<human>: Okay. F 20, M 22. I met someone who made me think differently. It was weird, but this person, despite not being my "type" or being traditionally remarkable, stuck out to me. It was great for a while. In my head, the only thing imperfect about the situation is the new person's unwillingness to try things out--it could all be idealistic fabrication, though, and maybe I just don't want to accept the fact that it could just be that they aren't interested in me in that way anymore, despite previous indications. Maybe it wasn't great and I'm just romanticizing it.

I have no clue, but I don't want to talk to this person about it because I don't like beating a dead horse. The time has passed for discussion on that topic without it becoming awkward. It's hard to keep a level head when everyone feeds you the old "just give it time and it'll work out if it's meant to" line. I don't want to wait. Why do I feel this way? The person has nixed any chance of a relationship (though there was initial interest, it waned due to circumstance and what have you), and I've tried to be practical and stay the course and be friends, but it's proving far too difficult. I don't want to cut them off because I've come to really appreciate our friendship, but it's so painful sometimes that it's ridiculous and it makes me feel stupid.

At this point, I just want to get over them completely and live my life, especially when I'm nearly completely certain that the feelings are not returned and that they only speak to me because they think that they broke my heart and feel guilty. I pride myself on being logical, but for whatever reason I can't find it in myself to view this situation objectively. How does one move past something like this? I want them to still feel like they have a friend in me. I just don't know if I can be there as much as I have been if I'm going to move on completely and come to terms with the situation in its reality.

Provide a brief overview of the text.
<bot>: I really, really need to get over someone. It's long overdue. How do I do so without offending/alienating the person or telling them the reasons for my withdrawal from frequent contact?
