I am assuming that you want to stop the pain of loss but that this is someone you really don't want to "get over." If that is the case, you probably will never entirely "get over" the person, because we tend to be martyrs to our own feelings.
I think that the most important step is to accept the loss. This site is overrun with people who refuse to do that. Just read the threads. They're a mess.
Poi . . . er . . . Miss Fisk and Fox888 have suggested the most useful coping strategy, but that's to dull the pain while you come to terms with the facts.
You deal with it by really accepting those facts: that person is gone, and they are not coming back, your fond hopes notwithstanding. None of this, "We'll always have Paris," crap. Gone. Done. Finis.
You accept it, cast that person into the mists of the past and move on.

I have feelings for someone that I know is not going to work with. Just wondering, how everyone else gets over someone? I spent the last week working out more than usual but I also have been avoiding friends
