. A full calendar can feel like a life-saver when you’re getting over unrequited love. Plus, staying busy can help you distract yourself from thoughts of your crush. Fill your schedule with lots of positive activities, such as studying, spending time with friends, completing projects at home, or taking on a new hobby. When you do get wrapped up in your feelings, use them to create something new. Write that book you’ve always talked about, pen the words to a song to play on your guitar, or paint a picture to give to your parents. Using your creative skills is a positive and helpful way to release and express your emotions. Focusing on your future as an individual is a great way to move on after unrequited love. Set some powerful personal goals to help you get re-invested in your future.  Think about where you’d like to be in the next 6 months or a year. Then, write out  SMART goals that help you get there. For instance, you might decide to get a part-time job to help you save for a summer vacation in Europe. Looking for jobs might be one goal, while saving the money might be another. Do you have a habit of falling for people who don’t love you back? If you can recall several other cases of unrequited love, you may be purposely seeking out people who are unavailable to protect yourself from forming any attachments. If this seems true for you, consider  seeing a therapist. This person can help you clarify the underlying issue in your relationship behaviors and help you overcome the fears and beliefs that contribute to them. When you’re ready, get back out there. This time, however, lower your expectations completely. Don’t date someone with the expectation that it will lead to everlasting love. Instead, spend time with interesting people just because you deserve it. Have a good time without worrying about where things will go. Challenge yourself to date someone drastically different from your previous crush. For instance, if this person was an artist, try dating a sports fanatic.

Summary: Keep yourself busy Channel your feelings into creative pursuits. Set big goals. Look for patterns in your romantic feelings. Date for fun.


When you meet with the backstabber, try to communicate an aura of confidence. Walk up to the person with your chin held high and your shoulders back. Make eye contact and maintain a neutral facial expression. During the interaction, you might try using a power pose, which makes you feel and appear more confident. Try placing your hands on your hips in a superman-like position. Or, sit in your chair with your hands clasped behind your head to form an upside down triangle. You want to get to the bottom of things, but you don’t want to start a fight. Prevent rising temperatures and defensiveness by using statements that help you take ownership for your feelings without accusing the other person. You can do this by using “I” statements.  An “I” statement might sound like, “I feel angry and confused, Bryan. I heard that you told our supervisor what I had told you in confidence. I expected that information to stay between us.” To further prevent defensive behavior, you can also ask the other person to repeat what you just said. If what they say is different than what you meant, you can clarify your point. Once you’ve shared how the stab in the back made you feel, ask the person to explain why they did what they did.  Try a question along the lines of “Can you help me understand why you did this?” Ask the question in a mild tone while displaying relaxed body language (e.g. shoulders back and arms and legs uncrossed) so that you don't come off as aggressive. After you’ve said your part, give the other person a chance to talk. Practice  active listening by trying to hear their entire message before offering a response. Be sure you heard the right message by summing it up for them. You might say, “If I’m hearing you right, you’re saying you only shared the information because you got pressure from Samantha?” Also, read their body language, which also tells you what they might be thinking or feeling. For example, if their fists are clenched they might be angry. If their body is turned away from you, they may be trying to cut the interaction short. It’s hard to step out of your own perspective when someone you trusted has backstabbed you. Still, it can help you better understand the situation by stepping into their shoes. This person may not have even intended to throw you under the bus.  Reflect on the circumstances of what happened. Consider whether you would have behaved the same. Also, decide if you can see—even the slightest bit—why they may have done what they did. While you should consider what they have to say, you do not have to forgive them if you are still hurt. Make a choice about how you want your relationship with this person to be from now on. Do you want to keep them as a friend or hold them at a distance?  You might not immediately decide how to deal with the person moving forward. Get the advice of someone you trust. What do they think you should do? When you make up your mind, tell the backstabber. You might say, "I need some time. I don't know if can continue being friends with you after this. " Eventually, if the person earns back your trust, the relationship may improve. Remember that the burden is on the other person to earn your trust back. Don't try to chase after them. If they are willing to make it up to you, they should do so on their own.

Summary: Approach them with confidence. Use “I” statements to tell your side of the story. Question the behavior. Listen to their response. Try to see their side of things. Determine how you will interact moving forward.
