7 Ways to Get over Someone You Never Had ...

We've all had that crush that we can't get over, we've all had that feeling of trying to get over someone that we've never had before , but how do you actually move past those feelings?

1. Don't Dwell

Firstly, you've got to remember that you shouldn't dwell on something that you've never had! This is one of the surefire ways to get over someone you've never had – don't dwell! Dwelling on how well they looked passing you in the hallway or how great they smelled that one time you interacted isn't going to help you move on.

2. Don't Obsess over Small Things

While this might seem similar to dwelling, obsessing over the small things, such as a small touch, a light conversation or even an invitation to eat lunch together doesn't mean that you had the person and it certainly isn't a cause for obsession. You've really got to make sure that you don't obsess, as that is a surefire barrier that will hold you back from moving on.

Frequently asked questions

3. You Might Have Remembered It Wrong

How about your memory? Do you really think that the person you are interested in was interested in you? Do you remember their moods and how they reacted to you correctly? Did they really … actually flirt with you? If they didn't pursue a relationship with you outright and didn't want to become at least friends to find out more about you, those little things you are obsessing over – you might have remembered them wrong.

4. Keep Active

You've really got to make sure that you are keeping yourself active when you are trying to get over someone that you've never, ever had. Why not take up a hobby or even start something new and fresh that you've never done before? Exercising is also a great release of nervous energy!

5. Make Plans on Your Own

While keeping active is great, you've also got to make plans of your own. For example, going out for a night out on the town with your girlfriends or even heading out on your own to dance the night away is absolutely one of the greatest ways to get over a relationship that you never had.

6. Realize You Never Had Them

While you might live in the future, where you might have been in a relationship with this guy or girl, but you weren't. Facing this reality is so, so hard but it will really help in getting over them. Remember girls, keep your chin up!

7. It's Okay to Cry

Finally, it's okay to cry! A lot of people think that crying isn't something that you should ever do, that you shouldn't ever allow yourself to mourn the relationship, but that simply isn't true. So cry all you want girls, get it all out.

Now that you have some direction on how to get over that relationship that was never yours, what other methods do you have? Share them below with me! I'd love to hear how you get over relationships.

I feel in love.. Yes I'm in grade 10 yes I'm to "young" but I love him so much and he fell for me to. I could see it. :( but then he took my virginity.. And left me :'( after that he never told me why.. And I'm going on my 4th month and still crying over him.. What can I do..

Omg I love this article. #3 so in point you really didn't get to know them, don't sweat it! #6 gf's could be a great reminders of that, seriously! Lol speaking from experience!

Write a comment ...I'm currently going through the same thing for the second time in my life... A co- worker that drives me crazy with distant locked gazes, nervous talk and silence. This went on for more than year, my intuition told me we were both attracted to each other but too shy or scared to both make a move. After a few told that he asked of me while i was away, not by name but description. I decided it was time for me to read his moves and see if it confirms. I did notice all the signs, nervous talk in person and by phone (work related not personal), always a surprised look to see me, could never muster a word for me... Only hi and he always imitated my tone. He is also very comfortable with everyone, except me. And because that, I became even more closed up... Also he intimidatingly good looking( the best one at work). After a few more awkward exchanges of gazes and looks, a drunk fb add gone wrong, I figured that an attempt at flirting might give him the hint. Instead, he became more nervous... Not even able to say hi. But still managed to find time to check me out while he's working. Now, we never speak actually, all I feel is this weird cosmic pull towards him. It's almost as if my body know he's close by and sure enough as I turn around He pops up out of nowhere. Super intense. My bad flirting skills probably scared him away... Or in his case brought him to old/new flame, since one night we both spotted each other on a busy street and all i noticed was his surprised expression and a small shadow holding his hand. I'm in the midst of ending the dwelling/obsessing over scenarios and moving towards I never actually had him.

Since I've never ever had any guy I like then this was a very good article for me. I'll be reviewing after every crush I have

Im lost cause I really like this guy and he knows I like him but idk how to persuade him or show him that I could be the one and to just give me a chance what should I do?

I love this post! Seems very similar to what I'm currently going Through!

I must admit that I feel a little silly about commenting on one of these... But an impartial third party would definitely help. I am a high school/college student with a little bit of dating under my belt. I haven't dated in two years, though- my last relationship ended in an absolutely horrid manner and I have been reluctant to trust anybody since. He is a college freshman (a complete nerd, like me) with absolutely no dating under his belt. We met at work in September and I quickly developed feelings for him. This was a surprise for me. So, anyways... We started going to movies and stuff (in groups and alone), but I always initiated these outings. As he went to high school with my friend, I knew quite a bit of his background and assumed it was because he was shy with girls. So, last Friday night I revealed to him (using a flip book) that I "was wondering if he go on a date with me?") He smiled the entire time I presented the flip book, and said that he "would love to go on a date with me." He confirmed that it would be his first. (I FEEL LIKE I'M WRITING A BOOK FOR YOU GUYS- please be patient with me). So we arranged to go to Thor on Sunday at 7. We're both comic nuts. We talked in the parking lot for around 30 minutes after the movie and he asked if he could kiss me. And I, of course, said yes. So we kissed once. It was his first kiss. It was chaste. But super sweet. Afterwards, I texted him. I told him I had an amazing time and he said that there would be a second date. But when I texted him on Thursday, asking him if he would be able to do something over the weekend, he didn't even respond. I mean, I wouldn't have been angry had he said no. But it does bother me that he doesn't seem to deem me worthy of a response. And on Friday, at work, he treated me in the same way he always does (which isn't bad) but didn't even seem to acknowledge that I had sent the message or even that the date had even occurred. I really don't want to seem overly clingy.... But I have never put my heart out on the line like I did before... And to be honest, I kind of regret it because I now feel ridiculously vulnerable. I keep thinking it could be because of my body (I'm 5'6 and weigh 171 pounds, so I'm kind of fat) and he's ridiculously skinny (he's probably 5'10 and he once told me he weighs 170)... But anyways, we don't look that awkward together. I mean, I'm losing weight and since he's taller than me, I don't look like a giant next to him. I've rambled long enough. To the point- Has he already lost interest? Was he never interested? I know you haven't met him, but... I tried to be as thorough as possible. PS- please don't sugarcoat it. If the information that I have given indicates that he doesn't want me, then please tell me.

Been trying to get a guy out of my head for many months. #3 is so on the mark. Good riddance, that's what I say :-)
