TylerThePriest Posted June 26, 2017 Posted June 26, 2017 (edited) This was my first relationship, and it lasted 8 months. Now I've graduated high school and I'm going to college soon. We broke up two days ago because I'm working at a Boy Scout camp and leaving for college soon. We both want to remain friends, and if things work out, I hope we can get back together in 6 years. Should I just cut all contact for awhile? We still text and I still miss her terribly. Edited June 26, 2017 by TylerThePriest
d0nnivain Posted June 27, 2017 Posted June 27, 2017 It's too fresh after the break up to be friends. At this stage you still want more. You don't have to be mean to each other but distance will help you heal. For now do your job at camp. Focus on your upcoming adventures this fall. Maybe by Christmas break it won't hurt quite as much to chat if you bump into each other. Do not go out of your way to make plans to see each other.
Marc878 Posted June 27, 2017 Posted June 27, 2017 Everyone goes through this. The worst thing you can do is get into the friend zone. Move on and don't tie yourself down to this.
jamili Posted June 27, 2017 Posted June 27, 2017 If you become "friends" you will likely remain "friends" forever. If you want some chance of potential rekindling in the distant future, then skip the "stay friends" gig and just go your own way and keep away/NC/LC. This way, many years from now, if you guys run into each other, it will allow for both your interests to peak, attraction to potentially happen, and possibly giving it another go. If you remain friends throughout that time, then none of that can happen and you probably will never be together again. Chances of you meeting another girl before this hypothetical future meeting is high, and by then you may not want to get back together. A lot can change in 6 years, especially your first 6 years out of high school. This also applies to her.
