How do you deal with rejections after crushing on someone for months?

1. If you’ve been crushing on someone for months and you get rejected, it’s tough. You might feel embarrassed, sad, or even angry. But try to remember that it’s not the end of the world. There are plenty of other people out there who would love to date you. So don’t take it too personally, and move on.

   At least in my experience, I have to grieve the image of the relationship I wanted with the person, grieve the fact that things aren’t going to go that way and that my love will not be reciprocated. How fast I cycle through denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance has depended on the crush and the rejection.

   When they were friends, I had to honestly tell them that I would be a bit more distant for a few months, so I have time to heal. I didn’t take proper distance with one friend and that made things harder honestly. When it was someone I was seeing casually, I just broke contact honestly, since it’s not like we had a deep friendship to begin with
