But the Glitter timing is at least a convenient excuse whenever people are like, "You like Mariah?!?! But wasn't Glitter a flop?!" And I'm like, "Stop disrespecting the dead"
Dear BeBeMESS at you saying you should be friends when you knew you'd wanna be more than just friends. I was very happy the day I realized that not every ex needs to be a friend. Now, when I break up with someone, I avoid that "let's be friends" line. There are of course situations where it applies; for example, my most recent ex and I are still good friends, BUT I had to take a few months of not talking to him at all before I felt ready to be friends. If you haven't moved on from him yet,
you should not be talking as friends now. By talking to him and trying to be friendly, you're just dragging out the process of your moving on. The solution is simple and your probably know it. You
need to be honest and tell him that although you thought you could be friends, you realize you can't let go just yet and it's gonna take a little time before you'll be able to be his friend. He'll understand and stop communicating with you and then you will have the time to move on. You can't just start ignoring him because that's rude af and prevents you from actually being friends in the future (if that's a possibility) and you can't just keep camouflaging your tears because obviously that isn't working. You also need to set your Grindr filter to a lower high age limit so you're not out here dating grandpas again because while I believe age ain't nothing but a number, it's harder to make a real relationship work when there's a big enough gap between your ages that he graduated college before Vision of Love came out. Now go text him right now (and don't act like you need to call or see him in person!) because you'll be happier in the long run for it!
Lord have mercy on my soul
