jkbpowerof3, 16

Ok, so I like this guy. Well actually "like" would be an understatement. I would say I love him as much as any 16 year old girl can fathom the concept of love, but I feel like it might be dangerous. Not because he is abusive or anything but because it is an obsession. I have a very addictive personality, and I can not seem to let go of this guy. When I was a freshman, we had a fling. It was very short-lived, but I can not stop reliving it. He wants nothing to do with me, an I do not really blame him. He thinks that I am kind of a stalker (just to be clear, I have never physically stalked him, over Facebook I definitely have, but I have not legitimately followed him around or anything) because I wrote him this love letter. It just really scares me that I am so attached to this boy who, in all reality, could not care less about me and has not for some time. It was like a 1-2 week fling my freshman year, so shouldn't I be over this guy now that I am going into my junior year? And I have tried to get over this kid, and I have had rebound after rebound, but nobody compares. It kills me because I know that it is done and over, like for good, and there is pretty much no point in trying to get him back or whatever, but I can not let go. I do not want to be a lonely old cat lady because nobody could ever match up to a guy I had a two week fling with when I was a naive freshman girl. I am just out of ideas at this point.

Whats it Mean ?

  • jkbpowerof3 change is one of the most difficult things in life to go through, but often times than not we come out of it with new knowledge and strength.
  • Please remember that you are still young, and that you should not be stressing yourself out about becoming lonely as an adult because you have much of your life to still live.
  • It may be helpful for you to consider not trying to date or rebound until you are able to learn how to live with yourself and be content with what your life has to offer independent of having a boyfriend. Doing such will help you to see what type of a relationship that you deserve.
  • Though it may be difficult, it might be helpful to think about the reasons why you still care for this guy and whether you would not have a positive and healthy relationship. Taking a realistic view at what the relationship may have actually been will help you to get over him.
  • You deserve to be with someone that wants to be with you, and thus you should seek someone that likes you for whom you are and not someone that views you so negatively. Thus, if that means you have to cut yourself off completely from the guy, then do it no matter how difficult if may be.
