How to stop lusting after my attractive female friend?

[Anonymous]

Me and this girl have been friends for a long time now. I liked her from the start and told her my feelings, however she friend zoned me. We are still friends but I can stop lusting over her. Since I don't have any chance of romantic relationship with her, I strongly feel that I should stop lusting as it is harmful to our friendship. I have tried a lot of stuff but it doesn't work. Also she is a bit too comfortable with me and her being really touchy with me isn't helping the situation either.
What should I do?

I'm hoping that you're friends because of the friendship. Otherwise I'm gonna send an angry smiley.

I've been in the same situation a couple times. Just keep telling yourself that you're bot interested and enjoy their conpany for who they are. Enjoy having that friend. It's weird to me to have sex n stuff with friends (not talking about friends with benefits). I also tell myself that I have no chance with her and that I'm not someone you wanna have sex with to begin with.

So I kinda focus on the rules of normal and focus on how she does not want me at all. Why should I go after someone if that person is not interested whatsoever.

Maybe tell her to be less touchy. You can say that you don't really feel to comfortable about it. Or use the pandemic as an excuse if you can't bring yourself to do it. Maybe take a little break from her and work on yourself a bit. Then try again. There are some options, but most require a lot of dedication and practice

You're not friends. You're fooling yourself. And wasting your time. Move on
