Do you know he’s not in love with you? Why do you want to stop?

If spending time with them reminds you why you feel in love with them, then you need separation and time. It hurts like hell, but it will let you move on and give you a chance to find someone who might actually feel that way about you.

start thinking really hard about everything you don’t like about him and all his red flags or beige flags you don’t like. It’ll be enough to friend zone him.

More importantly, WHY would you stop? You’re throwing away something others would kill for

Oooh, yeah in that case you gotta do what #4 said and you gotta give yourself some space to let those feelings go away. I’ve been in your shoes once and you just gotta give it some time.

If you’re not over it. It’s kinda up to your judgement, do you feel like you could be just friends and not be in agony from wishing it were more?

i feel like i can handle most of it but whenever he brings up girls i wanna strangle him. or sometimes i can get a little possessive and he’ll be like “you’re not my gf bro” like thanks for reminding me 😅

Oooh, yeah, he can’t be doing that. He doesn’t owe you a chance with him, but as a friend he does owe it to you to be just a little sensitive to your feelings. You can tell him point blank to keep his bop lore to himself, that’s not a lot to ask

to be honest i tell him abt the guys im with but the difference is he doesn’t like me so he won’t get jealous. but you’re right, i should just tell him to stop
