I don't know why people suggest you need counseling, if that is based on the OP only.
You aren't working with him anymore and you think you like him. He isn't contacting you. All you need to do is contact him and ask him if he is interested in meeting up.
But, you say you want to get over him. That's 'easy', as you will never see him again. Just wait long enough and you'll forget about him as he is no longer in your life.
If you are really unreasonably obsessing over him, creating a imaginary person out of him, then maybe you could benefit from counseling.
Don't know where the bit about losing self-respect comes from. Liking someone a lot than is probably healthy isn't the same as losing self-respect, right?

I think the suggestion of therapy and working on self respect come from the fact that op already gave him her number and expressed interest but he never called. It's been at least few months. I think it's the same guy.
It's probably wise to forget about him. It also most likely comes from previous posts about other males who didn't reciprocate.
Without knowing op in person it's hard to tell why ( my guts are telling me that these are wrong guys to pursue).
Hence the advice to seek therapy to explore why one keeps getting interested in these types of men or if op misinterprets signs etc it's hard to tell what's going on. I think that's why people talk about self respect and therapy.
Just liking a guy isn't unhealthy.
