These things sometimes happen. But if you’re that intent on fighting it then I’d probably just focus on the reasons why you don’t want to like them.

Avoid sexual decadence.
You’re thrusting yourself into this heaven sent beauty with given infinite relevance.
Coin self for the interest
If only purely for the interest.
Plot your land, sow your seed, know your means, drop the schemes for cream
Implore for the meaning, employ keen feeling.
Wholesome demeanor more important than she devils who stop at waist level, drop to your waist level to compensate for thorn like thistles
Go for the scenic, opposite of day dreaming
You already know the ceiling.
Why do you honestly come to HE for meaning?
You already know what you’re seeking, look a bit deeper
There’s no healer if you’re looking outside your skin layer sheathing.

@citygirl9050, Space. Distance. No communication whatsoever. Forget it ever happened then mend it if you can. The health of your heart should remain the upmost important.

@citygirl9050, lol I have that same thing, I don’t want to like someone, so I act stupid and weird, then I annoy myself thinking weird about that person, but then again I feel sorry for that person, so then I want to apologize without any reason, and then I start not liking the person while I in fact like that person lol………………..insane, maybe you should just like the person?? Why don’t you want to like the person? In my case, the person I like doesn’t even like me back so there really is no point in liking the person…….also, I think I like some image I made of that person inside my head, and maybe that is not reality, maybe the REAL person I don’t like, but I don’t know that.

That “I don’t want to” is the barrier. watch your feelings, don’t interfere or judge. You are attached to something/person even when you hate it/him, the more you try to run away from something you get close to it. Hate is not the solution, let go is the solution.

@citygirl9050 I struggle with something like this as well, it is difficult. But I have come to understand distance, time, and focusing more on myself is the only chance I have. Find some new activity, an old interest, something different to occupy your time.

@citygirl9050, Stay as busy as you can, may it be with homework, friends, family, just whatever. Try meeting new people, not in a relationship kind of way, just friends, that will distract you from thinking about that person. Start concentrating on you personal interests, because it is time being wasted thinking and suffering about a person who is just not right for you.

@citygirl9050, I PERSONALLY WOULD EAT 17 MILKY WAY BARS IN A ROW, AND THEN MAKE YOURSELF THROW UP ON YOUR DOGS HEAD, AND THAT WILL DO THE TRICK

@citygirl9050, So… let me get this straight. You like someone who is your friend, and you don’t want to “like” them, because that will lead to you two going out and ruining your friendship. Correct?

So… if the above is correct, why are you willing to distance yourself from them? Won’t that ruin the friendship too? Hell, if you change anything it may ruin the friendship.

Just ignore it. You only like them because you think about liking them. Stop thinking “I don’t want to like you” and focus on “man, we’re such good friends”.

@citygirl9050, the easiest way is to like someone else better, and I don’t mean liking them just for the sake of trying to like someone else, I mean going out there and truly finding someone you like better. Maybe you will never stop liking this guy that is your friend, but if you find someone you like better or at least move your attention to finding someone you like better you will lose track of those feelings you wanted to get rid of.

Remember your core beliefs and think about theirs. Do they match yours? Forgive them and know you will never be truly happy when you cant be yourself.

@xyver, i know it will ruin the friendship.. but maybe it will ruin it for a little and then when if i stop liking them we can go back to being friends? I dont even like him all the time. its just i dont want to develop my crush on him and im scared of that. yeah i guess i just have to think how good friends we are. and i can distract myself and not care…

@jt13 thanks for the advice ill try that

Accept the feeling as it will subside.
Go against your feeling and you confirm it.

@citygirl9050, I gather that you don’t want to like this person out of fear that it could ruin your friendship. But, I wonder, is there any way that it could have the opposite effect? I mean, the way I feel about people who are in a relationship is that they are “more than friends,” or, “friends first, then more.” I don’t see how one can love another without at least being friends with them first. Have you considered that this person actually might be just what you’re looking for? I mean, you’re already friends with them for a reason. I’m not telling you to do anything of course, I can’t, as the feelings are yours and your call to make. But it would be unfortunate to come so close, only to miss out by your own choice.

However, if you don’t want to like someone, a good way to do it has been to really ask yourself who they are. Don’t invent reasons to dislike someone which are untrue, but to take off the proverbial rose-colored glasses, and see the person objectively, the good traits and the bad. No one is perfect and you have to assess whether the pros outweigh the cons. And, to really make sure you’re in love with who they are right now at this present moment, and not who you perceive them to be, not who they were a long time ago. Have you ever read The Great Gatsby? It deals with stuff like that. I recently had a situation like that myself, where I realized I was in love with who a person had been some years ago, and realized that I did not want to date who they became, and while I don’t dislike the person nor bear her hard feelings, I don’t really feel the need to maintain the friendship either. And, I met others who were more in tune with my values, so both of these things combined made it easier to make peace with my feelings for my old crush.

@theskafish, wow thanks for the advice! i will take that into consideration… and yes i have read the great gatsby before :) … i guess i will just make peace with it and hopefully it will fade away. or maybe just let it be until something else comes up..

Build up some confidence and tell him that you like him but not all the time!

It’s your own damn opinion.

Just change it.
Stop rationalizing this opinion.

That’s really all there’s to it.

You can’t hide your feelings to yourself, we can’t control our heart! Just accept your like for him, those feelings will naturally disapear soon or later!
