You get over someone you never dated the same way you get over someone you have dated; feelings do not depend on whether or not you dated. Honestly, I was in a love with this boy for so long, over a year to be exact, and we never dated. Meanwhile I got over my ex within 2 months. Keep yourself busy, make new friends and meet new people and just do what makes you happy! Happiness is the key to everything and soon you'll be over them.

Just know that there's always someone better. There will be someone that you will love for life and they will love you in return. It isn't the end of the world. It's a new beginning.'

Instead of focusing on them, continue to work on yourself. Over time, as you develop personally, you'll understand why your situation worked out the way it did, and why what you went through has taught you what you know now. You may still wish to have dated that person, but you'll likely be thankful that you didn't, so that you were able to learn from the experience.

I know how this feel, 100%. I liked this person since third grade and we talked here and there but it wasn't until his senior year that I told myself I should make a move. Sadly, it didn't really form anything I intended on wanting. But, we still talk here and there and are as close as we can be. I know that it hurt because I never had the chance with him. We got close but he chose to just be friends and I respected that and was glad we both decided on that. But, I know how you feel. It hurts because you thought they could be someone you could see yourself with, but it doesn't happen like that. Honestly, if you can keep them in your life like as friends then I wouldn't hesitate to do that. Even if you never have a dating relationship, the friendship is still something you want to value. It hurts a little bit because you care for them a lot greater than for a friend. But those things happen, and you will get through it, you just gotta tell yourself later down the road you'll be glad you had what you had even when you wanted something more.

meet new people. Now, this may seem like the most overplayed response but there's a reason why it is overplayed. When we like a person, it's about us and not them. It is a two way street when it is reciprocated but for now it's just about you and your mind that is showing you tunnel vision with this person. Your mind that is refusing to see the good in other people. Your mind that is comparing every other person to the person it likes. Get out there. Meet new people. Don't look at them like a potential lover. Enjoy yourself and I hope you are able to do this and realise the results. Most importantly, don't forget that forgetting someone is not an overnight process. Cheers.

Acknowledging that true love is mutual. This means if you've fallen for someone and they didn't return the feelings, it wasnt meant to be. Sounds a bit stupid and simple, but it is the truth. Think it this way: perhaps you could've gotten the person interested, but that relationship would certainly have a short expiration time anyways.

Write. And write some more. And then move on. Honestly, someone that doesn't realize how cool you are doesn't deserve your time! Take the love that you had for this person and spread it around. Mostly, forgive yourself.

Thats probably one of the hardest. Because of the distance. It gives you the possibility to project perfection on that person. No flaws. How can you give up perfection? Tough. But facts are facts. And we should always take them into careful consideration. The fact is, for whatever reason, theres distance. Law says: like attracts like, different repels different. Its no brainer if you believe this law.
