How to get over a relationship that never happened?

So a year ago, I reconnected with an old friend of mine who lives a couple hours away from me and we became really close. We talked everyday and eventually I developed feelings for her. The thing is, I never told her because one, I m a girl (she probably wouldn t see me like that), and two, she had feelings for someone else -a guy. Anyways, I realized later on that (obviously) the feelings were one sided -which doesn t make sense because I swear I sensed something from her -and so I started distancing myself away from her and we ended up not speaking and I haven t spoken to her since. Recently, I found out that she just got into the same college I will be attending this fall and I don t know what to do. A part of me thinks my old feelings are coming back and that I ll have a second chance at her, but another part wants me to just get over her. How do I do that and what do you think I should do?

    Unless you know your friend wants to engage in a lesbian relationship, please do nothing that will cause her to coil and abandon the friendship all together. Continue being cordial with her and do not push the relationship into a romantic one because if she was interested in you that way, you would know it by now.

    So, how to get over it? Convince yourself that she is just your friend. If you find yourself fantasizing about her, stop yourself dead in your thoughts!! If you must, avoid her at all costs as you need to preserve your emotional state of mind.
