Q: I finally tought I was getting over a guy but I guess I'm not. I tried the usual not talking to him that much and doing other things to keep my mind off him and it was working until yesterday. We were with a group of friends so he joined the group and started talking to me again. Of course only as a friend not flirting or anything but I guess I still like him because I melted inside. What else can I do to ge over him? By the way I know he dosnt like me as more than a friend because my friend asked him.
It sucks because seeing an ex is just reopening an old wound.

I always tell people to make a list of things you want to do and start doing them. This means you will discover more about yourself. And quite frankly when you do meet a new person, you're going to wish for some time to yourself from time to time.

Guess what you're single! That means you don't have to feel guilty for flirting, you can go out with friends without checking in, and basically be free.

Why am I telling you to do things for yourself? When you do, you see that missing someone is just really missing the idea of someone. When you melted inside you really only missed the familiarity and safety that person gave you, you don't miss the fighting and the real life complacency. Being single has liberated you to be awesome and rediscover yourself. Life is too short to be worried about an ex. Not when a gal like you has the world at her fingertips.
PS there is no greater revenge than living well. When people see a liberated happy person... that's attractive

Than for your advice I'm going to try and take it into practice. I never really though about it that way now I have a different perceptive on which I can base myself from. Once again thank you
