How do you get rid of feelings for someone?

[trentlogain2]

like what everyone else has already said...fill the void with something or ideally someOne else. for defense put on the armour of God because your flesh, the world, and the enemy will be happy to remind you of the coulda, woulda, shouldas.

for offense, you'll need to learn to practice casting down the imaginations of all the high things that exalt itself above the knowledge of God, then bringing into captivity every though to the obedience of Christ. there's more that could be said to all of this for sure, but it's a start. God bless! hope it helps!

Basically what the topic title says. How do you get rid of romantic feelings you have for someone you know for 100% certain youll never be best friends boyfriend/girlfriend with?

Time, distance, lots of praying, and a focus on something else. Such as God and what he wants you to do with your life.

This, ignoring those feelings until you wake up one day and genuinely don't care has always worked for me.

If thoughts come up I erase them.

Decrease contact. All contact stops no matter what.

I would guess that you have to treat the situation as if it were the loss of a loved one. (In fact it is the loss of a hoped-for relationship.) There is a lot of literature on how to cope with significant losses.

Some of the tips include:

• Take care of yourself. This means getting enough sleep & exercise, eating right, sticking to a routine, etc.
• Seek support. Talk things out with a trusted confidant or counselor.
• Intentionally redirect any thoughts of "woulda, shoulda, coulda" the instant they develop.
• Avoid any triggers that might reignite the thoughts that you should avoid.
• Get involved in another interest where you can expend your mental energy on it.

You might want to search the web for something like "coping with loss" to see what else is out there.

Good luck.

or you could just continue to be honest with yourself instead of playing mental gymnastics with self-deceit.

It isn't that difficult, just try not dwelling on it too much. If the feeling comes up, accept it for what it is and go on with your life.
