How to get over someone you never dated?

You have to come to terms that this person was never yours to begin with. Then you need to be more open minded about finding a distraction like taking up a hobby or going on a blind date or just have a night out with friends and someday you'll wake up and you won't wish they had been yours and then you'll have succeeded.

On an emotional level our brain makes no difference between "in real life" and "online". This happens because when our feelings are real, our reactions are physical (and real). The way to get over someone you never dated, both in real life and online, is to make yourself stronger. Reinforce your self image, generate ideas, dare to sparkle. From time to time ask yourself what you liked much about that person and try to absorb that feature if it's healthy and makes you feel worthy. Live the present, meaning you have to be present and enjoy your now, without trying to hold on the past.

This is a hard one for me to answer because it hits close to home. I ask myself this at least a billion and twelve times a week and yet I've never come up with a great answer... So now I'll try and face the music and give a good answer. You'd think it'd be easier getting over someone who's never actually been yours, false. If you've been through this you know, its a million times harder. The transition between calling someone your own to not calling them at all can be quick and easy. The transition between calling someone yours in your heart to realizing they don't think the same thing is the hardest thing ive ever done. For me I can't give a honest answer because ive yet to figure it out. But I've learned a lot in the three years its taken me just to come to the conclusion that he wasn't ever really MINE to begin with. One thing ive learned is they aren't feeling the same thing as you, because in their heads nothings changing. It's just going back to the old friendship things. But inside our heads its like a million moons just crashed into our oceans and Mercury is always in retrograde. It sucks. But that makes it easier to move on, thinking the emotions are one sided. Even though it hurts like heck. Another thing ive learned is, if they wanted you to be theirs in a dating sense, they would've already made that move. If they haven't, as much as it may pain us to think of it this way, they obviously don't think of us that way. And thats fine! It can be tough but with time I think our wounds begin to heal and our emotions eventually subside. And thats all I have for this question, its not much but I hope it helps:)

The best way to get over someone you have never dated is to simply just distract yourself. Find a hobby, find and explore new interests and focus on more important things such as school. Patience is key. It will surely take a long time but it is worth it. Distracting yourself and doing other things is a great way to spend your time than worrying and thinking about that someone a lot. Additionally, if you haven't already, go and talk to them and find and look for a closure from that someone. It will be really relieving and you will feel free after clarifying everything with that certain someone first. Remember, it takes time.

This can be difficult, but you should always keep in mind that’s it will end in the best for both of you. Keep a positive outlook and remain control. Even if you only ever imagined a platonic friendship with them, it may not be what you need in your life right now, and moving on from this area can help you become more involved in your own choices, and live your life as stress free as possible, especially if this person was bringing negativity, stress or other features into your life, that aren’t something you can handle right now.

write about them. write all of your feelings, all the fun times you have had together, all the laughs, the jokes, the texts, whatever you find important. possibly even a drawing of them. whatever helps you get out your emotions and creativity into a physical form. crumble up the paper then unfold it. it’s less harsh, the paper gets softer the most and more you crumble it. if you truly want to rid yourself of it, rip it into pieces or burn it. if you’d like to look back on how you felt, crumble the paper a final time and put it in a box or notebook. shut it far away. that way you can safely release your emotions without hurting anyone or yourself.

Personally I have had to deal with that before. It was very hard because we talked often and I got attached, but I accepted the fact that we could not be and moved on. It took me a while to accept it, but I managed. I am proud of myself for having moved on, because in life there are better things to be focused on rather than to be focused on the person. Life continues and at the end of the day, what matters the most is yourself and how you are feeling. To feel happy and content leaving all of the negative and bad connections behind.

Codependency is when a person is dependent on another person to fulfill a need. Over a period of time it can be easy for a person to become attached to another person to provide feelings of ease and comfort. Something about this person provided you with that sense of ease and comfort and over time I am assuming you have gotten dependent on this feeling. To live without this is going to be challenging but it is possible. Start by finding ways to provide self-love, ease and comfort for your own well being. Part of being independent in life and growing consists of loving ourselves so we don't become co-dependent on others.

Learn to love yourself and research unrequited love if that is the situation. It is a concept that will make sense about being in love with someone who doesn’t want you back. Loving yourself is something that is necessary for a healthy relationship with anyone and will allow you to be okay when you are alone or denied. We all struggle with self-love and should work on this constantly in our lives. When you fall in love with someone that you have never dated, getting over them can be the same as getting over a normal relationship. Trying to put things in perspective and looking into the future may help as well.

It's similar to getting over a breakup, you have to acknowledge, accept and mourn the loss of a relationship you never had. It's hard to get through but once you accept that they aren't "the one" it becomes easier, it also becomes easier with certainty and clarity so discussing with the person to make sure they don't feel the same can assist in moving on. Taking time for and care of yourself, taking interest in other people and putting yourself out there. Also mentally reminding yourself and associating that person as a friend in attempts to try and not view them romantically
