10 Ways To Get Over Being Crushed By Your Crush
@thetrendytomboy

We’ve all been there, crushing on someone we know we can’t have. Somehow, it seems getting over crushes is harder than moving on from actual relationships because (usually) the other party doesn’t know you exist, which makes you want to die inside. Do they know I exist? Did they text me back? What are they doing now? Here are some ways to cure yourself of "the feels."

1. Create distance

It's hard to get over someone when you're constantly hanging out with them. Find the right balance of distance between you and them for your own good.

2. Do you

Find something you love to do and don't give up on that. Some people are temporary, but hobbies and your interests are (hopefully) something you can always count on.

3. Talk it out

Talking about it may be the best way to get over your crush. Don't bottle your feelings up and leave them sitting in the cupboard. It won't do any good.

4. Distract yourself

Find a new person to pass the time with. Date someone else. Learn yoga. Anything that will distract you from thinking about your crush.

5. Unfollow them

Stop torturing yourself by looking at their social media accounts and obsessing over how you're not there with them. Instead, take care of yourself and delete, delete, delete them!

6. Keep it real

When we really like someone, we tend to focus all too much on the positives about them and idolize them in a way that is out of touch with reality. See things the way they are.

7. Know it's temporary and you're not alone

No matter how much you are hurting, this is most likely just a phase and it will eventually fade away. Also, know you're not alone in this process.

8. Know your worth

When we're getting over a crush, one thing our friends always remind us is "It's THEIR loss." Which is true! This person is not the only person in the world. YOU, however, are the only you.

9. Make a list

When all else fails, make a bullet list of things you dislike about your crush. Don't be a Ross, though, and let it slip into the hands of them.

10. Take it one day at a time

No one is perfect. And when you start catching the feels for someone, the best thing to do is take it day by day. Don't rush anything or be impatient. Take it hour by hour, even.

So basically, deciding to stop liking someone is tough. Even though you may feel lame for being so bummed out, you shouldn't. Don't worry, there's nothing ice cream can't cure!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
