How do i stop liking someone

[LateForTheSky]

I really like this guy but hes str8 I think I am not very close atall and we have barely even spoken. Yet i feel different about him from a normal crush I have only ever felt this once before and it was a girl and i was gay then too. So i think its more than a physical thing. I know i have NO chance with him so i want it to pass, last time it took years and it was VERY painful. I have cried myself to sleep because of it. I just want ride of it its always praying on my mind every second thought. What should I do? If I told him he wouldnt understand and talking to friends dosnt help

You should try to move on, because he's straight and you should respect his decision. You could ruin the friendship in trying to move in on him and that's something that can get you in a worse situation.

I dont think u can really stop likeing someone srry. U cant change how u feel. Eventually u might get over it but u might try doing other things to distract u from him.

I agree with Thomas here (great minds think alike!). I'd also like to add that if you can find a way to 'stop feeling' please tell me first, so I can sell the idea and retire early. I especially would like this before this dreadful paper I'm working on is due.

Seriously, if you recognize that there's not much chance, and there's not much you can do, then the issue isn't so much 'not feeling', but rather dealing with loss. Loss takes a while to get thru, to fade, you need some time to feel badly. But also to put it into perspective and recognize that the good thing is your ability to love someone (even if it feels like a crush), and that ability sorta guarantees that there will be someone else, and, by the odds alone, at some point, someone who will be really available to you in a recriprocal way. So, feel bad, about losing this opprotunity, but feel good about the promise of tomorrow. And until then, take care of yourself. In time, it will pass.
