How to get over someone you never dated?

Moving on takes time. Firstly you need to accept that you can't be with them, and accept your feelings, try not to ignore them. Spending time with family and friends can help as you will start to feel that there is more to life than that person. Remember your self worth!!

The best thing to do here is to surround yourself with friends or things which make you happy. Laughing is a good way to help, but you also need to come to the realisation that you should either make a move or understand that what's not meant to be, is not meant to be.

Realise that it may be impossible for you and then to be together, and that it’s simply just a waste of time. One way I did it was that in my head I would think he was bad, and I know that’s horrible, but eventually I got over him and I found someone else x

The sting of what could have been, but never was can be very painful, especially in the case of unrequited love. It is important to own your feelings, they are real and legitimate. Talking to someone who will listen, and be compassionate can definitely help. Time is the ultimate cute. Try to keep your heart open, you never know your paths may cross again someday or you may meet someone who sweeps you off your feet next week that makes you happy that you were free to be with them. So let yourself grieve for the relationship that never was, but don't let it leave you so jaded you miss out on something truly amazing.

I know it must be hard to get over someone, especially a person whom you never dated. Because the cases might have been that we were on the verge of falling in love with them or were already in love but were not brave enough to make an effort towards it. They say, "Time heals gradually" and it indeed does. I know its a typical answer but having our concentration on those things make it worse. Rather try to divert your focus for the time being onto things that you want to prioritise and love doing. You can read your favourite books or go on a holiday or even take a short stroll to keep your mind of that person. Another way, i know this one is a bit brutal, but listing down that person's faults and things you hated about them and reading them aloud to you. It makes you detest them and speeds up the process of getting over them. Just remember one thing, if they never were your person of affection, so nor do they deserve a fragment of your attention. Talking about these feelings can help you as well.

give it time- the feelings will go away sooner or later. attempt to find someone to replace those feelings, if anything. it is possible to do this. in 10 years time, even much less than that, this person will be the last thing on your mind

There are many more people out there. It's not the end of the world. Just forget about the person and move on.

Block them out of your mind and only think of their negative qualities. Do not dwell on what could have been or things you could or said or done differently.Everything happens for a reason and if its meant to be, it will be.

It can be really difficult to detach yourself from feelings for someone that you were never really dating. Personally, I found that being around my friends and receiving reciprocated love helped me to realize what I deserved. It's important to make sure that you aren't giving more than you get back, especially when it comes to love.

This can be tough, but definitely doable! In the past, I have simply removed anything reminding me of that person and tell myself that he was toxic.
