10 Tips To Get Over Guy You Never Dated

Unrequited love sucks, right? It's ridiculous how you guys technically didn't date but you can't get over it. Don't worry, we've all been there at some point in our lives! There is always some part of you that hopes that the guy will change his mind but sometimes, it isn't meant to be... Here are our top tips for getting over a guy you have never dated.

# It's Okay To Feel Sorry For Yourself

Even if you never dated him, it's okay to feel a bit sorry for yourself and wallow in your feelings. Having a good cry in front of a romantic movie will do you a world of good, and treat yourself to your favorite ice cream. Getting over your idea of what could have been a perfect relationship is sometimes harder than getting over an actual relationship. Why? Because you can't get out of your head that you ALMOST had something perfect; it's all about wanting the unobtainable.

# Forget About Him

When you realize it's never gonna happen, the worst thing you can do is lock yourself up in your room and cry for weeks. It may seem impossible to get out of bed right now, but chin up, things will get better. What seems like the worst time of your life truly isn't. Stop obsessing about that guy you never dated and make the most of the change in your life. Get out and about! Visit new places, spend quality time with friends and family, plan an amazing vacation. Whatever you do, make it so amazing that you will have absolutely no time to focus on that guy!

# Realize It Wasn't A Realistic Relationship

It was never realistic - you thought that guy you never dated was pure perfection. Though we always think that our loved ones are absolutely perfect, we are only human. No one is perfect, not even that guy you love, and no matter how amazing he seemed to be. Putting him on a pedestal would have made for an unequal relationship, and therefore an unhealthy one. The sooner you realize that, the easier it will be to move on.

# Get Over It By Deleting Your Text History With The Guy

Sometimes, it's the simplest things that will help you turn over a new leaf. Looking back on those old texts, searching for signs that the guy that you never dated is just in denial and is actually infatuated with you won't help anyone. Slide and press delete, girl, and don't be tempted to go back down memory lane with old texts. A text message that you thought was a red flag may have been innocent for him. And to be honest it's kinda creepy to hold onto that kind of thing if there is nothing behind it. That's how to get over it!

# You Guys Never Dated

Yes, I know I'm stating the obvious, but sometimes you are just so into someone you forget that you guys technically never dated. Although it hurts so bad, you have to use your head, not your heart. Isn't it better to not be with someone who isn't into you anyway? Show him you know how to bounce back and get over that minor setback, and you can get on with the rest of your life! Not to be totally pessimistic about relationships, not at all, but when there isn't that connection, you have to deal with breakups, cheating, and arguments. Is it really all worth it? You deserve someone that loves you as much as you love them, and the best is yet to come. You won't regret that fact you guys never dated in the future!

# Get Over It By Not Trying To Reading Between The Lines

The guy already told you he's not interested, so stop looking for signs he's just scared to admit his feelings because he's an emotionless guy and he's in denial. You can't force someone to fall in love with you! Sadly, there is nothing you can do. It's his loss, and you will eventually find someone who is even more amazing. Falling for a guy who doesn't feel the same is a part of life that everyone has gone through, and unfortunately, you guys are no exception. You will slowly and surely get over him.

# You'll Laugh About It In The Future

Right now, it feels like you will never get over that guy, but you will feel utterly ridiculous when you look back in a few years' time. In your 20s you will have long forgotten about that high school crush that you never dated. When you are 40 that guy you stalked on social media in your 20s will have completely slipped your mind. Life's too short to be fixated on the negatives. Take it as a positive opportunity to learn what you fully want from a relationship.

# Mute The Guy You Never Dated On Social Media

Social media is a tricky thing. It is great for seeing what your loved ones are up to, but you can easily get the impression you know people from what they post. Even when you say you are over the guy you never technically dated, it's hard seeing him post photos looking hot, or having the time of his life. How can he be so happy when you are so miserable? Don't take it the wrong way, he isn't thinking of you. Instead of dreaming of a life that almost happened, get to muting (not unfollowing) that guy on social media. Why not unfollow? When you 're having a rough time on a night out, or you can't sleep at night, you will follow him again and come across as quite the stalker! Just hide him from your timeline for now, and live your life! This will seriously help you get over the situation!

# Get Over The Guy By Moving On

Just move on and get over it, literally. Have a girls' night out, flirt with that cute barman or that hunk who keeps making awkward eye contact with you that you have always politely ignored. Sometimes, you need a physical change in your life to move on. Give your undivided attention to someone new and not to that guy you never dated. Before long you will have long forgotten your unrequited love and what almost happened. The only way you'll move on is by actually getting started!

# Make Yourself A Sassy Playlist To Help You Get Over It

Nothing gets you readier for the day ahead, and nothing makes you more confident, than a sassy girl-power playlist. Get on Spotify and make sure you add a heck of a lot of feel-good songs. Put it on before going on a girls' night out, or before you have to see the guy you never dated at work or school. You can walk with confidence, without stopping and staring at him!
