What do I do?

its best to leave each other alone for a meanwhile.i mean completely no communication and then suddenly show up to him and have a real actual talk with him in person and let it all out whatever you feel and how you feel.sometimes its best to just let the time tell itself hows the future going to be.

this is a tough situation and one that should be taken with most care. it's obvious that there is a lot of tension between you two and it seems like neither of is willing to initiate anything. it's like you're both in a limbo because neither of you wants to get to the root of the problem. I mean I get that you guys had/have feelings for each other. you both hooked up and the past is haunting you both and now there are intense moments where one can't face the other out of hurt or shame.

to be honest, I think that before you find a solution to this, you must first ask yourself what you really want out of this relationship. do you really want to be friends or more? can you move on from the past and keep going forward. are you willing to do anything to salvage whatever you have left between you two? you have to really dig deep and take the time to figure out what it is that you want. this could take a day, a week, a month. but however long it takes, you HAVE to take the time to really sort your feelings out before you do anything. with that said, you should also give him space to do the same. I know you're playing the 'friend card' right now but it could only be hindering you both from completely healing the hurt and pain that the past has brought upon you. when he ignores, you it's not that he's trying to hurt you. I think it's because he's confused and doesn't know what to make out of your relationship with him. it's like an internal battle where he can't even find the answers himself. his actions and words in turn confuse you causing a vicious cycle of pain.

if you want to set your mind at ease, you just need to be frank with him. tell him how you feel about things and in turn, listen to what he has to say and be considerate of his feelings. I know we tend to say things in the heat of the moment. so just be careful and be sure that what you say is what you truly mean and how you truly feel about the situation. you want to be able to clear up any misunderstandings between the two of you before you can do any damage control. if things work out, then you could be friends. but as it stands, it just seems that staying in this friendship is only hurting both you and him.
