Try find another love interest, pick up a hobby, remind yourself that she doesn't feel the same as you do. Sometimes it's best to just have a little cry about it. I find it helps you move on.

Keep a distance to the person and items/etc. that remind you about them, if possible. Take care of yourself; physically and mentally.

Get creative. Write, sing, dance, paint, talk, do whatever you can to let your emotions out in a constructive way. Unrequited love is hard, but you have to let yourself feel it in order for it to go away. Eventually, you grow to accept it and you'll move on, once all your emotion is expressed. Hang in there!

Your one-sided love is like keeping this secret deep in your heart. When you see the person you love you may not know what to say afraid of what they may sat to you. non verbal ques are showing but they are not picking up on what you want them to understand. it can't be easy so you have to work for it if you don't want them to slip away. But if you want to forget your one-sided love, helping others and distracting yourself can help. Keeping space between the two of you may be suggested.

Learn to love yourself first, and a balanced relationship will happen naturally. I had one-sided "love" for several years but I finally came to terms with it by getting closure through the person. I told them how I felt for so long and that I was sick of it. It was hurting me and holding me back and that I needed to move on. She didn't respond but I felt better after saying it and I felt like I could move on.

Try not to avoid your feelings, if at all possible. By intentionally not thinking about something, it is scientifically proven that we actually think about it more. Acknowledge your feelings, and recognize that they are ok. Take some time to process how you feel about everything that happened.

Try to find ways to distract yourself! Hang out with yout friends, maybe go to the movies or treat yourself to a nice dinner. Try to stay away from places you might accidentally meet them or even try to use as little social media as possible and get out of their way until you feel like it is safe for you to face them again! You got this!

Throw away anything that reminds you of them, delete screenshots of conversations between you and them, their pictures or any gifts they have give you. Learn to love yourself slowly and eventually you will find someone who will love you just as much as you love them

1) Work with your feelings
Whether you are still in love with your ex-partner, pushing someone who is making vague signals or rejecting you, it is important that you stop and process your feelings.
You may find that this is just a platonic madness, you may realize that you vehemently long for love because you are afraid of loneliness.
Even if it's not easy, look at the whole situation from a distance and try to determine what feelings you really have towards the person in question.
You may be surprised that you don't really want to live with the person, or this view will confirm that you are in love.
2) Focus on yourself
When was the last time you were happy? If in recent weeks you are devoting all your energy to someone who does not reciprocate your love, then it is high time for a change.
This is especially true when you have a difficult breakup and you still feel strong emotions about your ex-partner.
The reason some breakups are so painful is that most things and memories remind you of an expat. The only way to change this is to deliberately create new experiences that will give way to old memories.
Focus on your personal happiness, mental health and well-being. Also, don't be afraid to try something new. It doesn't matter if you start running or sign up for an online French course, the only important thing is that you invite new activities and experiences into your life.
Make time for friends and family
Unrequited love can flirt with the human psyche. If you are going through a difficult period of life, there is nothing to prevent you from asking your loved one for help.
If it helps, you can confide in them about the situation. You may find that in the past, others have experienced a relationship that is remarkably similar to your current problem.
Obviously, a friend or family member will not fill the emptiness you are currently feeling. Nevertheless, it is useful if you spend time with them ...
3) Don't blame yourself
If you love someone you can't have, you may be disappointed in yourself. You are sorry that you did not charm the person in question, or you blame yourself for not "keeping" your former partner.
Even if it's not easy, try to erase similar feelings from your head and instead be proud that you were open to love. The best solution is to accept reality and not think about the "what if" phrases unnecessarily.
4) Don't give up on love
One of the most effective ways to deal with unrequited love is to understand that you will find love again.
At the moment, you feel that you will never meet a better person, but realize that this person plays only a small, and often insignificant, role in the timeline of your life. Let the person go and make room for someone who really deserves your love.
