HOW TO LOSE A LOVE INTEREST IN 10 DAYS, HIGH SCHOOL EDITION

Picture this: someone takes interest in you. You hang out with them a few times, FaceTime here and there, are each other’s “#1 Best Friend” on Snapchat and even go exclusive. Then, a few weeks pass, and for whatever reason, they have got to go. The following points are, according to Miami Palmetto Senior High students, the best things to do in order to — politely, but quickly — get someone to lose interest in you.

Clingy is Key

The bottom line is: in order to get a person to lose interest in you without openly rejecting them, never leave them alone. Spam their Snapchat. Call them every night. Never let them out of your sight at school or in public. In most cases, this overbearing attention results in them losing interest in you and wanting to spend less time around you.

When You Are Together, Spend the Whole Time on Your Phone

People who only spend time on their phones while with others are generally considered rude. So, take advantage of this standard and annoy the person with an unrelenting attraction to your phone. Act as if there were a life-or-death situation occurring on your phone for the entirety of your time together, while in reality, you may just be playing games like “Candy Crush” or watching the latest episode of “Outer Banks.”

Do Not Let Them Hang Out With Their Friends More Than With You

It is important for one to spend time with their friends. So, in order to crack down and deter one from liking you, when they tell you they are going to spend some time out with friends, include yourself every time. No one likes to feel as though they have to share an entire social life with another person, and this will probably have your person of interest pretty annoyed.

Be Pessimistic About Meeting Friends and Family

On the other hand, refusing to socialize whenever a person of interest suggests meeting new friends or family members could also deter them from staying with you. For example, excessively complaining about meeting people or acting intentionally standoffish in social situations can make them feel frustrated with you.
