The best thing to do is just to go to him and say something along the lines of, "I still really like you, but I think I need to stop talking to you for a while because all of these old feelings are coming up and I just need to get rid of them." I am not saying you should never talk to him again, but you should take a break from talking to him if it is hurting you. The one thing to remember is, that there is NOTHING/NOBODY worth being hurt over. I hope this helps. [ so_confused's advice column | Ask so_confused A Question ]

But i think that you not seeing him will be good for you and yes you should stop talking to him. I had the biggest thing for my best friend and after middle school we went to different high schools and I felt horrible. But over time I was able to make friends at school and forget about him. I even had a boyfriend in high school. Basically these things are really hard to deal with but you will pull through, I promise. Its a good life lesson too because it will make you stronger and help you cope with heartbreak if it happens again in the future. I want you to go to sleep tonight and when you wake up tomorrow, just tell yourself "everything is going to be okay and I am okay. Today will be the start of a new life for me."
I think you will be just fine. Hope you feel better tomorrow and even if the pain has not completely gone away, it will with time. [ iwantthetruth's advice column | Ask iwantthetruth A Question ]
