Getting over someone

There's a man I really like - I'm single, he's recently single and a few months ago he showed an interest (we snogged one evening after a few drinks) and since then I've been smitten but nothing has happened in terms of progressing further
I know in my heart that encounter meant nothing to him apart from hoping he could get lucky that night, and now he's just moved on with his life.
I'm really trying to get over him and was making lots of headway in this regard. However sometimes when I see him it seems like he's still interested and to be honest it's really messing with my emotions and I'm finding it hard to move on.
Does anyone have any tips as to how to get over someone in this situation?
I'm just really frustrated because I was getting so much stronger and positive about it all then the other day it all went pear shaped because I saw him and think he was trying to talk to me but I just walked off. I say 'think' because deep down I know he wasn't actually trying to talk to me, and I have a bad habit of deluding myself. Also I'm fully aware that if he really liked me I would know about it and he would actually show more of an interest.
But now I can't stop thinking about him, I'm overanalysing stuff that clearly doesn't mean anything, and I'm right back to square one Sad

In what way does it seem like he's still interested? What indications does he give? I'm in a similar situation.

How come you keep seeing him? Is there any way you can avoid him for a while?

Here's a suggestion: ask him out. A major part of your problem is the ambiguous state of things. Even if you're 90% sure he's not interested, you have had a snog and he's friendly. That's enough to mess with your head if you like him, and that's exactly what's happened.

If you ask him out and he rejects you, then you will know where you stand and these feelings will tail off.
