How to Get Over a Potential Boyfriend

You might be heartbroken if someone you like rejects you.

If your potential boyfriend, or crush, does not want to be with you, then you may feel rejected and suffer heartbreak. Even though you like a boy, he may not have the same feelings and want to be in a romantic relationship with you. Dealing with heartbreak can be difficult and if you are unable to cope with rejection, you may become depressed. Learning how to get over a potential boyfriend will help you to move on with your life and find someone who wants to be in a relationship with you, too.

Instructions

1. Date someone else. Socialize and meet new people to help you to forget about a potential boyfriend you are trying to get over. Find places to hang out where single men may go, such as a nightclub. Ask your friends and family to set you up on blind dates or to help match you with interesting men. When you go on a date with someone new, do not compare your date to the man you want to forget about. Instead, focus on getting to know your new date and his characteristics to see if he might be your new potential boyfriend.

2. Identify reasons why you and your crush did not start a relationship. Forget about your emotions and focus on logical reasons why you and he were not a good match. Try to re-evaluate his character from a different perspective without seeing him as someone you like. Write a list of both the positive and negative aspects of him. Re-evaluating why you were attracted to him can help you to take a more realistic view of him and see things more clearly. You may discover that the man you thought had the potential to be your boyfriend is not a good match for you after all.

3. Try to stop thinking about him. Find things to do that occupy your mind and time. Get a hobby, join a club or hang out with your friends. You will begin to forget about the man you had a crush on the less you think about him. It may seem hard at first, but the more you try to re-focus your mind elsewhere, the easier it will become to forget him. Trying activities like meditation will help you to control your thoughts and to think about the things you choose.

4. Visualize yourself in a relationship with another man. Close your eyes and image yourself happy and in love with someone other than your former potential boyfriend.
