Don't want to sound cliche here, but I've come across the perfect guy - basically the man of my dreams. Personality, looks, lifestyle... I honestly can't see how someone can be so perfect to me, or even come across paths, but it has.

Anyway, without telling him my feelings and not seeing him anymore, it's been very hard to stop thinking about him. Also think he is straight too, which makes it worse.

So, I've tried to get him out of my head, and there's plenty of fish in the sea, but still... The perfect guy is hard to get over, even I've kept it a secret to everyone.

Any advice, or personal experiences similar to this? What helped you over this?

Thanks in advance.

The only advice I have is that he may not be as great as you think. Unless you've spent a lot of time togther alone or lived together, it's generally hard to know whether he's as great as you think he is.
 
Agreed above, I found 2 ppl I thought they were perfect tried to date, and it epic failed, but I wish u luck hunni we don't know till u try
 
Yea. I thought I found the perfect man. He looks hotter then heck. He smells good. Use to be the life of the party. Over my many years on here I talked about him some on some posts. I lost friends, lost time with my family, lost work productivity because I was always thinking of him. I look back now and can't believe I was so into him. I finally saw it at a Christmas party one year. I kept hanging out with him. I was so bored! All my other coworkers and friends were having a great time. He was just into his self. He cared nothing but himself. I realized no one mattered to him at all by his actions that night. So, the short story is. No matter how perfect you think he is. He isn't.

There is someone out there for you. Someone who will love you as much as you love them. When that happens. You will find out the guy who loves you back.... who has more imperfections then you can list...is the true "perfect" one!
 
^Beautifully stated. Fantasy is not interactive. Crushes help steer us in the right direction.
 
I found the perfect man, even knowing no one is perfect. But he surpassed so many things I wanted in a guy, and surprised me with things I couldn't anticipate.

I didn't try to "get him out of my mind." I tried to get him into my bed :twisted:

15 years later…. :)
 
Just so you know...many sociopaths are very charming. They're "perfect"...until you get to know them.

If he is straight and you're gay, he is not perfect for you then.
 
I did find the perfect guy for me but I wasn't the perfect guy for him and he left. It's been tough.
 
Actually, it is untrue that being a sociopath makes a person charming. It's more complex than that.

An aspect of human "moral behavior" is tending to "stop and think" before proceeding along a certain course. People who lack this reflex might be essentially honorable people. They might give to charities. They might have the ability to sincerely love a certain person. However, they may also act more readily on "evil" ideas. They might hurt a person before they have realized that they went against something they really believed in. It is really very much a tragedy. Think "Hell's Angels."

However, there is a trade-off that comes with this "stop and think" reflex. It's not as easy for you to be a "smooth talker" because you get distracted from your target activity, which is trying to charm some guy or some girl, and you start doubting yourself. You doubt your motives. You wonder if you are being "real," and meanwhile your target gets off the hook and swims away.

The thing is, people who have evil motives might still have the "stop and think" reflex. Therefore, those people will have the ability to stay out of trouble. They will be able to avoid getting caught at being evil, but they are still evil. They are just better at it than those who are more likely to be labeled "sociopaths." They might not have the charm, but they might be pretty rich, usually on the back of other people's suffering. Let's take for example a lawyer who makes his living off of ruining other people's lives and becomes a billionaire in doing so. Hardly a charming or likable sort of person, generally creepy to be around.

Now, let's compare that nasty lawyer with a charming working-class guy who tends to beat his lovers, get into fights, do really deviant things, but also seems to be the first person to run into a burning building to help others. The wicked lawyer actually is evil, but he is not immediately dangerous to anybody. The other guy might be dangerous, but he really has a more noble character. Of course, you also have people who have both problems.

In any case, there is no such thing as a "perfect guy." Literally. A good relationship is based on the solid foundation of patience. The longer you know a person, the more apparent that person's flaws will be. If you consider the slightest flaw to be a deal-killer because suddenly you realize that this person is not as picture-perfect as you started out believing, the relationship is doomed. You must be willing to practice tolerance toward a normal, flawed human being. That is the makings of a truly beautiful and lasting relationship.

Also, you might want to look up the term "limerence." When your mind is in the state of romantic attraction, you are not thinking clearly about that person. When you have a crush, you are in that state of mind called "limerence," which means that you are prone to forming an unrealistic perception of what kind of person the object of your attraction is. No matter who you are, no matter how intelligent or cynical you may be, when your mind is in this state, the object of your desire is going to be bigger than life.

That isn't to say limerence is a bad thing. It is a wonderful feeling. Enjoy it while it lasts. However, if you want that feeling to be replaced with the tranquil, deep sense of bonding that comes with long-term attachment, you must have the ability to accept into your heart a person who is just as human and flawed as any bum on the street. If some random person you have no feelings for is not good enough for you, then you are never going to be happy with anybody in the long-term, no matter how strong your crush may be.

If you want real love, learn to love a human being. That is all there is out there.
 
Your perfect man loves dick, dude. Clearly this one isn't your perfect man if he doesn't. Seriously, crushing on straight guys is so 2000s...

Anyway, my ex roommate had a great pearl of wisdom that applies here - the first two months of knowing someone, you don't truly know THEM, you know your own idea of who they are. It is after that time that you truly start to learn who they are, and THAT'S when you know if they are for you or not. All the stuff you love about this guy is in your head, based on clues and hooks in him. But those clues and hooks don't necessarily signify what your head tells you they do, and especially if you aren't around him anymore, you'll never know what his true self is. It might be close to your vision, or it might have little to do with it.

Either way, move on, dot org, because crushing on straight guys is pathetic and virulently unhealthy.

The true man of your dreams is out there. Sounds like you haven't found him yet, since your "perfect" guy hasn't reciprocated those feelings for you. It's ok to fantasize once in awhile but it can quickly become unhealthy if you let it consume you. Relax and just let it be. Have confidence that you will find the right man for yourself.
