<human>: A while back I developed a serious crush for this girl I knew, and I eventually asked her out. This was several months ago. Her response to me at the time was "I'm not really ready for a relationship right now, and either way I would have to get to know you better." I've never been in a situation like this before (this was actually the first time I'd ever really had a serious crush or asked a girl out), so it was a bit confusing, especially at first.

Fast forward to several months later, I don't think she is mad at me or anything, she is still her usual friendly self around me and seems to want to still be friends with me (within our group at least). I want to be able to be on good terms with her as well, but I find it kinda difficult/confusing. Despite my best efforts to get over her, I still find it a somewhat difficult to be around/see her. I know it's kinda stupid because we never were in a relationship or anything, but I was naive and fell for her pretty hard originally. So even just if she looks at me and smiles it is really hard for me to look at her and smile back. I don't want to send the message that I'm mad at her or anything. I wish I didn't have these emotions any more and things could just be back to normal between us again. Is there any advice you guys can give me? Thanks.

Can you give me a shortened version of the text?
<bot>: Had huge crush on girl, asked her out, got rejected (for now anyway). She seems to want to be friends still, but I still struggle with feelings. Want to know how to just be "normal" friends again.
