Thankfully, a couple of my friends did get their crush or now wife after they got their diploma, jobs and big trucks.

>Meme about doing "zero moves"
Rejected 7 times by her, politely and calm way, didn't even tell me to get away or that she needed time, she knew what she wanted and what she did not want and how far with who and why, she never got fed up or tired with me despite the repeated attempts across years and the obvious notion that I was going to try again later after I confessed a second time, she didn't play no mind games either, no mixed signals or teasing, no lovebombing behavior, she is just a really nice woman all-around, I was the one retrying at a steady pace. She, understandably just treated me as a close friend and never liked me in any other way and despite everything doesn't hate me or feels odd about me to this day.
Look, I just... gave up. Last confession. Was several years since the first one by that point and again, no hard feelings, no hate. I didn't want to make her feel weird anymore, if she ever felt weird about me trying a couple times I couldn't tell, and I realized my place too and what our relationship really is. My place is not in her heart.
I didn't even cry anymore or feel down later, brain processed the situation, gave up right after that final heartfelt.
Thankfully, I never got to the point of taking or downloading photos or stalking her socials or any other hopeless weirdo far gone behavior so now I just greet her if I see her on the street, light talk and that's it currently since we have been way busy with our careers. The hopeless pursuit is finally over. It's better this way. Yes.
>"You still-"
I consciously decided to give up. You can stop yourself from doing things, trying things, following up with things you do or that you still want to do or get. I suggest you do that if you find yourself trying to get or acquire that which you can only get if you weren't you that has been, is and will be ever.
