How can I get over someone I can't have?

Back in 2019, a girl smiled at me in Barnes and Noble and I've think about her a lot. I have pictured scenarios where I end up with her but I know I can't have her. I don't know anything about this girl, she was a random stranger. I want to stop obsessing over her. I picture various relationship scenarios with girls usually my age to two years younger, I had thought this girl could be my age but I know she might not be. I want to stop thinking about her. What do I do?

I shared a post realting to such experiences as yours, on experience project.

The title of the post was A brief counter; unless I am mistaken.

Some brief encounters mark a special place in your heart, unforgettable indeed. Not everyone is meant to stay for a longer period in your life.

She likely is taken by now, and pumped out a few kids and has a mortgage, and voted for the candidate you despised. Time to look for someone similar in looks.
