    I've fallen in love with this guy I know. He means everything to me, all the typical "madly in love" feelings. We've helped eachother out in hard times a lot and I think that over time, my feelings have grown for him immensly. I've told him things that no one else knows about me, no one. Anyways, the fucked up part is that we've never met IRL, I just know him from the net. I'm not too thrilled about this, it's really just hopeless and everything. Besides, he's straight, though TBH, he doesn't really persue women. And worse yet, he's very paranoid and recently he hasn't been online much, only once a month. Anyways, what I'm saying is that I know it can't workout between us, so I need a way to forget about him as awful as that sounds. Pursuing him any further won't be good for my mental health, so I need something to get him out of my head. I think about him all the time, even in the weirdest of times, like when I got arrested or when hanging out and having good times with friends.

    Thanks.

    yeah..

    an online friend can be cool, but i wouldn't put too much hope into it. there isn't really anyway i can tell you how to get over it, just gotta do it on your own.

    Yes, it is rather sad that he is straight, for you at least. He probably lives far away anyways. Just remember ;No matter what people tell you, no matter how many secrets you think you have shared with them online, that doesn't change the fact that they could just be some sick fuck that is there to rape you, or just make you "another fuck". I don't know about you, but I'm sick of being "just another fuck". If you ever think you actually found someone you might love online, make sure you pull off all the stops to ensure your safety, bring a friend along too, and make sure to meet in a wide open area.

    I met this guy Aaron online but he was a total retard so I had to cyber dump him .

    I hope you're not talking about me, you punk. I THOUGHT WE HAD SOMETHING!!!! (my name is Aaron too :p )

    I've tried to avoid internet relationships because they seem unrealistic. But that's not the point of the topic, the point is to help you find a way to forget him. I honestly don't think that you'll be able to truly forget someone if you really love him, but my advice would just be to try to meet new people. I don't know how to go about doing that exactly, maybe that was useless advice. You just have to give it time.

    Hey,
    I'm sorry to hear about your problem.
    It sounds as though you are really sure that this guy is really nice, although you've only spoken with him via the internet. However, it isn't always wise to depend on someone you've never even met face to face. But I also know that it's hard to control who you love.
    I too asked everyone I knew what I could do to forget this guy I loved last summer. People told me things, you know, stuff like: "Concentrate on all the bad things about him." To be honest, none of those methods helped. But you know what did? Many things did work: talking to people about it, and trying to stay involved in activities (hanging out with friends, working, practicing piano, painting, going for walks, writing, etc.). Above all that, the thing that will help you feel better the most is time.

    And yes, I know, waiting sucks.

    But time will help your feelings fade, will help you understand yourself more, will help you move on.

    Good luck with it all.
    Cheers and Love,
    Dylan

    I'm 99% sure he's not some weirdo, I've talked to his friends and we met without any purpose of anything romantic happening. Whatever though. And to the one that said I'll probably never forget about him, true. I've had crushes and all the usual shit before, but this was different. Meh, it's weird to talk about this...... I'd hook up with someone locally, but I don't know of anyone that shares the same feelings and such, male or female. I mean, him and I agreed on so much, we had almost everything in common.
