Five years ago, I dated a girl I met on a blind date. We dated for about 4 or 5 months, then the relationship kind of fell apart when she was having severe emotional problems at home and didn’t feel stable enough to stay in a relationship (I was dumped). Some time later, we talked more and are now good friends. I loved her very much, almost to the point of infatuation. My best friend dated her for a time as well, which was difficult for me to deal with, because I’ve known she liked him for years. The point I’m trying to make here is, I feel like I haven’t gotten over her. She’s a huge flirt, even though we are friends, so it is difficult. We’ve been through a lot and gotten through hard times, but despite things now I know I have a 0% chance of getting over her. Its a problem that’s rather distressing for me; and also feels like a tragedy that I had fallen in love with such a fickle heart 
Do not dispair. We all have someone in our lives like that, for some reason we cannot turn them loose in our thoughts. It’s always the ''if" situation.
Don’t beat yourself up, move on, and just deal with the memories and the ‘ifs’ as best you can. It gets easier with time.
Keeping your feelings tied up with someone unattainable keeps you from having a relationship with someone else.
Move on.
You’ll find it very difficult to think of her when you head over heels with someone else.
I know where you’re coming from. I had a situation where a relationship ended and I just couldn’t get over the girl. A big part of it was that I saw her every now and again. Of course every time I saw her it only brought all the old feeling to the surface.
You say she’s a friend, an if that’s the case I think it’ll be very difficult for you to ever get her out of your head. As hard as it is, try not to see her, mention her, hear about her, etc for a while, and maybe things’ll calm down a bit for you.
Time & distance can do wonders. Only my .02
They’re right. I’m in a wonderful relationship now, but before that there were these two girls that I just couldn’t get out of my head/heart. I still talk to them now, but I no longer have that romantic feeling towards them.
In short, but yourself out there and get caught up in someone else.
Yes. Get yourself out of this vicious cycle. You see, when I was younger, so much younger than today, I fell in love with an unnatainable person. Seven months later, she left for home - she was an exchange student from Germany (insert Smacky here), and I was left behind without even telling her about what I felt. Depression is a nasty, nasty thing, especially when it sparks pretty hard long-term self-esteem issues.
I got over her in good time, and am now floating in a sort of love purgatory. The Atlantic Ocean and time heals all wounds, but I sometimes wonder if I could ever get so absolutely devoted to another person like I was with her.
If you value your sanity, let her go.
