It takes time. Lots of time, but eventually you move on.

you cant help how you fall in love with.

You cant help youtself, we're in the same boat its not nice i hate it.

Preach it, Juice, PREACH IT! Oh my gosh, I feel your pain, I'm right there with you. It sucks so bad. The longing, the aching, the constant thoughts - it's enough to drive you absolutely crazy. I'm with ya. I hope someone gives the answer of all answers to this question!

Figure out WHY you want something you cannot have. When you understand WHY you have that feeling you can fill your need another way/with something else.

restraining order.

Prayer. It changes things.

Im in the same boat as you are. I know its hard, I wish every day that i could be with her. And im sure you feel the same thing for the one you love. I don't know if this is the best advice or not, its just how i am dealing with the cituation. I will always love her, and i will always love the memories her and I shared. I keep telling myself that if it was meant to be then either in time if it happens that her and I will get back together awesome but i can't wait around for that. And you shouldn't either, I have also been told there are many other fish in the sea. And i say to that, i know there are but i don't want any other fish i want her. So i know you feel the same more then likely with the same things i feel about how much i love her. You will have to start living your own life, and better yourself for you. It will take time, its been 5 months for me and i still have those moments where i wish i could still be with her, but Im bettering myself as a person. You will always remember the memories, you will never forget. But try and see yourself making new memories. Your life will go on even though sure you don't want to with out him. So i hope i helped you at all.I don't know if i just it better for you, or worse, but i wanted you to know that i know how you feel, and its hard but you will overcome it.

By loving someone who you can have, and who makes you forget why you would want someone you can't.

Burn his or her photo in front of eyes if the love is fake. If the love is true, i bet you'll not be able to forget your love!

You cant stop yourself from loving someone, you just have to learn to deal with it!

Hrm I know, if we had "the" answer, people would pay for it... I agree with some of what is said above but not all, I had to leave the place we worked together, it's easier to not have to see him everyday. The thing is, I know if he wasn't married before we met, we would be together... it was just so right, would it have lasted? that's another question... but we would have definately given it a shot... I guess the thing that consoles me is knowing I have the capacity to feel that way... that I won't be one of those people that "settles"... the feeling you have is a benchmark... it is so hard but you're certainly not alone and we all get on with it. Quote: The only unbearable thing is that nothing is unbearable... Rimbaud. In time it won't hurt but you will always remember them if it is love and not lust, so trying to forget is pointless, just don't dwell, that is like self torture, get busy with things, friends, new places etc, good luck :)

meet someone else.

By living in the moment...enjoying what I have instead of moaning about what i don't have or can't have...by respecting their choice...by realizing their choice is all about them and has nothing to do with me...by trusting that God has something else planned for me...I'm sure I've used other strategies but those come to mind in this moment.

That same thing happened to me for the last 6 months... 'till a while ago, I fell for someone my own sex who's straight. First I opened my eyes and realized that the reason I was so into him was the illusion of the 2 of us together, and that could never be. So I stopped thinking of him as a potential couple since that was not meant to be. And then I started to think of him as just a friend and realizing that'sd best for both of us, instead of me torturing myself and bothering him with my problem. It could only grow worse if I kept that way. It wasn't easy and it took me a long time, but I'm getting over it little by little. Hope this helps, I know how it feels and it sucks

I think that if you truly and completely believe that it's never going to happen then it becomes much easier to let them go. But if you hold onto the hope that one day it might happen then you'll hold onto it for a long time.

Oh geez that has the be the hardest thing. To love someone who you can't help. You really can't control your heart, but you can control other things like...put space between that person and you. I had to quit talking to someone for five years (a guy friend) cause of that... he married someone else. We are friends now,and now realize, it was never meant to be. Things happen for a reason. And looking forward to that person I can love just like that, and get the loved returned ....something I can have. Just have to realize....its okay to love them, but sometimes at a distance. Get yourself busy with other things...other pursuits/passions. And let time heal.... but if you keep putting yourself in his/her way, you keep reopening that "wound" to say. The love may never go away completely but it will get easier. Just know its for the best... if you move on
