So, i told the girl i like about my feelings about her. She said she's not ready for a relationship and she doesnt want to ruin our friendship. And i cant just stop crying ever since that. We still talk, but it feels so weird when i know she cant be mine. She's in the same class as me, means i see her every day, which makes it harder to move on. I too, wanna keep our friendship, but i need to move on and get over this feeling.. How do I?

Even though you share a class. You need to take a step back , don't engage in conversation. You need time to wrap your head around the fact that shes just not wanting a relationship.

Friendships can happen between you both, but its too fresh to raw for you right now. Give yourself some time. It will get easier .

I agree with what Christina said (I usually do.)

I would step back and limit interactions with the girl and turn your attention to something else in your life as much as you're able.

In my experience, the kind of feelings we experience after a romantic rejection have a specific "shelf life" or length of time that they will exist. You are grieving now and then you will begin to heal from the loss.

It's a painful feeling, but it's nothing to be embarrassed about and it won't last forever. It's okay to let yourself experience the feelings fully.

Welcome to PC! I'm sorry you're hurting. I also agree that putting some distance between you and this girl will get you on the road to feeling better much faster. Take care. xo

When a relationship ends, it’s tempting to dwell on what you did wrong or what you could have done differently. This might seem productive—like you can somehow change things by rehashing it. You can’t.
All dwelling does is cause you to suffer. When you start revisiting the past in your head, pull yourself into the moment. Focus on the good things in your current situation: the friends who are there for you and the lessons you’ve learned that will help you with future relationships.
It might help to tell your friends to only let you vent for ten minutes at a time. That way you’re free to express your feelings, but not drown in them.
