So, what did you do to get rid of your feelings for someone? [View All]

I know, the cliche answer is always "The best way to get over someone is to get under someone." And in fact I did get under someone 2 nights ago. But that doesn't really have any real impact on my feelings for someone else.

This is regarding a person I have known for about 2 1/2 months and I have talked to about 8 times. I want to get closer, but they seem perfectly content with just keeping it at an "acquaintance" level. I don't feel any need to ask directly, I can tell by their lack of action or initiative that they don't want to spend any significant time with me.

What works? To just get rid of your feelings for someone, so that it doesn't affect you emotionally? So that, even if you see that person and talk to them, it won't affect you and build up those feelings again? Is there something I can do to just "purge" it? What worked for you in the past?
