When we fall we really fall, if the other person doesn't reciprocate how do you manage to let go of your deep feelings?
I am trying to bury mines for a month now but in no avail. There are other guys interested but I just know that this was the best connection.
What is your strategy?
First, I feel for you. I went through this recently and wish the experience on no one.
Second, what worked for me was to focus on bettering myself- career-wise- spiritually- emotionally- etc. Doing this kept me very busy (i.e. distracted) and the benefit was, months later, I had new accomplishments, new experiences and new memories to build from.
Third, know that this will take time-- and whatever time it takes you is OK. This is your healing process- not someone else. Don't judge yourself based on some other persons timeline.
Fourth, don't forget to forgive yourself.
I know it seems like "better" is a long way away but you will get there.
I truly wish you the best.
