I want to end my feelings for him

I am 17 years old. I have a huge crush on a guy who is about 6-7 years older than me. He is a family friend and I talk to him on Facebook. I have never met him in person but he seems to be a nice person. I am having difficulty in ending my feelings for him. I know these feelings would take me nowhere but only hurt me. I cannot talk about him to a family member because that would only add to my problems and talking to friends didn’t help at all. I am pretty sure he has no feelings for me. I want to end my feelings for him. Please help.

Your problem is about your “feelings” for a guy who is older than you, whom you never met in person and only talk to on Facebook. Feelings come and go many times in life, as they are based on attractions and emotions, not on experience and serious reflection. You write that “he seems to be a nice person” but you are not sure about that. Besides, you are “pretty sure” that he has no feelings for you. Stop living by emotions and attractions as they will take you in a wrong direction and may end up hurting you. Concentrate on your family relationships, your studies and good friends around you. Do not forget to pray God who gave you love and life.
