That would be situational, but if there is no obvious or declared reciprocation, if they seem disinterested, preoccupied with someone else or there is no real chemistry, all good reasons to stop thinking of them in that fashion

@DanielChristensen Do you think there is any way to stop thinking of them in that manner without breaking ties with them completely?

@Zer0Point That would be difficult. Heart wants what it wants.The chase is intoxicating. We often fancy someone who doesn't feel the same. It would probably be the best course to sever association, but some like to hang onto the hope they will somehow come around.

Perhaps your average person would find this exceedingly difficult to achieve whilst retaining associations, but I believe a mature, realistic person can grasp and accept the reality and still value a friendship
