You don’t have to get over him. But this is a maturity thing. He is still half-baked, immature, crazy. If he’s in HS, wait until he’s in College. College, then wait until out of school. 20s? Wait until he’s 30.

And the way to put his ego in check is to act like you’re above it all. (And you are!) Say, “I love you, Little Buddy, but I’m not IN love with you!” and give him a head noogie. If three girls are hanging all over him say, “Are you trying to make me jealous again?” with a wink and a smile. And date other guys. Wait a day before texting/calling him back. Write a one line text or only talk for five minutes on the phone (You are busy, after all, with your awesome life!). Act happy, light and fun when he’s with you, (no one likes a downer, and it will keep him wondering!) Wear makeup, change your hair style/color, get new fun clothes, get new bling (it will perk interest and keep you feeling new and beautiful! Shallow, but it works!)

And most importantly, Jedi-mind trick yourself into believing that you ARE All That, that you are his (or anyone’s!) It Girl. What will happen is all these other people will be congregating around you, that he’ll have trouble getting through!

So that’s all I’ve got. Good Luck!
