I'm not gonna speak for everyone but I think humans are complicated and stupid when I say you can be completely over it and fall in love with someone else and be happy and still, memories of that other person will come about. you can love them but choose to avoid them, as well. i feel like humans can make something out of nothing or by overthinking, especially if the person is just being nice and easy to talk to where everything just flows so well. this can be considered a soulmate, but not the fairytale type. friends can be soulmates.
it just makes it trickier when you put attraction and sex to the mix, I think?
on your own terms if you want to, you have to get this whole other idea out of your head of what every girl should be like(like her), maybe be a little more open and accepting, it can open up more possibilites? and hey, sometimes it's cool when someone doesn't know a subject as well as you do, you can introduce them! it makes it exciting.
hope i made some sense and helped somewhat; welcome btw!

Time. I started by thinking about myself....my personality, my moods, my maturity level, my role in the relationship so far,...etc. Once I had a good understanding of who I was with this person i thought about the same things with him.

Over time I came to realize that I would have been miserable in a long term relationship with this person. Even though we shared some CRAZY similarities, I understood that

1. I was not in love with this person...i did love him however, but that passionate, unconditional love was not there

2. It also didn't help that he was a cheating b------ after a couple of months of us dating.

Once the image was destroyed, I was able to move on.

But I understand you guys are different, right now you are friends and I think maybe because of her past she is incapable of moving on from it to see how perfect you 2 would be.

If she is worth it, I'd give her time...and just continue to show her that you are there for her, without compromising who you are off course.

And I also forgot congrats on making it to your second year of college, I remember those days. This situation was going on during my second year of college...Just don't give up if it gets overwhelming.


And I COMPLETELY understand where you're coming from about growing indifferent to love...I battle everyday with the idea that it doesn't exist.

Keep her close still because she still sounds like a good friend but..
" I can't find another girl with who i can talk about literature, philosophy, art, ideas and dreams as i used to talk with her." I guarantee you can, Plenty of girls out there. I've been "In love" and I thought that this one chick was my entire world and 3 years from that I can see that she wasn't.

So, I think this is my first thread here...english is not my first language so excuse me, I think that i really need some orientation.

Well, first of all I'm in my second year of college, I'm 20...Back in my high school years and in my first year of college i was very stupid with girls, i did have a gf but i don't like to count that because (even when she was my gf for almost 2 years) we didn't really behave like a couple. The thing is that last year I met this girl in college, and I kind of saw her like the perfect one, we had the same tastes, we thought almost the same about politics and other serious stuff and both of us saw the other one as the only person that really gets everything. The problem is that i fell in love, and she did not. I didn't know how to let her know she gave me some mixed signals but i just cared more about the friendship. Also, she was very strange about love, i never knew if she loved someone or even if she had a crush with someone. At the begining of this year, i tried to see her reaction by telling her that "i had a crush on her but that was in the past" and since then i saw the trust that she had, destroyed. Now I'm a different man, i regret a lot of that time, but I can't stop thinking about this problem: I really don't love her like before, i don't mind if she get married or something as long as she is happy. But i can't take the idea that she is the only person who is 100% perfect for me and the only one who i see myself married to in the future, and the contradiction that everybody says you should find someone complementary, not the same s--- that you are. The worst part is that every day that passes i become more indiferent not only with this situation, but with love in general. I can't find another girl with who i can talk about litterature, philosophy, art, ideas and dreams as i used to talk with her. So...do you think i should forget about her being the perfect one and see her only as a friend (as she sees me)?.. what do you think i should do??
