We all have someone we wish we could date. Whether it be a
celebrity, musician, someone who’s in your class, a random cute face you
remember, etc. We all have made up conversations and scenarios revolved around
dating this person. They may have even seeped into your dreams, not on purpose,
of course. After all, you can’t really control your dreams.
But then you see
that they got a boyfriend or girlfriend, and you become ridiculously sad about
it. Why is it this hard to get over someone you never dated? It’s even worse if
you’ve never even spoken to this person. Then we wonder, what could have been?
And it’s just a continuous cycle of this infatuation with an idea of a person.
So, the question remains, how do get over someone you never dated?
1. Cry... you’re basically going through a
break-up
2. Eat your feelings in ice cream and junk food
3. Imagine that they were jerks just to make
yourself feel better
4. Try not to think about their adorable puppy
5. Delete the pictures you creepily screenshotted
off their social media
6. Tell yourself there are more fish in the sea
7. Fill your head with new information to forget things
you should not know about this person
8. Retweet ominous tweets about breakups and moving
on
9. Remind yourself that they’re just a regular
person you never knew
10. Take a spontaneous road trip to take your mind
off of it
11. Listen to pump up songs
12. Watch light-hearted movies
13. Get a haircut or new clothes
14. Go to a party and dance the night away
15. Surround yourself with supportive people
16. Take up a new hobby
17. Start running or working out
18. Binge-watch your favorite TV show
19. Frequently nap throughout the day
20. Really delve into your job/classes
21. Clear your search histories on social media, you
don’t need the reminder
22. Change up your routine to get a new perspective
23. Start the cycle over again and find a new person
to lay your infatuation upon
