What's everyone's way of dealing with meeting someone, hoping they'll be with you, and then having it fizzle out? Like how do you see past the awk stage and still remain friends?
Well my solutions used to include getting mad and trying to pursue a relationship anyway but that failed.
I guess, you can't be friends with someone you like, at least I can't. Seeing that someone often, being nice and polite, sharing jokes etc...How can you be friends if you still feel something for that person? "Friendship often ends in love; but love in friendship, never." pretty much sums up everything. Even if you just liked that person, I still think you can't get over that person if you remain friends.
Keep looking for someone, quite frankly. If you let yourself fixate on them as the only option for you in life, it's going to be difficult to remain friends.
I suppose my ex boyfriend and I are able to get along only because I technically don't and didn't have feelings for him even though I didn't think I was a lesbian at the time. Also, Gravity, I definitely don't see this person as the only person I could be with. Don't worry about that
do you mean meeting someone, getting close, then realizing it wasn't for you? if it's someone you want to remain friends with after something like this, i think maybe just time. as with most things. it all takes time. don't hang out for a little while, keep the texts to a minimum, and when you've both had time to adjust and forget, get back to being friends!
