Okay, I never thought this would happen to me. I thought this kind of...crap for lack of a better word only happened in movies and to weird people.
Anyways, long story short my boyfriend of 6 months cheated on me, and of course I dumped him. He's respected my descision and hasn't been pressuring me into getting back with him. I know I DEFINITELY don't want him back, don't get me wrong I could never take a cheater back, but at the same time I miss him like hell. I don't want him back, but I'm missing him too much, does that even make sense? :\
And also, my friend who has shown interest in me for a long time (He hasn't made a move or anything) seems a lot more attractive to me now, but I'm scared I'm just seeing him as a rebound.
This is so weird, I'm missing my ex like crazy but I'm sort of crushing on my friend. How can you do both at once? Yet I seem to be. This is SO CONFUSING!!!!
Okay, so my question is: How do I move on from my ex? Since I'm not moving on, and not trying to get back with him I'm going no where and I need to move on.
And also: How do you tell real attraction from seeing someone as a rebound?
Nothing, and I mean nothing, else really gives you any sort of clarity of mind or certainty. Nothing else helps you stop missing someone (even if they were an asshole) and nothing else tells you if your feelings run deeper then the rebounding craving for attention.
You take your time. It's okay to be confused for now. Feelings are confusing. Relax a bit ad let things develope.
Your brain is already over the ex, in a little while your heart will catch up.
Your friend 'hasn't made a move yet' so you really don't have to worry about that at all unless he does, or if you decide to do something about your attraction to him.
