is dating someone else a way to stop liking someone?

When you are on the date with this "other person" do you still think about the person you like? What about qualities? Do you compare the two? Do you secretly wish that this could be the person you like while on the date? What about when the date is over? When you get home..are you thinking about the the person you went on on a date with or the person you like? If you said "Yes" to any of these, I think you answered your own question.

What about the person you are going out with, do you really like them? When you go out are you leading them on? Giving them false hopes? How do you really feel about this person?

The best thing I can tell you is after time your feelings might fade...but it is not fair to yourself, or to the other person to go out with them especially if you do not have feelings for them.

It helps me. It gets your mind off the other person.

There is a risk though, the risk is that you never stop liking the other person than you just led on the person you are dating. It doesn't come with a very nice reputation, especially if you're in high school.

Feelings can't be turned off like a switch. It takes time. Fill in that time with other activities for yourself and people.

Dating others gives you a better perspective, healthier self esteem that there are others who can like you as much or more. What's there to lose for enjoying life?

Maybe his interest may even be re-piqued when he sees that others like you but don't make getting him back your objective.

my friends also try this but actually it does not help coz .. u like the guy no matter what and going out wid someone else is not gonna help and in stead ur even kind of playing around with the guy u dont like

Yeah, if you find the right person to date you'll start having feelings for that person and forget about your ex.

yeah it helps in a way, it makes you get your mind of that person that you like, and build new feelings to the one you are dating.

its called a rebound honey... it is a temporary way to forget about the person your trying to forget about. time always heals the broken hearted. it will be hard, tears will be cried, but your strength to make it through another day will linger on.

nope cuz ur hurtin 3 people in the process u, the likeee, n the dater

yes it is for most of the people .

It is for me. Well, it makes me not miss them so much.
