Can't stop thinking about her and it sucks!

Discussion in 'Rebooting in a Relationship' started by Fordfanboy2010, Aug 25, 2015.

  1. It's not a completely different story. Our friendship was great at first. We talked all the time and got along great! But things changed after I asked her out. Things got kind of awkward because I wasn't comfortable with waiting until school was over. I was constantly worried about her finding another guy and I tried to hold on to her too tightly. I began to resent the fact that she was not contributing to our friendship. I felt so unappreciated. But I did not move on because her friend told me she did like me. I held out hope long past the time I should have given up.

    As I said, it was my first real attempt at dating and I did not know how to handle the situation. I thought she like me and I could not accept the possibility she did not reciprocate my feelings. However, I learned a lot. The longer I go without her in my life, the less I think about her.

    @Fordfanboy2010 I just don't want you to think there is something wrong with you or that you need to change. Everyone gets into these situations. And that girl? she will have her heart broken at some point too! Anyway you live and learn and next time you will be a bit more guarded...hopefuly not too guarded though because you sound like a great guy :)

    I am sorry man. They are women like this one in this world.

    Mostly it is because they don't know what they want. They manipulate guys and then leave them heartbroken.

    This can happen even if you will be in the relationship with the girl.

    In my case I was with 1 girl for 5 years and then she was messing with my emotions for another six months.

    (trying to get together, then being friends, then wanted to f*ck me, then not returning my calls, till eventually marrying another dude).

    Mind is not actually rational.

    What happens that at the beginning you get overwhelmed with the emotions and this connection stays in tact.

    From my experience if you are masturbating, after PMO there is a moment when you want to connect on emotional level.

    Usually thinking about girls that you like/love/you are attracted to. So it is easy to keep that bound in tact.

    What I would suggest is:

    1. Stay clean for 90+ days.

    2. Do some physical work.

    3. Find a girl that will make you happy on the same level.

    4. There is a tremendous difference in the emotions when you stop PMOing.
    -------

    A. I was trying to rationalize the situation.

    B. Understand the relationship issue step by step.

    C. You are cured if you would not be willing to have a relationship with that particular person.

    Stay strong and good luck!

  4. I'm definitely more guarded with my feelings now. I don't let myself fall for girls as easily as I once did. I think the biggest reason I posted this thread was because I was hurt deeply by the experience and wanted somewhere I could talk it all out with people I didn't know personally. I feel like the anonymity of this forum makes me feel safe to be completely open. My friends and family just didn't seem to understand what I was going through. They were just like, "She was clearly not right for you. It's not like you guys actually dated or anything so it's no big deal. Move on already. Get over it." But that wasn't easy for me for me as I've never developed a close bond with anyone before, and even though we didn't date, I was super attached to her as if we did. When she started dating that other guy, it felt like she was cheating on me. I've since learned that it's not wise to tie up your emotions and feelings with someone you're not even dating. Seems obvious looking back, but I was too caught up back then.

    Anyway, I'm feeling better and better as days go on. Oh and by the way, that girl has had her heart broken in the past. She told me all about her past boyfriends haha. Clear sign of being in the friendzone...

    I know what you feel, Ive been in your situation, and always thought "why this girl doesnt like me?" " Im that ugly?" "Maybe Im too desesperate, and she know it" and the list goes on... so after repeatedly being frienzoned by a girl, I think " well she wasnt for me" and its the life, I know somewhere is that girl waiting for me, but I know now that Im not prepared for her yet, Im not a secure guy, and thats why I entered the NoFap challenge, to feel the benefits of NoFap, to be the man I want to be, to wake up with that energy that belongs to me and not using it in masturbation. the worst mistake we can make is do this for the girls, if we do it for "the girls" man I tell you we wont make it. we need that control over our bodies, we dont need the sex to live, and when we get that girl, the next step is to have a sex without eyaculation. Eyaculation make the body so weak... the "best girls you can meet are those who dont focus in men" so the "best man you can meet are those who dont focus on girls" :)

    I found all the replies were truly relevant and provide a glimpse of what may have happened, this is more help than I initially found. I hate to admit but I went thru something all too familiar in all the replies.
    I get it, you want to show her your never ending love. I guarantee she will not reflect on your offer until you prove you moved on. Yep, that's my answer. She will consider your offer if you totally renounce. What better way to know you need something unless is gone? If you shown her all the love you have and left your door open, stay away and step back into your castle and work on it. If she doesn't feel it, is ok, you moved on anyways and should therefore see your chances with other women.

    A couple of things to say...

    1. The source of love is internal not external. It comes from you and you have an unlimited supply. When you are in love with a specific person you are creating that feeling, it is not coming from the other person - not matter how unique and perfect they seem. It's like a small flame you carry inside you and some people spark it up and turn it into a blaze, but if doesn't work out with that person, the flame doesn't go out, it's still there and can be fueled to a blaze by someone else.
    2. You seem to have a lot of anger towards the women who have rejected you. When your crushing they are the greatest thing since sliced bread, when the reject you they are "fools" and "liars". Meanwhile that person has not changed. Women can pick up on those anger/bad attitude issues a mile away. You need to work on that attitude if you want to be more successful with women. Rejection is very common, put your ego aside and realize that not everyone will be into you. It's not a big deal, it's normal. Everyone has preferences in who they date, often unconscious ones, if your not their type it's not a reflection on you, it just is what it is, get over it, move on.
    3. Your making way to big of a deal about asking someone out. If you meet someone your interested in, have a conversation with them. If the conversation goes well tell them you'd like to talk more and would they like to grab a coffee, or whatever... if they say no - fine, no big deal, if they say yes - also fine, no big deal. But don't build it up into something it's not.
    My two cents.. hope it's helpful.

    I was searching for forums about heart broken people, and I found this one, it is interesting that my suggestion relate to fapping:)


    I also had this problem, and my method was very un-orthodox. I promised myself that if I ever overcome this problem I will publish my method.

    My experience:
    I dated a girl for 1.5 months but I continued to think about for a 3 year… It was very hard for me and I suffered deeply. I was always thinking about her all of the day each day. Finally I managed to get out of it using a simple method.

    The Method:
    The method involve masturbation, well we all masturbate, the question is what do we think when we do it. All the time while I was obsessed with her I was masturbation while watching porn. One day I told myself that I do not want to watch porn anymore and then I stated masturbating without watching porn. In order to do that I needed things to fantasize on while masturbating, this lead me to try and look on women in the street/bus/what-ever and try to memorize how they look (specially the more exposing women) so that I will have what to think on when I masturbate. This - trying to look at other women’s, trying to keep a picture of them in my mind, made the obsessive thinking disappear. When I started this “process” I also stooped thinking about her.

    Final remarks:
    I do not know exactly why it worked. I know that it can be considered as disgracing to women, but I will not exaggerate to much if I say that I was close to death. This is why I am feeling obliged to write it here in the forum. I hope that if someone is in my position will read it it will help him. Of course when looking on other people be discrete and polite as possible.



    Best.
     
  9. You stop thinking about someone by hanging out with someone else. Focus on the means on how to meet new people.
