You're right, a lot of people don't just get over things. I do, though, for little things. And I know this may not seem little to him, but it probably will when he's older. I honestly haven't even had a "crush" on somebody since high school. Those of us saying to just move on and that she's not right for him are just saying so out of experience. If she's not attracted to him she isn't right. It's not a movie romance where he can engage in some wacky hijinks and win her over in the end. In the real world he can either wallow in self-pity and get depressed over it, or he can find something else to focus on.
