I had recently gotten out of a relationship with a guy of whom I am still friends with and we do hang out and talk etc like friends do but the only problem is -okay a couple problems- here I'll just make a list
1.My standards are high now (not bad but I feel like I'm going to compare everyone to him because I was in a mentally abusive relationship before him and while the other guy brought me down, this guy built me up and made me see my worth so now = high standards) 2. I am still obviously wanting him more than a friend especially since we only broke up because his feelings weren't getting stronger but he told me I was his type and we're compatible. 3.I cannot get this guy off my mind 4.He's made it perfectly clear he doesn't want a relationship and friends is all we'll ever be and though I tell myself that's fine it's really not because I now know the sufferable feeling of wanting someone you can't -and will probably never- have.
so how do I overcome this? I don't even know what "this" is.
