Rio, do you talk to him, go out with him? I know about the confusion. I had a "boyfriend" in college, he'd ask me out to group events maybe two or three times a year and we'd have a marvelous time with very real adventures, the dates were wonderful. This went on for 2-3 years! But he never tried to kiss me, he never asked me out just with himself and me, never "pursued" me. I considered him my boyfriend though, found him convenient to talk about with other girls on my dorm floor, etc.

I think you'll "get over" him when you either approach him and talk to him and get to know him better, who he "is" (and whether he's got a girlfriend for real or is dating around, etc.) or, if you know all that, have had a relationship with him and know for sure it has ended, when you get interested in someone else. But if he's a "fantasy" like my college boyfriend I describe above, what does it hurt to have a crush on him (other than maybe taking your eyes off other possibilities)?
