This is what I've often been told when I was fixated on one person and someone was trying to convince me to move on from someone who had placed me firmly in the friend zone-- as in, "There are OTHER fish in the sea." And, as much as I hated to admit it at the time... it's true. Generally if someone doesn't like you back right away, and wants to be "just friends"-- which has happened with everyone I've had a crush on-- that's where the relationship is going to stay. And it's time to look for other fish.

Check out "Problem Child," my memoir of life with autism. Very good point,usually when we are fixated on someone we will not accept[at the time ]that there are others who would be just as well suited for us to be with .A lack of flexibility will limit your chances .I don't believe that someone's dating pool is unlimited but in most cases the majority of people have more options than they are seeing.Often, it is the person who you haven't considered romantically [for whatever reason] who is the right one for you .
