For many months I had this FP that was so sweet at first but ended up being very bad for me. 

I consciously *knew* I *should* stop liking him - but I didn't. I thought he was *perfect*, that *no one else* would ever make me feel this way again. 

When he started a relationship I had a moment of clarity when I could finally see how ridiculous I was being, how false my perception of him had been, and I did make significant improvements moving past it. But a little bit always lingered.

That is, until this past weekend when I met a guy I really like on a dating app. I found someone "better" to crush on and it's like the previous crush never meant anything to me at all. 

I hate that can't I ever completely get over someone, not want them in any way, and just go back to living my life without having to transfer those feelings to another person. How do I just extinguish them?
