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

I think that doing some soul searching and determining if the friendship you have with the person is something you can continue healthily is a big thing a lot of people don't do. Then just taking time and distracting yourself with other positive interests that help you feel good about yourself so you don't do the why aren't I good enough spiral. Other than that just making sure you don't continue to push the issue or guilt the person for not wanting a romantic relationship
