Dear Ms. Lipstiq,
I’ve been liking the same person for over a year now – but nothing has happened between us because i’m too afraid to approach him in that manner. We’re casual friends but i’ve never had the oppertunity to tell him how I feel. I know I should’ve said something earlier, but it never felt right and we never had the right moment. Then, just a few days ago – we hung out together with our usual group of friends and he came through the door with his new girlfriend. I didn’t know what to feel or how to feel for it. A part of me was hurt, but a part of me was happy for him. After all, I never took the initiative to tell him how I personally felt, so that part is my fault. I can admit that it was heartbreaking, after all, my eyes have been on him this entire year – but, i just want to get him and this feeling of heartbreak. How do I make all this hurt stop? Please advice me!
Sheryl
Dear Sheryl,
I’m really sorry to hear about your heartache – it’s never easy. Having to keep all those emotions in for an entire year, that takes a lot out you. It’s never nice to have to deal with that, but don’t ever say it’s your fault for not approaching him. You felt it wasn’t right, and at least you respected that. Taking it easy helped you guys remain friends and that is better than having nothing at all, right? He may have a new girlfriend now, and it will continue to hurt for awhile. There is no clear lined answer on how to deal with this – but it really is a matter of time and healing. That’s what’s important. Eventually, you’ll find something (or someone) to keep you preoccupied. We hope you get passed this and find the happiness you deserve. No one should stay hurt for so long. So, chin up and get up and try again!
Ms. Lipstiq
