Have you ever realized you have feelings for someone after separating from them?

Question

Like you used to see each other every day and then you didn't see each other at all for months. Did that make you realize you have feelings for the person?

Yes, there was once this guy I dated for awhile, and when we had sex for the first time it was just so bad. I don't know if it was me or him or both, but when I woke up the next morning I just didn't want to see him ever again. So I kind of nicely dumped him over a text later.. I was honest about it being because of sex. He said it's fine, wished me the best of luck, and disappeared. After like 2 weeks I realized I made a big, fat, impulsive mistake, and I reached out sincerely but he was just such a dick about it; he told me that he never wanted anything serious with me anyway, just sex.

My current boyfriend, only I can go a day without seeing him and I get the feeling of missing him and thinking about how much he means to me.

Yes that is a basic knowledge. Distance and time makes the heart grow fonder. Being up eachothers arse all the time and never having even so much as time to poop alone causes a lot of relationships to fall apart. This is why there is usually a separation period along with some couples counseling or marriage counseling before most couples finalize a divorce. But 9 times out of 10 one or the other moves on it already had before the seperation and the other never really forgives them for it so it ends anyway.

This is separation anxiety. Is normal after a mascot player in your life leaves. Is actually disturbing to me so many feel like you do and confuse it for “feelings”. Is the reason why relations are such shit these days. Y’all don’t know what to look for nor even what you’re looking at when you see a person and their qualities.

There was a girl I dated in high school who was the sweetest the cutest girl I could ever hope to have. I treated her terribly (had a drug problem then), then I broke up with her, breaking her heart. That was 25 years ago, but I still think about her often.

Opposite happened, he kept ignoring and i ended it one day, then he came back coz he realised that he has feelings for me and i accepted it. But, Now that he is back, i don't give a fuck.

Sort of. I rejected this one girl who I was friends with for a while when asked me out. Then long after we lost touch and I had matured more we re-connected and I understood better what she saw between us that I didn't. By then though some guy was smart enough to snap her up before me.
I don't know if that's quite the same thing as what you asked. Lol

I've realised that someone had a thing for me after i graduated uni. I was completely oblivious to it at the time, it was a friends with benefits but looking back she did have a thing for me, but just didn't say it

Familiarity leads to feelings of fondness. It's natural. That's how friendships start, many romantic relationships as well.  Hell, we see the people we work with more than our spouse or family.

Yes 100% you will have the love, affection and feeling for the person who has separated from us. It's the normal human tendency and you will never forget them.

Jamie05rhs · Answer

No. When I have feelings for someone, it's always when they're actively in my life. If they disappear, I don't care anymore.

Yes but then i got over it quickly once I saw he was happy with another girl. I wished him the best and moved on : )

Yeah I had one “that got away” that I truly realized how deeply I loved after she broke up with me (I wanted her to break at the time).
