Strange relationship.. need help
Hey everyone, im a new user, been stalking the forums the past couple of days and decided to register and see if i can get some help. Well, heres my story..
Ive been dating this girl for about 2 years (my first girlfriend) and she recently broke up with me. There was no anger between us, i was crushed and she was sad for hurting me. She thinks of me as her best friend now, and always wants to hang out with me and talk to me, share her thoughts and feelings etc. That makes it very difficult for the no-contact thing. We have classes together and were partners in my multimedia class. After a month or two of acting like a pathetic love-sick puppy, i started ignoring her, trying to keep happy by forgetting her even when shes trying to get my attention. It worked kind of, i was not as depressed anymore, while not exactly happy. Today at school however she broke into tears, said she wanted me to be her friend more than anything and next thing i knew i was holding her and trying to make her feel better. Now im depressed again because she made it clear ONCE AGAIN that she thinks there is no way ill ever be more than her friend. She even said she doesnt love me like a boyfriend, but as a "friend" or "brother".
I feel so hurt, i love her more than anything but i dont want to feel this way forever and she keeps getting my hopes up and then crushing them. Any advice on my situation would be appreciated.
