Search Results: how to get over someone

I was very close to this girl I met at work for 8 years. I was very open with her, she met my family, even became part of my family. The thing is, she was over the top secretive about everything. Didn't want me to know her age, about her family, her lovers, where she lived, etc. If I casually, politely brought it up, it upset her. I put up with this because I thought if I'm open and vulnerable with her, eventually she'd come around and be the same with me. It never happened. I got frustrated and politely distanced myself. Then I felt kind of bad because she was actually a good friend inspite of everything. But I couldn't take the one-sided thing. So I tried reaching out to her and reconnecting, and she just wasn't interested. Eventually, I just let her be. She even removed me from her Facebook. Then months later she hangs out with my brother that she knows I've had problems with. She would actually sit and talk to me about how awful my brother is. Isn't that the most garbage, 2-faced person ever?

ok, so I have a friend who recently her and her ex just got back together over the summer. they broke up somewhere between April or May. after they broke up my friend had hooked up with one of the ex's friends and they lasted about a week and after she told me she was thinking of someone, and it was her ex. her and the other guy broke up in June and she started talking to her ex and then they got back together. recently she posted Friday that it was her and the ex (current boyfriend) 9 months and I am confused. do the months of them dating before still continue after she broke up with him and got with another guy and got back with the ex after?

For context, my brother has been dating his girlfriend, P, for two years. I absolutely adore P—she’s like the sister I never had. Long before they began dating, however, I met her brother, T. He and I are in the same grade, only about six months apart in age.

I first met T in seventh grade, when he was still a bit of a “geeky” guy. By the middle of eighth grade, I had my first boyfriend and met P for the first time around Thanksgiving. Back in seventh grade, I had a small crush on T, but it was nothing I ever considered acting on.

During freshman year, T and I had science together and started talking occasionally. I began to realize I still liked him. As our siblings grew closer, so did we. Whenever we passed each other in the hallways, we would exchange smiles—he has the cutest dimples when he smiles.

By the end of freshman year, I wanted to ask for his number, but I was too nervous. He was talking to someone at the time, and I didn’t want to overstep boundaries; if I were in that girl’s position, I wouldn’t want him giving out his number to other girls.

I hadn’t seen him for about three months until today, when we had back-to-school night. He was there with a friend, and he smiled at me like no time had passed. Later, he came over to my house because he, my brother, and P were going to the lake. When I saw him, my heart skipped several beats. I tried to keep my cool, distracting myself by making cookies and watching a show.

I don’t know if he’s dating or talking to anyone. If he’s not, I’m wondering if I should ask for his number and get to know him better. Before pursuing anything, I would make sure P was comfortable with it, because the last thing I’d want is to betray her trust or cross a boundary in our friendship.
