  • Admit you had a Crush not Love – Don’t start thinking that it happened because something was less in you. If you start thinking about the reasons regarding why you were rejected – then you would be nothing but harming yourself. Give time to yourself neither you can be 1 more Romeo/Juliet.
  • Don’t stay alone – This is the most dangerous thing you can do – this can make you feel more sad. Instead go out with your friends/try attending some parties (Ex – NightClubs). Or Focus on your other interests
  • Move on –  GO OUT FROM YOUR HOUSE!Remember it was just a crush no matter it was for long or no matter how strong it was.
  • Memories – When you start remembering the good times you had with your crush, immediately start focusing on some other things. (Ex-Move out from that room & sit in the room where your parents/cousins are, Play games, Work a bit).
  • Be Honest – Tell them about the crush. It will make you feel relaxed and you wont sleep with a heavy heart.
  • Avoid anger – They didn’t do anything wrong and getting angry on them might lower down your respect especially in front of them and your other friends. It’s a fact that is not there fault that they are not attracted to you.
  •  Understand that it was good that it happened now – Think if you both would have broke up when you both would have went in a strong friendship/relationship.
  • It’s not intelligence to keep hoping that they will one day feel the same – Cmmon you are not in love…It was just a crush!!!
  • Instead of dreaming about how great things could have been with your crush, GO PICK SOMEONE ELSE – You’ve have probably dreaming about them from a long time. Its time to stop dreaming!
  • Avoid all eye contact – Don’t stare at them not at all.
  •  Maintain some type of distance – If you are near to your crush many things can happen (OLD MEMORIES/MORE ATTRACTION), so avoid. If the person is near either go somewhere else or continue your normal activities.
  • Remember that this person is not the end of the World – There are more Hot people in this World! 
  • Go to the gym and work out. Get your mind off of it and feel better about yourself.
  • Make an exciting change to make you feel sexy. Treat your self to a hair-cut, or a new outfit. Make yourself feel confident.
  • Erase his/her name anywhere you might have written it – (Ex – Your notebook, your laptop wallpaper, on your bedsheet etc.). This happens a lot of times in your crush.
  • Learn from the experience and come out stronger.

Some Tips:

  • If you are upset after finding out they don’t like you, talk to someone you trust, like a friend or counselor, about how you feel. Tell them how you’re hurt and ask for advice. Holding things in makes you depressed, and that can make everything much worse.
  • Do not listen to love songs or slow songs. It can cause you to become sad.
  • You have to remember that your crush for a boy/girl will just come and go. And if you kept thinking about him/her, just say this to yourself “There is not only one but many fishes in the water.”
  • Don’t jump into another serious friendship too soon. Date for fun, date someone you normally wouldn’t have been interested in, have some fun as a single person. Seeing that there are plenty of people out there who want to be with you will help you move on and feel better about yourself.
  • Don’t let your self-esteem drop. You are still a wonderful person who deserves to be loved; this just wasn’t the one who could love you in that way. You will find many though who can. So keep faith in yourself!
  • Don’t talk to them when you’re under the influence of alcohol. You will say something you regret.
