How do I get us to back to being friends stage?

There is a girl in my class I really liked. It took me a while to get up the courage to ask her out, but I did. The problem is we didn't really hit if off. I like her well enough, but it's clear she doesn't return my interest in the same way and probably never will. We're still in the same class and will probably be in another class next semester so we can't avoid each other. How do I get us to back to being friends stage?

Dear Xav,
Assuming both of you still wish to be civil, the situation will right itself. Go to class, remember that she's willing to your friend and nothing more, and act like her friend and nothing more. Your feelings may see-saw back and forth, especially if you see her moving on, but eventually your feelings will shift and it will less painful for you. You'll know you're back to the friendship arena when you catch yourself NOT thinking about her.

Is there really just one true love out there for each person? Is there really such a thing as an emotional affair? Is there really such a thing as love at first sight? I think he likes me though I'm 16 I think it was rude of him to compare me with someone else
