Even if you really like a guy, you don't want your relationship with (or crush on) him to rule your life. If you want to keep your distance, here are some ways to keep from obsessing over a guy.

1. Don't tell your friends about your crush:  If you tell them, they will encourage this influence. For example, they often will nudge you when he walks by or spread newly acquired gossip about him. If you want to get over a guy, it's best not to have your friends constantly pushing you in his direction.

2. Make friends with lots of other guys: Not to make him jealous, but to meet other people

3. Take up a hobby, Something else to occupy your mind. You have a life outside of this guy, so explore it! Get to know the world around you.

4. Keep your perspective: He is not the start or the end of the world.

5. Get off the computer: Although looking through the boy's myspace or facebook profile may seem harmless, this just increases the obsession and becomes a habit. Do not get in the habit of 'cyber-stalking' as it can lead to more problems than it started with. Healthy relationships do not revolve around computers and social networking sites, they begin with face to face interaction

6. Try not to think about them as much: It may be hard to not think about him/her, but not thinking about them helps. Every time you think about them your obsession remains. Instead of thinking about them, think about other things and if you absolutely can't stop, then think about their flaws.

7. Get a diary and write about your obsession to get it out of your mind.
