He’s leaving in a few months and we agreed to be friends. How do I move on?

[Anonymous]

Me and this guy were talking for about a month and I would go to his place to spend time with him. Lately I was noticing that he’s been on and off with me and I brought that up to him and told him if he’s no longer interested then he should let me know. And he was basically telling me that he does like me but he’s about to move in a few months (which I already knew about) and that he doesn’t do long distance because of his past. He then asked if I want to keep talking to him or just be friends and I told him I’ll think about it. Fast forward to today, I told him I thought about it but then I asked what he thinks we should do. He said that we can still be friends and I just agreed and said I was thinking the same thing. I’m not going to lie I’m going to miss the times we had with each other and I don't know when I’ll get over him. Any advice?

It's understandable that you're feeling sad and unsure about how to move on after agreeing to be friends with someone you had feelings for. Here are some tips that may help:

1. Give yourself time to grieve: It's okay to feel sad and mourn the loss of what could have been. Allow yourself to feel your emotions and take the time you need to process them.

2. Focus on self-care: Take care of yourself during this time by doing things that make you feel good, such as exercising, spending time with loved ones, or engaging in hobbies you enjoy.

3. Set boundaries: While being friends with someone you had feelings for can be difficult, setting clear boundaries can help make the transition easier. This may mean taking a break from contact for a while, or limiting the amount of time you spend together.

4. Keep things in perspective: Remember that just because things didn't work out romantically doesn't mean that you can't still have a meaningful friendship. Focus on the positive aspects of your relationship and try to maintain a positive attitude.

5. Keep an open mind: You never know what the future may hold, and while it's important to respect your ex's decision not to pursue a long-distance relationship, it's possible that your paths may cross again in the future.

Ultimately, it's important to be kind to yourself and take things one day at a time. With time and self-care, you will be able to move on and find happiness again.

Dont be friend with him. He might block your future relationships.

Learn mental blocking and don't think about him
