How Can I Stop Thinking About This Guy?
When I was a junior in high school, I danced with this guy at a school dance. I didn't have a crush on him, we were just friends. Then during my senior year I asked him to the homecoming dance because all my friends had dates and I didn't want to be left out. We went together and I felt pretty awkward dancing so close to him since I only liked him as a friend. A year later he asked me to be his girlfriend through text messaging and email rather than going out on dates. I thought it was a little odd that he wanted me to be his girlfriend but he didn't want to go out with me. I then told him I only liked him as a friend. He responded with " You didn't think I was serious did you?" I said I did. He then said he just wanted to see how I would react. He thought I had a crush on him based on the way I asked him to homecoming and he said he tried to have a crush on me but just didn't. He then said he was seeing other girls and it would be fine if we were just friends. I didn't talk to him much after that. But two years ago I started having these two week spells where I can't stop thinking about this guy. I've never been able to figure out why that is. I don't think I have a crush on him because I had a huge crush on another guy in high school and couldn't stop thinking about him in a different way. I felt happy when I thought about the guy I liked and didn't want to stop thinking about him. With this guy I feel anxious when I think about him and just want him out of my head. I've tried distracting myself but it doesn't always work. Does anyone have any tips on how I can stop thinking about this guy or why I might be thinking about him?
