Inflikted Posted October 10, 2012 Posted October 10, 2012 As pathetic as it might sound, I'm still having lingering thoughts about a girl that I never even went out with. She's someone I'm friends with (so, not just some random I met in passing), and I really thought we could be good together. Thing is, at 24, I don't really date because I don't find very many girls I want to go out with, so rejection stings a little more for me. Let me clarify something, though. I'm not, like... sad, or mad, or upset, or anything like that. This isn't something that "consumes" me, or whatever. I was pretty down about it when the rejection actually happened, but I'm okay now, I'd say. But she's still in the back of my mind. Most days, it's not so bad, but whenever someone mentions her, or something reminds me of her, it pops into me head. And on days where I actually see her, talk to her, goof around with her, etc., it's just right there. Admittedly, given the way she explained her rejection to me, there are some little "what if" type thoughts, and little lingering questions. But like I said, it's not something that's "consuming" me. It's just stuck in the back of my mind. So, my question is... when will that go away? I understand that nothing will probably ever happen between her and me, but why are those lingering thoughts and feelings still back there?
