Method 1 of 2: Get Away From That Person

This will make it easier for you to cope with your feelings, as you will not become even more attached to the person, and you will also not be upset that he does not reciprocate with you.
   • Of course, it will not be easy for you, especially at first. However, you will be able to deal with feelings more quickly if you put an end to your relationship and try to avoid meeting this person.
2. 2 Delete his or her contact information and text messages from your phone. To avoid the temptation to contact someone you still have feelings for, delete their contact information.

Moreover, the messages will not constantly remind you of this person.
   • If you do not want to delete contact information completely, write it down in a notebook and put it in a safe place. Thanks to this, this information will not catch your eye all the time, thereby affecting your feelings and emotions.
