We&#8217;ll just stick onto the most compatible guy in our current environment, even if we like someone else who&#8217;s gone for a while.  I don&#8217;t know why this is; perhaps we feel we have to love something; it&#8217;s like an outlet for emotional energy.  Guys, who tend to get rid of emotional energy in physical ways&#8211;sports, harassing each other, etc.&#8211;don&#8217;t seem to have this problem.  Or perhaps they do, but we just don&#8217;t know about it.<\/p>\n<p>Because of all that stated above, I believe that if you&#8217;ve liked a guy once, you can again.  After all, unless he&#8217;s had a personality transplant or a lobotomy, he&#8217;ll still possess the qualities which made him compatible to you.  But he&#8217;ll probably also still have whatever qualities caused the relationship not to work out.  Therefore one should steer clear of previous likes&#8211;unless it was not he that made the relationship fall apart.<\/p>\n<p>This rule especially stands if you don&#8217;t like anyone else at the moment.  At the beginning of this school year, I almost started liking B again, but I caught myself just in time.  Now I just avoid him as much as possible.
