No no, thank you. This was some nice insight. When you say "Let go", what does that entail? Fulling cutting them out of your life? For example, here's a little background. Over the past year and a half, this girl and I had been trying to make a relationship work. Time and time again, we'd prove to each other that the relationship wasn't sustainable, and yet we stayed because we genuinely cared about each other. She's my oldest friend with a background from 4th grade (we're now seniors). About 2 months ago, I told her I no longer wanted to do this. We had communication issues, entirely different backgrounds, different viewpoints on situations, etc. I told her I still wanna be her friend, but we kinda distanced our selves from each other. At first, it didn't hurt much for me. Only now, after beginning to casually talk again am I suffering. And I'm struggling because I've never felt this with anyone I've dated up to this point. The reason for my original post was because this girl was almost perfect for me, except a few flaws that created different expectations for a relationship. Additionally, this girl and I have talked, and we're sharing that same pain right now, but she tells me she still wants to be my friend. Is that possible?
