1. Acknowledge Your Defeat
You simply have to accept the idea that it’s not going to work out between the two of you. It doesn’t mean it’s your fault. Maybe your crush is already in a happy relationship or has just gotten out of one and doesn’t want to get involved with anybody. There could be many other reasons, but don’t let yourself think that it’s because of you.
2. Let Your Emotions out
Once you have acknowledged that there is no future for you and your crush you are going to be very emotional and this is going to make your life complicated. Thus, you need to get it out of your system. This is the most painful, but most efficient secret. If you want to cry, then cry. If you want to scream then scream. It’s crucial to get it of your system so you can start feeling free.
Frequently asked questions
3. Distance Yourself
Don’t let it completely change your social life, but it would be a good idea to stay away from your crush for some time, just enough to let your emotions settle. However, if you share the same group of friends don’t completely avoid them and still go hang out with them and have a blast.
4. Stop Thinking
It is important that you distant yourself not only physically, but also mentally. It means you have to stop thinking about your crush. The more you obsess about him, the more it is going to hurt you. So go read a book, watch a movie, do something that will fill up your mind with different thoughts.
5. Get Busy
Instead of wasting all that time on dwelling on your feelings, make yourself busy. Get involved in as many new activities as you possibly can. New yoga class? Good. New museum exhibitions in the city? Even better. Catching up on homework? Go for it! Once you have all these things to do, you just won’t have time to think about the object of your affection.
6. Open Yourself to the New Opportunities
Do things that you have been afraid to do before. Go traveling by yourself so you can meet new amazing people. Apply for an internship you have been dreaming about all your life. Change your job if you don’t feel like you are growing there. All these things will bring excitement into your life and will let you feel like you are a powerful and independent women.
7. Start Flirting
After being rejected by your crush you probably will be feeling a little down and upset. Don’t let these feelings cage you! Start going out and flirting with other people so they will flirt back to you and you will again feel desirable. Also, there is a great chance that you will meet someone else you like and what’s most important, someone who will also like you and that would be the final step in getting over your crush!
