Answer:
Thats why ya gotta wait. Cuz you WILL get hurt if you dont desire to wait or you wait for a little bit and then stop waiting after that.
Step-by-step explanation:
"good things come to those who wait" is the truest thing I've ever heard and it's the truth.
You can give up if you wish but I say keep walking up the hill until you reach the top. Instead of searching and doing all the work just for them do your own thing and work on yourself and become happy with yourself first as you wait for them to come to you instead so then you'll be guarded by your secure walls first. That way if your future guy talks with another girl you wont be insecure and have everything on the ground at your feet. Positive energy attracks good positive energied people.
Stay away from toxic people who like to minipulate, lie a lot, have a victim personality etc. Even if they are nice from the start. Examine them, study them while you hang out with them and protect yourself from them if you still decide to befriend them. Don't give them info on yourself etc.
In my honest opinion I think you are handling this well.. it hurts but you havent gotten or begged him to get back with ya. That's all that matters. You are doing great. Keep it up. I'm proud of you. Keep that strong mentality and keep pushing forward.
