. Anything that clears your mind and works for you...go out with your friends and have tons of fun. you have so much more in your life then him! its hard to remeber that sometimes. good luck!

Everyone else above me gave some good advice. You need to focus your attention somewhere else. Maybe pick up a sport or a hobby. What do you like to do best?

Why are things not working out in your favor?

And if they really aren't, then get a hobby, go out with friends, do what you can to just forget that there ever was chemistry (if there ever was). It may seem like a big step, but you can do it. There are plenty of fish in the sea!

Stop hanging out with him lol. Tell parents that you don't want to talk to him, and maybe even change you number. A bit drastic but if you really wanted it that bad. Also try not to get over him by getting with someone else, most of the time it just sets you up for another fall.

wait, why do you NEED to get over him? i mean is he just being one of those guys that likes you at one moment and the next ignores you ? i don't get it. i think the only reason you're having a hard time letting go is because you wont allow yourself to let go. i've said it many times but it's true.

^^Agreed.

That's a pretty long time. The best advice I can give to you is, as much as it's hard to resist. Try as much as you can to stay away from the flirting. When you guys want to hang out, it would probably be better if you guys invited other people to hang out with you guys.

Thank you all. I found myself doing some of what you all said and it helped so hopefully, I can just be happy without him! Thanks again!

^ I hope it goes well.
