    Avoid him as much as possible , try not to think about him ..... That's all i can say .. Just will take some time ... Try thinking of something you dislike everytime you think of him ? I have tried those and over time they helped my end the crush but just gonna take time

    The three things that help get over a crush are time, distance and having other things to focus on. So definitely take some time away from him, and find some other things to focus on. Hopefully, some gay guys who could actually return the affection. :slight_smile:

    From what I've experienced, just look for someone else to crush on and the old one will gradually fade away. Traces will still remain, of course, but they won't be as important. Just shift your focus to other things and other people, then the past will be no more..!

    I think I have this problem with some friends too. I get really close to my good friends, and then something happens, and I basically break up with them. I'm starting to think that I actually was crushing on them and was in denial. I get almost jealous, and feel awkward when they get a girlfriend, and have trouble being around them together.

    I agree that you just need space. It's best to do it before something blows up, and you lose a friend.

    I had this problem a year ago. It ended in a fight. You should definitely separate yourself for a bit, and occupy yourself with something else.

    Oh wow, the same thing happened to me. I even asked for the guy's number and went on what I though at the time was a date, and was planning to see him again, until I found out he was straight, and that pretty much blew up in my face. Distance absolutely helps, and I know it's easier said than done but don't let it weigh down on you! As Lex said, there are plenty of guys that will return the affection that you want to give! :slight_smile:
