Say hypothetically I've already shot my shot and was shot down, how would I go about getting over this (without rebounding to other people or whatever)?

Edit: Thanks everyone, for all the comments, support, and advice! Majority rules a tie between time and distractions lol. Seriously though thanks y'all

People say time and distractions and whatever else ... but the only advice that ever really helped me was a line from some character on a TV show I don't even remember:

"In my experience, to move on, you've actually got to move on."

In other words... Go meet new people, get a new crush, find the greener pasture.
