I'm 22-years-old and I've been in love with the same guy for 9 years now and so on. I keep having dreams about him which I haven't thought about it for a very long time. How can I forget him? We knew each other since high school and yes were friends but I want to get it over with.

Move on. Do other things, do not dwell on it. Unrequited love kills so softly and slowly, so better move faster by accepting that he is not into you, at least not yet. Pray that the Lord takes the feelings away if it's not worth staying. Also, make every effort to be friends with other people, not only him. It will pass...

Also, you are still young, you have so much ahead of you :)

Okay, my first question is, why do you want to get it over with? You didn't mention anything about having a problem between the two of you or that he rejected you. So I guess you didn't tell him your feelings to start with. Well, if you really want to forget him. You should try and concentrate on doing other things with a company such as your friends or perhaps some guys. Eventually, you will find yourself thinking about other things or person rather than him that much. It may not be possible for you to totally forget about him, and I am not in anyway asking you to do that. As having truly loved a person, that person will always own a part of your heart. You have to live with it.

Ahem, so it's love then. If I were you, I'd seek for that guy, tell him my feelings, be honest with him. You need closure, that is why you can't forge him easily.

It's hard to get over with a person you love. Just try forgetting him and stop thinking about him. Try to hang out with other guys. I hope it'll help.
