Dear Chasing,

Oh, how I can totally relate to you in this situation!!  I am missing a friend terribly too right now!  I can tell you that the pain will pass with time. First of all, i'm glad you don't hate the girl he likes.  Just because he liked someone else gives you no reason to hate her and some other girls have a hard time realizing that.  Now, your original question was what you should do to get your mind off of him.  I'm glad you said that and weren't just complaining that he moved to Colorado.

First of all, STAY WHERE YOU ARE! :) don't move just because he did.  Despite your feelings for him.  There was a REASON that God made your friend move.  There is a reason for everything.  You said your heart was broken.  Maybe God took him away from you in order to prevent worse heartbreak later!  Maybe he wasn't the one for you and God was trying to keep you apart.  Or maybe he IS the one for you, but God knows that you need separation before you can be together.  Those are just guesses and I can't tell you what is God's will in this situation.  But, nevertheless, you get the picture.  He moved for a reason.

I wouldn't be sad that you missed the chance at a relationship with him.  When we have friendships with boys, we shouldn't be hoping that all of them bloom into relationships.  Us girls need to learn to be content with the friendships we have with boys and not constantly be looking for relationships in every boy we meet.  And just because he liked someone doesn't mean you can't write to him or call every once in awhile!  Send him emails, try to keep in touch.  Be a FRIEND, not a wanna-be lover.  But people change, remember, and if you lose touch, don't be surprised.  It happens all the time.  Just continue to be a friend.  Who knows? Maybe ur friendship with him will survive despite the long distance.  I'm trying to be realistic and positive here, sorry.

To stop thinking about him...i don't know if thats entirely possible.  Things will pop up that will make you remember him.  But if you try to focus on other things such as your other friends (don't forget them!), your family, school, your goals, etc. maybe your mind will be distracted for awhile.  At random times of the day though, like when your mind has nothing to think about, you may think of him.  That's not wrong. Its natural to think of someone you miss often.  Just don't let him and your thoughts of him take over your life.

Miss Weird,
       I am missing my friend terribly!!  He is moving to Colorado!!  Today (12-12) was his last day of school.  I miss him, because I think I like him.  I mean, he was funny, nice, smart..the perfect guy on Earth.  The worst part was, I got my heart broken before I even got my chance.  I wish to be with him, I really do, we were friends, but I am really not sure.  He likes this really pretty girl, who's more popular than me.  I don't hate that girl, but I'm not exactly best friends with her either.  What should I do to get my mind off of him?  I want to move to Colorado with him!
