I'm not really sure how long this little story will turn out to be, but either way, I would like a little help understanding myself.

 

I've been friends with this guy before, let's say his name is Alex, but I'm not exactly friends with him right now. We're not on bad terms or anything, we just stopped talking because of things that were happening in each other's lives.

 

Before I go any further, you may be wondering why I'm putting this in "Long distance relationships". Honestly, I couldn't find any other category to put it in. We are not and never were in a relationship, but the friendship was long distance because he lives in in a state that is almost across the country from where I live. You might also want to know how we even know each other if we're that far away. The answer to that is simple: we started talking through my sister who is friends with him and his family. She kind of introduced us and we started talking and ended up talking a lot more to each other than I expected. I'd like to say we were pretty good friends.

 

Anyway, we stopped talking and I wasn't exactly upset about it. It's not like we've been best friends for our whole lives, so I couldn't have gotten that upset about it anyway. I just moved on with my life and my friends that actually live here.

 

I've also realized though that he's the most handsome guy I've ever seen and lately, I just can't stop thinking about him. Frankly, it's getting pretty frustrating. Every time I see a picture of him, something happens and I feel like I'm getting a lump in my throat because he's so insanely beautiful. I know this all sounds incredibly cheesy, but it's what I'm feeling and I don't know what to do about it. I honestly just can't stop thinking about Alex.

 

I understand that this could just be "wanting what you can't have", but that doesn't help anything. Please tell me why you think this is happening and what I should do about it. I can hardly take it anymore.

This happens sometimes when there is no one of interest in your life. Are you dating or met anyone special recently? Once you do you will forget about this guy.

 

Its just a phase. If he wanted to get in touch he would. Let it go.

^^ Totally agree.

 

It doesn't sound like you really cared until recently whether or not you even heard from this guy at all. What changed?
