Long story short, he just wants to be friends.

He does care about me and he can't help his feelings. He told me he saw me as a close friend and being in a relationship with me didn't feel right. 

I don't know what to do. I wish things were different and part of me hopes he'll change his mind and realize it was a mistake. 

He's on my mind all the time and I just want to message him and talk. It's driving me crazy. 

I wish there was a magic wand that would make this feeling go away and I was over it. 

I'll get over it, in time. It's just so hard. I thought this was different.

How can I get over this and move on? Besides the normal, "keep distracted and keep yourself occupied" stuff. I'm trying this and will continue to but it doesn't feel like it's working. 

There must be a different way to approach this. I don't expect to wake up tomorrow and be over it, I'm just looking for a different way to approach this and maybe some coping techniques that will actually work for me.
