Dealing with emotions

Dear /r/Buddhism,

Sorry if this is not the right place to post. Long time lurker here, mostly Buddhist enthousiast, but not yet sure if I want to start considering myself Buddhist. However, I have a question that I thought people on this sub might have advice for.

I'm a 21 year old guy, and at the moment I'm really struggling with my feelings. I have a very large crush on one of my friends, but he is straight, so there is no way that it is ever going to be mutual.

However, I want to get over my feelings, because I feel that it is hindering me, since I can't really enjoy his presence when it will constantly remind me of things that are never going to be. I want to keep him as a friend, as our friendship is a very good one that I value a lot. Does anybody have any tips on how to overcome this attachment that I have to the image of him that I want him to be?
