How to get over one-sided love?
I am a 23 year old Indian boy living in New Delhi, India. About a year and half ago, I met an 18 year old Cuban-American girl, based in Miami, on Facebook. We started chatting and became very good friends. She calls me her best friend and we have audio-video chat sessions sometimes. We always keep fooling around with each other on Facebook too. My problem is that I have fallen head-over-heels in love with her but she just thinks of me as her best friend. My whole family knows about her and my mother and sister have even spoken to her and even her mother and brother have spoken to me. I always get up in the morning and check my Facebook account to check her messages. God knows how badly I want to go to Miami to meet her. Yesterday, I was chatting with her and I told her that I was going to take a special calling card on my mobile phone so that I could call her every weekend. To this she told me not to waste my money as she would continue chatting with me on Facebook and MSN for free. Money is not a concern for me when it comes to her, I just want to hear her voice. Yesterday only she was also chatting with my cousin at the same time and I got to learn from my cousin that she was going to go out on a date with a boy that night. And it really shattered my heart. I am at a very important stage of my career, as in I am doing MBA and will also be appearing for CFA Level 1 in June next year. But I am not able to concentrate on my studies, which should be my first priority now. All day I just keep thinking about her and feel hurt at the very thought of imagining her with another boy. Sometimes I feel that life is not worth living any more without her. Please advice me as to what I need to do to forget her?

Thanks for your advice, Johny. These days, I am in a much better state of mind primarily because I do not correspond with her everyday. I am trying to maintain a safe distance from her though my feelings for her are much the same. I am just going to let destiny take its course.
