Ex-boyfriend. Options

[pinacoolada]

We broke up about 8 months ago. A month after we broke up, we were sorta complicated...cause we still had feelings for each other.
This went on till February. During this time and the time we dated, we grew really close and realized that we have a lot in common and that we understand each other more than anyone else can.

My ex-boyfriend soon became my best friend, and occassionally, we were more than that. But that ended about 2 months ago. The "more than friends thing". We had a lot of fights, didn't talk for days, but somehow, we just can't get away, and we keep coming back. We're still best friends as of today.

He told me 2 weeks ago that he doesn't have feelings for me that way anymore. Nothing really changed between us. Except the lack of physical contact. We still hang out alone and talk on the phone every night.
I obviously still have feelings for him. Which is not good right? Right. The obvious solution would be to get over him right? Yeah. I guess...

Well here's the problem. In order for that to happen, I'll have to stop talking to him. Completely. That's gonna be really hard for both of us. We're really dependent on each other, and our friendship means so much to me. I know it means a lot to him too.

So yeah. I don't know what to do. I'm stuck. If there are other ways to go about doing things, please don't hesistate to share. I'm completely lost. I don't wanna lose my best friend. I'd miss it too much. He's so...cute..XD We share a locker and everyday, he leaves me notes and stuff. Ughhhh.

Thanks.

If you want to get over the guy, you have to limit your time talking to him. How are you supposed to get over him if you're still talking to, and being around, him? You don't have to completely lose him. You can still be friends, but distance yourself from him. I know it'll be hard, but its in your best interest if you don't want feelings for him anymore. Try hanging out with a new group of people, or going out with your girlfriends. Or try something that gets your mind off of him. Talk to him and tell him this bugs you, and that you want to limit your time together to maybe one phone call a day.
