Okay so I am honestly in love with this guy, but he doesn't feel the same way about me. He told me a while back that when he broke up with me he knew we'd never be able to date again but I have this feeling that says I don't think he was telling the truth when he told me that. At the same time there are some people who have shown interest in me, and I mean my mind tells me it's just smart to move on and not keep emotionally hurting myself over this guy, but also wouldn't it be unfair to both the guy I'd be dating and to myself if I dated them while I was actually in love with another guy? I've tried getting over him but I just can't, and I feel as if I could wait for him forever even if I never did get him back. I know I'm young, but I also don't think like a person my age and I do know I am truly in love with this person. But at the same time, should I try to date again and stop being hopeful or listen to what I feel and trust that there is still something there that can come back in the future?

I don't think you should date anyone else right away just because they would be a rebound person. It's not cool to hurt someone because you are hurting. (even if it's unintentional). Instead I would move on with my life without anyone in it right now to take some time out for you. Hang out with some friends, so some fun stuff - school is out right? Try to stay active so that you have no time to sit and mope over him. IF you are still calling, texting, IMing and emailing, STOP.. let it go. He may just contact you and if he does, don't jump on it immediately because you want to make sure that this is what the both of you want. Give yourself some time to hurt and heal before you starting dating other people. So, the thought is this: you are giving yourself time to bounce back girl, not him time to come back! You feel me?
Good Luck and Keep it movin! Hey, listen to Toni Braxton- Take this ring and Beyonce - Freakum Dress.. get hyped up, cute, and go out with your girls and have a damn ball!!! Don't give him any power over your happiness... Do you!! "smile" [ venom_97's advice column | Ask venom_97 A Question ]
