I stay in contact with an old flame. I know it would never work out between us, but sometimes when I talk with her the old feelings start to come up in me and I get a thing for her. I know it would never work and it didn't work when we were dating but man...she really is a catch. Drop dead gorgeous and really got her shit together. I like having her in my life cause she has a great perspective on life but also im tired of feeling emotions that I know would never go anywhere. Should I just bite the bullet and cut the friendship or are there ways to get rid of these feelings?
>Should I just bite the bullet and cut the friendship or are there ways to get rid of these feelings?I think you should stop spending time with her. You aren't being fair to yourself.You know on some level that you aren't satisfied with just being her friend. You could be spending that time on a woman who actually appreciates you instead.
>>34653884If you make yourself cold toward her that could help get rid of the feelings, but that would also negatively affect your friendship. Sometimes if you know why your relationship didn't work out the first time, but you're able to be good friends otherwise, you can use that to renew the relationship as long as you both know how to avoid what went wrong the first time. You probably won't stop feeling that way about her when you remember those times. Most likely it's that you cannot be friends if you cannot handle these feelings or seeing her with someone else in the future.
