How do you get over someone you liked but are still friends with them?

Originally he was interested in me and felt like he was moving things too fast, and gave me mixed signals. In the end he stopped chasing me and now we hang out as friends once a week.

I tried setting hints, and subtle flirting but he goes very quiet or ignores the comment. Made me feel stupid. We use to play games together but I am "too bad at games" to play with despite him also being bad at games too, but he didn't want to admit it.

I honestly feel hurt because I tried for him to be better at games and such, even though I dont value games as a necessary life skill set.

Long story short. It seems he does not like me that way, I feel like I need space away from him but cannot get it since his everywhere (e. g., social media). I dont know what to do. I feel so sad.

Do you mean actual games or head games? If you are seeing him in person you probably should stop for a while. Any interaction will keep these wounds “fresh”. Hang in there

No sorry, not head games! Mind games I should say. We use to play video games to hang out with each other regularly. I am just feeling depressed because I use to have fun with him but he didn't feel the same way. His only way of having fun made me miserable, he use to make fun of how bad I was at games. I dont know maybe I am being too sensitive. I feel like disappearing from online for awhile

I totally get it. Men need space. Take some time away from him. Let him come back. If he doesn’t well…then I guess bye. Sometimes a break helps clarify feelings for everyone. I should take my own advice haha!

True, I will try spending the rest of this week distracting myself instead of going on social media looking at what his doing 🤣 Good luck to you too!

I just do. Feelings fade after a while and shit gets old to deal with

Im starting to feel like that. I did try with him initially but got tired of trying and now I just want some space away from him. Just to think about other things, do more. He does enjoy spending some time with me, but I can't keep hanging around when I am hurting
