Ended a situationship and feeling bit sad … anyone that is also going through it give me some tips?

[janbie_15]

I knew going into it, it was never going to be anything serious, he wasn’t a potential for me but I still ended up developing feelings and he grew on me.
It feels like a breakup and I feel bit sad, although it ended mutually it got messier then I liked it to be near the end.
We both agreed to be friends but why does it hurt even though I knew it was never going to be anything other than casual?

Ugh, I feel ya. Situationships can be the worst cuz you get attached even when you know it ain't real. The heart wants what it wants and feelings creep up outta nowhere.

First things first, cut off all contact for a bit. Can't start moving on if you're still hooked in. Block his number, unfollow on social, delete old messages - clean break.

Next, remind yourself of the reasons it was never gonna work long term. Was he flaky, undateable, had red flags? Focus on those flaws to help get over him faster.

Surround yourself with your boys for distractions. Game nights, sports, weekend trips - keep busy and let them lift your spirits. Laughter heals all wounds homie.

Last thing - get back out there! Nothing makes you forget one person faster than hooking up with someone new. Bumble, Tinder, hit the bar scene - boost that ego and self-confidence.

Few weeks you'll feel way better luv, promise. Just takes time to get their voice out your head. You got this Queen! Soon you'll be laughing it off like it was nothing.

I will need at least 6 months of no talking to him or get involved with him even as friends. That helps at least what my friend used to say. Cheers up darling!!
