How do I get over him?

Hello everyone. I feel stupid and childish for asking this question, so please bear with me.

I’ve asked about this boy before eyeroll but I seriously cannot get over him. He isn’t destroying my life or anything, the only thing he is affecting is my dating life.

Background: So there was a guy, Ryan, in my college course who I thought was showing signs of being interested in me. I asked him out, we went on what I thought was an awesome date. Afterwards he never called me to go on another. I asked him again, he took a week to answer and said yes. By then I was busy, so he said he would let me know when he can again. Never heard from him again. I honestly think he felt bad for me and that’s why he said yes the first time…

Out first date, I felt was perfect. It was nothing fancy but we just clicked. He made me laugh, there was never an awkward silence. It just felt like we had known each other forever. We had so many similarities. Now, whenever I go on a date with a new guy, it’s just not the same. They don’t make me laugh like Ryan did. There’s always an awkward silence and I don’t know how to relate to these new dates. I just wish I had never asked Ryan on a date. That way my expectations on these new dates wouldn’t be so high.

I’ve never been the girl to obsess over a guy… it has always been I could live with him I could live without him… I’d be happy either way. And it’s stupid because I’ve only been on one date with him. I barely know him!

What should I do?! Will I always like him?
