How do you get over a crush? (lemmy.world)

Say hypothetically I've already shot my shot and was shot down, how would I go about getting over this (without rebounding to other people or whatever)?

Edit: Thanks everyone, for all the comments, support, and advice! Majority rules a tie between time and distractions lol. Seriously though thanks y'all

Crushes tend to seem unattractive after you learn everything else about them.

Absolutely. You should go ahead and find out any little detail. It's best to follow them around so you don't miss anything.

To get over them, of course.

Non-intrusively at least. I didn't mean it like "pry into them" or anything. But it's safe to say that feeling a certain way about absolutely everything about someone is so unlikely that being too drawn to someone is most likely a sign of the other person's shallowness, whether that's intentional or not.

Right, so be super duper secretive about your observation of them.

If they notice you need to INSIST they’re just crazy and seeing things.

See if you can hire a private investigator
