Gone through hard times, been broke, been completely penniless for months on end, doing whatever we needed to do to get enough to survive to make sure we had at least a single square meal a day.

Just ask her out. Whether she then says yes or no, you'll finally get over it, either immediately on in a few days/weeks/months

Ok, so to get over someone:
Make it clear for yourself that it's not happening. You seem to have that done, but in case you still have some doubt ask her.
Lose all contact with her. Don't go out with her, don't text her, don't talk to her. I don't care if she's your best friend's sister, tell him how you feel and that you want to get over her.
Be active, do stuff. Work, study, go the the gym, find some hobbies. Whatever keeps you busy and takes your mind off her. Don't just sit in front of a computer doing stuff that takes no critical thinking or involvement and creates no emotional response.
Be patient. It takes time.

Wait, why doesn't it have a chance?

Is she too young or something?

this so much

even if you are sure you will be rejected, it will be easier to get over it if you actually allow yourself to get rejected. otherwise you will live the next years wondering 'what if'

just do it OP

Why not give it a shot OP? Can you elaborate on why you're so positive potential prospects of success are so Grim? Are you sure you can't improve in the areas you feel inadequate? Like are you not her type or something?

Not that I'm saying to lose yourself in the pursuit of love, however if it's like minor superficial things it's quite likely they might be easier to overcome than you think if you already have a solid organic friendship...

I don't know the reasons you don't think it's going to work, but be wary of the advice in this thread to just go for it, OP. If this is truly your best friend, you don't want to stick a wedge in your friendship by trying to get with his sister unless the juice is really worth the squeeze.

If you're going to do something, I'd probably bring it up to him first.

Anyways, you're young, these things do fade with time. It's not easy, but they fade.

No Definitely tread cautiously if you think it'd majorly jeopardize your relationship with your friend, however if it is organic and the feelings are sincere and you're good to her I think the whole "Dude Don't Date my Sister" thing can be overblown for it's supposed impact among the rational ppl. Usually that seems to apply more to like unapologetic pervs/manwhore "friends" that you to some degree don't consider a good person, which you don't really strike me as... iunno... Is your friend's possible reaction a heavy factor in your pessimism?

So, this'll sound really dumb but it eventually works. You should start thinking negatively about her, eventually you'll start to lose interest in her, I've done this a few times and it worked (at least for me). Just try it for a while.

Pass me her number, breh. You can date vicariously through me
