Don’t Stalk Them on Social Media
One of the most important things you should do if you want to calm down your obsession with boys is to avoid stalking the guys you like on social media. Actually, stalking someone on social media is one of the easiest ways to fuel an obsession. If you want to stop thinking about someone, try to avoid looking at their pages; you know that phrase, “out of sight, out of mind."

Get a Hobby
If you want to avoid thinking about someone, then try to keep yourself busy. And what better way to do this than by finding a new hobby that will distract you from your obsession? You could start participating in an activity that you always wanted to try, like gardening or horseback riding. Try whatever you like and whatever makes you think about something else.

Take a Short Vacation
Maybe you don’t have the time or the money to take a two-week vacation and forget all about that boy who is constantly on your mind. But even a two-day escape will help you think about something else. You could go on a city break or you could spend a relaxing weekend at a family cottage. Just do something that will make you feel good about yourself.

Remind Yourself of Their Flaws
Everyone has flaws, even those who you think are so perfect. If you can’t stop thinking about someone, try to picture their flaws and remind yourself that they are also human and that maybe, if you got to know them better, you would even realize that you don’t like them so much after all.

To give oneself earnestly to the duties due to men, and, while respecting spiritual beings, to keep aloof from them, may be called wisdom.
Meet New People
If you want to get rid of that unhealthy obsession over that guy you fancy, try to meet new people, especially new guys who might even help you forget about your obsession. I’m not saying that you should make them jealous. Just get out more and have fun.
