How can you stay in love with a person who doesn't love you back?

Could you tell us the timeframe of when did those things happen, for example, you said that the girl used to run after the guy. For now all I could say is give the girl her space to think things through, although a couple of text once in a while is good to maintain communication. Maybe they should start off again.

I went through this to. I was 16. It took 6 months to get over him. Yuck! If he can he should move on and live his life.

My only advice would be for him to move on and ACCEPT THE FACT that his ex-girlfriend had fallen out of love. It really happens when someone gets tired of loving someone who doesn't feel the care and love then. I know it hurts but it is only when someone is gone that you would realize how much you love that person. ONLY WHEN IT IS ALREADY TOO LATE.

hello friend. so sad to hear this. and i am from china. i don't know where you are from . and don't know the culture of your country. but in our country . its different to this. and none could stay in love with a person who doesen't love him back. that's not intelligent. good luck.

Hi applejoy! I think you are right. Texting her everyday will only make her angry. Tell your friend to just drop simple and thoughtful messages once a day. It's like not directly talking to her but let her know that you are there for her. Also, it would also be best to ask the girl if it is ok with her to court her again. If her answer is yes then do it. But if no, then you should respect her decision and try to give her space. You can try to ask her again after a month or so. Just give her space for the meantime.

If the doesn't like him anymore and sees no more chance, then i think it's best that he moves on also in his life. Or if he really wanted to court her again, then court her in a way that the girl will not be irritated ... there's a possibility that the girl just wants to see his sincerity this time

as a woman, my opinion is to just leave the girl alone because i wouldn't like a man to keep on harassing me if i don't like him... the more your friend is chasing after the girl, the more the girl will run away from him... but if your friend give her time and space to think, may be one day she will come back to him... so for now, i won't suggest your friend to text her everyday... take care and have a nice day...

applejoy, There are some people that just cannot take no for an answer, stop at a stop sign or red light and that unfortunately is your friend. I am sure he is fully aware and could see that his ex-girlfriend is not only uninterested but has moved on. So, it is really up to him to accept reality and come to his senses or he will eventually crash into the wall and hurt himself again. I would say that you leave it to him if he does not heed your well intended advise. He will just have to learn this the hard way. As a friend, just remain by the side and be ready to give him a hand when he falls exhaustively. Take care and have a nice day.

Oh! Your friend ignored her and now repents for it. Really pathetic to hear. Yet, if his feelings for her are genuine, then there is no wrong to make a second proposal. Ask him to express his love in a diplomatic way and try out his luck. If she is not at all convinced, well, time will heal all wounds.

I think that the ex-girlfriend has really moved on. He may try to be friends with her again though before courting her again. After all, good friendship is a good start of a relationship.

he can't do anything if she doesn't want him too. love by force it can't be. he should simply accept it and try to move on. usually it happenes like this, indiference it what makes our interest in a certain person come out. if that person shows us much interest it's boring, but when she/he doesn't than things become interesting

set her free you know. if your friend really loves her, just be happy for her. after all, its his fault thats why the girl maybe got sick and tired of running after him. the best thing to do is just let go so your he can also move on and forget the past

I think he missed his chance. Once a woman says she has moved on, she has moved on. It is difficult to let go of someone you once loved, but when you have there is not turning back. IMO, he should look at it more carefully. See if the woman has indeed moved on, but he shouldn't push himself if what she says is true. He should also move on with his life because you cannot live until you have let go of the past.

When a girl says "I'm moving on", then it means that everything is over 95%. It will be better for him to forget her and find someone who could love him back and deserves his.

One can never know the importance of someone when he/she is already gone totally from his/her life. So i think the guy should move on, the girl gave everything to the guy already when they were still together but the guy just ignored it and now what? He is the one running after the girl because he realizes he loves her? He has has his time already but wasted it..so better he should move on and let the girl be happy

The girl said it already, she doesn't love him anymore. Loving someone who doesn't love you back happens all the time. That is the reality called Life. At this point in their relationship, who runs after who doesn't really matter any more. May be the girl never really loved the guy that much. Could have been just infatuation. I think he needs to move on as well or if he is intent on courting the girl again, may be he should give her space for the mean time.

I think he should move on just what his ex-gf did. I do believe that one will only knows the meaning of someone or something in his life when he begun losing it. He should have value his ex when they were still together,for sure the love and affection the girl used to show him was the reason why your friend wants his ex back. Just move on and next time he'll have a gf,better take care of her. ^_^

its pretty hard itoo know. But if you want to get her love be patient.And offer her your lover shower your love.. She may be rejecting but make her happy. say her sorry for doing any mistake and make a promise to her that he will not do any mistake in future and also make her to trust hi. And finally one thing is love should be on two sides...Wait patiently until she melts down to accept your friends love do not force her. Ask your friend to not to be afraid... Wish you good luck...
