How can I get over this rotten feeling over a girl?

I used to like this girl very much, but being on the shy side, I couldn't walk up to her and talk to her face to face, so I started writing her notes and letters as a way to express my interest and I drew her all these lovely pictures just as a way to express myself. Well, turns out she was simply not interested and she told me to back off at first and then she just started to tolerate me, probably out of politeness but I liked her and I persisted but the feeling was not mutual and I finally just gave up, but not after writing one final letter in which I poured my heart out to her... Anyway, all this happened 2 years ago, and I haven't seen her in over a year since I moved, but now I feel REALLY rotten for doing all that I did. I keep beating myself up over it and I regret writing all those letters and drawing the pictures. What if she kept them? What if she's laughing at my efforts to try and express myself to her. I feel really, really rotten and depressed over this. How can I forget about her and get over this rotten feeling that's eating me up?

    There is no point in worrying about the past, its over. You've moved, and life goes on. I suggest putting all that effort into a new girl you like, that should make you feel alot better.

    Grey I had a horrible crush on a girl and I am shy too, but I'm glad it didn't become a relationship because she would have walked all over me. Learn to hate that ***** instead of yourself. You'll become a more determined and successful man it you do.

    Firstly from the information you've given above, she's not laughing at your efforts, because even though you don't meet her fussy standards, what you did probably made her feel special. I would say she probably did keep your letters and drawings.

    Don't, however pour your heart out to women. They expect you to be sensitive towards them, but not the other way round. Being honest is good, but putting on occasional act is pathetic. You don't have to voluntarly degrade yourself like that. Just learn from it and move on.

    One thing I like doing is going to the gym 5-7 days a week and ignoring women who occassial glance at me to check me out, like I'm too focused on my weight training routine to notice them. You shoud try it. They don't know all my personal issues. Just my dedication to getting fit. It's great for my confidence.

    Sparingly (for budgeting reasons), like several times a year, go to a brothel and pick a girl who would normally snob you off, but has to go through with it for your money. After all, if you dated them, they would take your money some other way.

    Have options and work on yourself. It's better to be aware of several girls that make potential mates then one, otherwise your emotions get in the way.

    Don't let women have a power trip over you. Get on top of your game so the treat you with respect.

    Good luck

    You have no reason to feel rotten at all.

    Things happen, and its not always going to go your way.

    It's like working hard to get a job, you put all your effort into the interviews and resumes, but you don't get the job.

    You just have to look back and think of what you did wrong and correct them and just apply it to the next girl.

    Just let it go, try talking to girls again and I'm sure you'll find a girl, a better girl at that, someone who will wash away all those negative feelings that you're having.

    Don't dwell on it. Not everyone is going to like you and everything is not always going to go your away.

    Do things to get your mind of it like parties, hanging out with more girls, eliminate anything that reminds you of her, etc.

    Good Luck :-)

    Man, don't feel bad wondering what she thought about your pictures etc.the right girl will be bowled over by such personal things. Live and learn from what happened, when someone says back off, they're trying to tell you something ! Pick yourself up, dust yourself off, laugh it off, and look to the future and a girl who'll think you're a sensitive chap for writing letters etc.Good luck x

    if it would help you, apologize..

    i know when i go through things like that, i just have to remember that i'm a completely different person now..

    i learned from the experience,

    & chances are that since i'm the one who made the mistake, i'm probably thinking about it more than any bystanders.

    thoughts really mean nothing, they're just thoughts- accepting the negative ones gives them power over you-

    you just have to look at it with sarcasm & humor because that's the only way to;

    i'm positive you're not the same kid who wrote those letters, you've probably matured a lot & carrying around mistakes from that long ago isn't healthy for your mind or your body

    (:

    just let go & let live

    good luck

    Please do not beat yourself up. What you did was nice. At first she told you to back off but she did tolerate you.

    I am sure she will always remember you as a nice guy. You did nothing wrong. She may still have your letters and drawings, but I doubt whether she would be laughing at you.

    If she stinks then no one will desire to be round her. advantageous if the photographer can get throughout the photograph shoot then it may desire to be ok because you won't be in a position to scent a image. i for my area think of that a kind that smells relatively has no danger to be a kind. very own hygiene is purely as significant as looking sturdy.

    i highly doubt she is laughing at you.. your only human.. but try to let it go.. you can't win every battle maybe she had other issues and just couldn't do it at the time (i've been there) but once again let it go it's done and over with you can't change the past and it was so long ago..
