Step 1
Realize that unrequited love isn't really love. True love is a give-and-take relationship between two people. If you're doing all the giving while she's doing all the taking, then the basis of your relationship is attraction, not love.
-
Step 2
Analyze your attraction to the object of your unrequited love. Ask yourself if you're truly in love with him or if you merely love many things about him. If your answer is the latter, then remind yourself that you can find most or all of these qualities in another person who will love you back.

Step 3
See a therapist or read books on the subject of attachment. Sometimes people who repeatedly find themselves in an unrequited love scenario discover that they have issues with commitment or attachment. Deal with these problems now so you can have good relationships in the future.
-
Step 4
Detach yourself from your unrequited love interest. Spend time at places where you can meet other single people with whom you have something in common.
-
Step 5
Recognize that your unrequited love may make your crush uncomfortable. She may feel a sense of obligation or pity towards you. Letting go is better for both of you.
