The girl you like is going out with someone better

For the first time in nearly 5 years(since my last relationship), I finally developed a kind of crush(ugh that's so juvenile) on a co-worker.

She has a boyfriend, and I wouldn't say that he's better than me(or vice versa), but they've been together for a very, very long time.

Ah well. Just having this feeling again is exciting to me. I haven't felt this way since highschool. I'm sure it'll pass.

Oh I see so you think your better than everyone else? Well lar-de-dar mr.king of the universe, it must be a hard life being the the most intelligent, attractive, physically superior super being that you are!

(Please read that in the most ridiculous over the top sneering voice you can think of)

Seriously though, its not a sign of weakness to acknoledge that you are weaker in some areas than another person. Seeing someone better than you and striving for self betterment is one of the easiest ways that people grow as human beings, without other people to inspire us we'd be much worse off.

It is true however that looking at someone else, sighing and going well he's better for her is a terribly unattractive trait in anyone.

Unfortunately I would probably fit in the loser category as well seeing that there are many guys "better" than me.

Joking time! If a guy's better than me, I'll get augmented.
And I raise you a montage! Complete with overused trailer/montage music of the yaer!
As you can see, Adam's quite the hit around town.

Thank you for pointing that out. Choosing for someone else what's "better" for him/her is foolish.

Being the youngest guy at uni doesnt help...especially when most of the really attractive, nice girls are already taken and have been taken since before I started.

So yeah, my life sucks.

No one is better than me, hence I have not felt this before. It's just that they preferred someone else over me. Lord knows I'm the best.

I'v experienced this before, my advice when it comes to women is this:

"Try, but don't care."

If there is a girl you like, try to win her over. If it doesn't work for whatever reason, forget about her. No women's worth all the pain and anguish that goes along with em.

I really liked a girl and for almost a year I never told her what I my feelings for her where, after vacations we all went back to school and she started going out with the "cool kids" then I noticed that she was one of those idiots that follows the "people who play video games as much as me have no social life and should be seen as idiots" philosophy, so I stopped talking to her stoped caring about love life and started following the "all people are stupid" philosophy.

Yes, I had this and then he turned out to be a dolt, we got together, have been together for almost twelve years, and are married with two kids. So it could work out but wussing out with the self pity party might do more sabotaging than you expect. I had a similar deal in high school, it sucked and almost lost me the girl.

Hes only more better than you if you let him be better than you, as you are only as good as you let yourself be so quite frankly ditch the "hes better than me crap" and go out and get a girl.

As was once said to me "Dare to be great"

Stuff like this always happens but 9/10 times it just wasnt meant to be and usually works out for the best.

Yeah, that's pretty much it. One thing all women(perhaps people in general) don't respect is a man with no confidence. If there's things about you that make you a lousy man, change them. It aint much more complicated than that.

You misunderstood what I meant. I by no means think I'm better than anyone, but I don't view my worth in comparison to others. Are there people who are more skilled, more intelligent, more charismatic or charming? Of course, I'm not an idiot, but to say that these people are simply better than me is not how I choose to view things. I said to not believe anyone is better than you, as in to have a base level of confidence in your worth as a person, not to act like an almighty douche lord.

Mate the same problem happens to everyone at some point you need to do a few things: 1)Stop comparing yourself to other people. You'll make yourself depressed and it won't help you, no ones better or worse than yourself everyone is equal in the dating game. Yeah some people look better, have better prospects or are more the girls type. They're not better, just closer to what the woman is looking for. 2) You need to find out what the girl you want thinks of you. Do you and her flirt casually? Or do you watch her from across the room and rarely chat? Are you in the friend zone? If you flirt then patient, if you look at her from a distance and rarely talk to her, go and start! If you're in the friend zone it's not over, start meeting up just the two of you, be a gentleman. I find that whilst it's cheesy as hell, girls think it's cute or chivalrous, which is good. Aim for the flirt zone, then make your move. 3) Make sure you have the right girl, if you and her have nothing in common and can't hold regular conversation then move on because it won't work out. Regular conversation is things like news and you interests, not where people come from and getting to know them conversation, because you'll run out of topics to talk about. I've just met a girl I can chat to about anything and we have similar interests, we flirt, and I don't place her ex boyfriends on a pedestal, if anything you want to say you're better than they are because then you'll at least be giving yourself a boost. So assess the situation then pick you plan. If you have to wait then it sucks man, but if she's the girl you want you'll have to be patient odds are the other guy will cock up before too long. One last thing, BEWARE THE REBOUND!
