I visited her, and it was clear her feelings had changed. I still loved her, but she wanted to just be friends. Despite my sadness, I understood where she was coming from. The distance did take its toll. We've been on good terms since. After my visit, we would have been apart for many more months. The problem is, I still love her. We dated for more than a year and a half and had a wonderful time together. I find myself dwelling on the past and what would have happened if we didn't have to have to engage in a long-distance relationship.Although I would like another girlfriend, I don't want to "rebound." I think if I had another girlfriend I would just end up comparing her to my ex, and wouldn't appreciate her for who she really is. How can I get over my ex if I still have strong feelings for her?

I've brought it up to the guy I love multiple times and he's made it CLEAR a long distance relationship wouldn't work. So, what I say.. don't pressure the person into it try and let it go. I tried pushing my guy into it and now he is acting strange like he is trying to get me to stop liking him, so that I won't hurt so much because I can't be with him.Here's my advice and I know it's alot easier said then done, lose all contact with that person.. if they care about you let them know what's going on and they'll understand and try to help you out by not talking to you either.
