She won’t make time for you. She doesn’t return your texts/calls. She never reaches out to you to make plans. She says she likes you as a friend. She’s not interested in physical affection. She has told you that she’s not in love with you.

It can be helpful to say it out loud to yourself or a friend. You might say, “My relationship with Katie is over. Katie doesn’t love me. "

Cry if you feel like crying. Talk to your friends. Write in a journal. Comfort yourself with things you like, such as ice cream, hot baths, or movies.

Consider deleting her number from your phone to avoid calling/texting her. Stay away from places you know she is likely to be. This may mean missing out on certain parties or social gatherings, but it’s worth it. If you absolutely must see her (for instance, if you work together) keep your interactions brief and professional.

Spend less time on social media. Unfollow her on social media sites. Avoid visiting the pages of mutual friends. If you happen to come across her, quickly put your phone away (or close your laptop) and walk away. Don’t let yourself get sucked in.

You really shouldn’t be communicating with her anyway! If she reaches out to you, simply tell her, “I need to take a little space for myself right now. I don’t think we should be spending time together. "

You should also resist the urge to talk badly about her to mutual friends. It will only make you look catty. In the beginning, you might vent to a couple of close, trusted friends. Then try not to talk about her anymore.
