Breakups (4)

Hey again!

So I'm not exactly looking for advice but I like to know what i could do in my situation.
To make it short I kinda fell in love with my best friend and we started dating last year but a few months ago we broke up. Although we both agreed to not be together anymore, It was kinda driven by her, and I knew that if there wasn't anything in it for her, then there was no point in continuing.
ffw to now, I'm still in love but we are back to being best friends. I don't really want to try again, but if a miracle happens and she decides to start having feelings again i wouldn't pass up on the chance. I don't really have any hope and my head is telling me that it's better to be done but my own feelings don't want to let go.

I'm kinda used to my situation now so im doing alright but there's probably something I can do :3

What are your takes on it?

I think, the fact that you guys started as best friends and even after trying to be in a relationship, still ended up going back to best friends, maybe that's really all that it is. Sometimes, we dont get the things we want but the things we need. I always say that every person that comes into our lives has a purpose (for better or for worse). And maybe your situation was to show you what you always wanted, which was to be with her, but it's not exactly what you NEED in your life. And, if she doesn't want to continue in any romantic relationship with you then you guys are better off as friends.
Just keep living your life, dont give it much thought and dont get your hopes up. Whatever happens will happen at some point. Maybe you'll end up falling in love with someone else or maybe you'll see her falling in love with someone else. Just remember to be open to whatever the future brings!

>>2 I couldn't agree more!
Something similar happened to me a while back but it was the other way around: my friend still loved me and, as time went on, when I got in a relationship he literally went nuts, 'cause he thought I would have fallen for him again, eventually.
My point is, don't get your hopes up and give her the space she needs, she's free to do whatevs and so should you. Waiting for someone to fall in love with us without actually doing anything to make things go towards that direction is pointless. You should focus on yourself and what you actually NEED, since maybe what you guys are meant to be is being just best friends. Not that there's anything wrong with that!
I wish you both the best, good luck!

My mom often tells me that you shouldn’t date your best friend because it always ends poorly. You should try to separate yourself from them and try dating other people. You need to take care of yourself and let go of those feelings you have, I know it sounds cruel but it will just bring you more pain of you don’t. I understand you still want to be friends with them but sometimes it’s better to let go then to hold onto false hope.
