How to Get Over That One Person (The One You Never Dated)

It’s strange, isn’t it?
How someone can leave such a deep mark on your life… without ever being officially part of it.

You weren’t together.
There were no anniversaries, no photos, no breakups.
Just conversations that lingered too long.
Glances that felt like confessions.
Moments that made you wonder: “What if?”

But somehow, the ending still hurts.

Maybe it hurts more precisely because nothing ever began.
There’s no closure. No reason.
Just a quiet grief for something that almost was.

And that kind of heartbreak? It’s real.
Because feelings don’t need permission to exist.
They don’t wait for labels or commitments.
Sometimes, the “almost” is enough to break your heart.

So how do you get over someone who was never yours?
