The harsh reality is that she wasn't that into you. Whether it be physical attraction, personality compatability or both. Its very rare for someone to say no to someone they're attracted to. Just because she gave in and flirted, does not mean she was in love with you or anything even close.
She's with someone else because she finds him attractive. You can sit and be sad about it or you can work on yourself and move on.
As I say, not trying to be mean, but you're hung up because you're manipulating your mind to feel this way. You never had a relationship with her, you shouldn't be jealous.
That’s exactly what I was thinking. Every HR training I’ve done said this is extremely unprofessional and a power imbalance. I don’t want to get my emotions riled up but it makes me unhappy thinking about it.
