haha, yeah, I know the advice, I've heard it before. It's definitely over, but really it would be a shame to throw away what we have and my future gf will just have to accept that. She really is my best friend. We will figure it out, it'll just take time :D |
I have to agree with DeadlyCatalyst: Stop hanging out with her for a while. I'm not saying stop being friends forever, but there's just no way of being actual "friends" directly after splitting up. It just doesn't work. It may even seem to work great for a while, but as soon as she dates another guy, any talk about "staying friends" will prove to be the blather that it is.
My personal experience by the way suggests that the suggestion to "stay friends" usually comes from the person who did the actual split up and is hardly more than a very selfish move that looks like being nice, while for the person accepting this suggestion it's hardly more than a last straw they catch at, but that only prolongs their suffering.
