Danielepew agony auntI don't think you're stupid. You're in love, but you have realized that this isn't worth the effort. I guess this is not the definition of stupid, but of its opposite.

Well done. Stop wasting your time and go after someone who is worth it.

Stop wasting time and money on calls to him. Friendhip needs to be from both sides. Forget about him and concentrate on friends who are worthy of your friendhip.

He is probably telling the new girl that you are still "pestering" him and won't leave him alone. Don't give him any opportunity to do something like that. Stop calling him.

To be honest, imagine if you were his new girlfriend how would you feel if he was secretly, if hes not making an effort with you, then thats not friendship. It all seems one sided. I would give up on him and just leave him to it.
