My crush likes someone else and it hurts so bad and I'm going to let her go

I know how you feel sweetie And it really sucks I know

 

So long as there is a lingering hope, it will be difficult for you to get over her. And honestly, if you don't want to tell her how you feel, then you're made a slave to things that you can't change. It sounds like you don't want to spend less time with her because you appreciate her as a friend as well, but the best thing to do in these kinds of situations is to distance yourself from the other person for some period of time -- physically, emotionally, or both.

Of course, I'll always advocate for open communication, so I imagine the best thing to do in this circumstance is to give her a heads up with something along the lines of "Hey, I like you more than I ought to, and I know you don't feel the same, so I think it'd be good for me if we left each other alone for a little while." Doing something like that takes cojones, but if the pain of the situation is too great... Well, as someone who seems to caught in a perpetual state of straight-girl-crushin', it's the best advice I can offer.

 

they're called crushes for a reason, either they crush your heart or your competition =P

 

I agree that you get out what you put in, and if you aren't willing to open up to her and let her know how you feel, then there isn't much else you can do except let her go, walk away and just move on from her.. I think to deal with it.. You just stay focused on other things, keep your focus in your school work and on other things that are important to you.. Yes it might be hard if she is in the same classes as you, but what other options do you have really? You would be best just distancing yourself from her, and slowly easing your way out of her life. I do agree with Weekender that you should at least keep the communication open and let her know what you are planning on doing so she at least knows that she needs to respect your decision for space.
