How to Get Over a Crush on a Neighbor

Having a crush on a neighbor can be a difficult predicament. If you express your feelings and it doesn't go well, you'll still see the person everywhere since he lives near you. But if you don't express your feelings, it'll eat you up inside. Here are some ways to get over a crush without having to move out of the neighborhood.

Instructions

1. Ask yourself why you need to get over the crush-consider if the person is married, in another relationship or involved in some negative activities. If these circumstances exist then it's necessary to get over the crush, but it'll be easier because you know it could never happen.

2. Avoid being alone with the person, and avoid eye contact. It will be a lot easier to get over the crush if you don't see him all of the time. If you do see your crush, act a little unpleasant around him or her. Maybe your crush will be unpleasant back, which may make the person look less attractive to you.

3. Be honest with the person about your feelings. If you find out that he doesn't have feelings for you, it may be easier to get over the person. It's hard to like someone if they don't like you back.

4. Develop relationships outside your neighborhood. You can pursue a special interest group, a hobby, take a class or any number of activities where you'll meet new people.

Tips & Warnings

• If you do express your feelings and they aren't mutual, be prepared for your crush to act weird when he or she is around you. It may be best to avoid all contact if this happens.

• Don't do anything mean to the person in order to get over the person. The objective is to get over the crush, not make the person mad at you.
