Why can't I get over someone I have never had?

Question - (8 January 2009) 6 Answers - (Newest, 23 October 2010)
A female United Kingdom age 30-35, anonymous writes:

I feel such an idiot writing this. I'm not sure how to even start this. I like my teacher, alot.

Wow like I have never heard that before.

I haven't told anyone about my obsession, about how I spend every living second thinking of ways to get him the least bit interested in me.

It's hard, I know he will never like me and the fact I have liked him for four years now makes me feel that this is not a crush.

It's not as if he is good looking but he is funny and intelligent. The conversation I have with him is far greater than any other conversation I have had previously.

It's never going to happen but how do I stop thinking about him? I have had boyfriends but they never lasted long due to the fact they thought I wasn't 100% into the relationship which I wasn't as 99% of it was with my teacher.

I feel that I love him with all my heart and I am frequently in tears when I am alone because I know he will not be in my life much longer.

I don't know what to do.

I know EXACTLY how you feel.

I fell in love with my English teacher, she was beautiful. I didn't even know I was bisexual before, but falling in love with her helped me realise this.

She is beautiful, slim, clever, funny, and perfect for me. But, she is 43, and i am 13. A THIRTY YEAR age gap. I tried to tell her, with my eyes, actions, i made any escuse to see her. Then after only one year with her, she left the school. I never saw her again, but i still love her.

I accidently sent her an email on facebook, saying how i loved her. Then i instantly regretted it so sent another one saying how my friends typed that as a joke.

Hi, I know how you feel, I'm 20 and when I was 11-16 I had a major crush on my geographt teacher. He was funny, intelligent and it was just as if I could talk to him if I had any problems. I even made excuses to go and see him and I'd pretend to discuss things like homework with him. He was really good looking as well and single because I asked him. We had loads in common and always had a good laugh. When I left school it broke my heart. I never saw him again until 1 year after I left. When I did see him he said we should meet up sometime and catch up so we did. I realised I loved him and I think he knew that. After 2 weeks I told him that I love him but these meetings can't continue because it would get him into trouble. I haven't seen him for 3 years. I miss him sometimes. good luck xx

it's not easy to tackle this.. such emotions are hard to just 'forget' or get over.

i think you need to fully [and i mean 100%] accept that it will never happen. and when you do, take it slowly and try and get to know guys your age. there are decent ones, who are mature aswell and when you find a really great guy, hopefully you'll be able to get over your teacher fully.

confusedinkent agony auntwell I know that you may not want to hear this but, its very common for young girls to look up to teachers. and although you feel you love this man, I doubt very much that is the case. Its hard for you to believe that in time you will forget about him and wonder what you ever saw in him!, but trust me it will happen.

You just need to focus on your school work and keep busy. before you know it you'll be thinking about him less and less until its just a passing thought once in a while. Take it from the voice of wisdom!, is not as real as it feels and it will fizzle out. Now you sound like a very intelligent young lady, and the fact that you know nothing will ever come of this obsession will make it easier to get over.

but dont feel so silly about this or beat yourself up over it, its all part of growing up. it happens to all girls at some time.

good luck, hope I have helped.
