What do you do when the one you love is dating someone actually better than you?

She's way prettier and smarter than me, and looks like a good person. Yes, I know, I should be happy for him, but it hurts like hell!!

And please, don't come with the "we are all beautiful in our own way" or "you're special, work on your self-esteem", I appreciate the intention, but really, I just can't stand sweet b.s.

    I love how you put that "sweet b.s." hahahaha. There's nothing wrong with not being happy for somebody you care about dating another person. I have been there before. Nothing wrong with jealousy.

    If you feel like she's truly better than you then I would like someone else and stop wasting my time if I thought they'd be together for a long time. Because other people will see you as prettier and smarter than that girl. I guess it depends what your view is.

    I had a lot of sweet b.s. prepared :P I hope this can help you

    Been in the same situation. You just have to accept it and move on. Obviously he's with her for a reason instead of you. Maybe it just wasn't meant to be. You could always wait it out, but...it's usually best to put it in the past and try to find someone else, or wait for that guy to come to you.

    You shouldn't put yourself down. Just because you think she's better than you, doesn't mean other people agree. You'll find someone one day who thinks you're the most amazing girl in the world. Patience is the key. :)

    First, there is no one better then you! And no matter what, you should always think like that. Beauty is not everything. and if (you think) someone is prettier then you it doesn't make she's better.

    Now to the point. There is so many options but only you can know what's could be good for you. You can make them fight and hate each other. If its not passable for you than try to show him that you're happy without him, maybe this is gonna make him wants you back. But one think its for sure. Its so hard to make someone love you if you don't love your self!

    You accept that they chose someone else and move on. The time you are wasting pining away for him could be spent finding someone who actually does appreciate you.

    Why dont you tell him you still have feeling for him, if he rejects you just show him that you can do better, show him you can get someone great too.... If he still has feelings for you he will see that he is missing something great...

    Just tell him exactly how you feel.
