How to Proceed When He’s Not Interested
Discovering that your romantic interest doesn’t share your feelings can be painful. Here are some tips to help you move forward with grace:
- Acknowledge your emotions. Let yourself grieve the loss, but don’t dwell there. Process it, then purposefully shift your mindset.
- Cease contact and unfollow him online. This gives you needed space and perspective. Remove opportunities for him to leverage your lingering feelings.
- Surround yourself with loved ones. Spend time with people who make you feel valued, supported, and empowered.
- Rediscover passions. Reconnect with hobbies and interests that light you up inside. You are multifaceted.
- Open yourself to meeting new people. There are plenty of wonderful men eager to treat you with care, consistency and commitment. The right match is out there.
- Speak compassionately to yourself. You are worthy of reciprocated love. Let this experience help you recognize what you need and don’t settle for less.
