First heartbreak over boy I wasn’t even dating
I am heartbroken, and I don’t know what to do.
Hello, I am fairly new to Reddit so I apologize if I did any of this wrong. I just badly need advice. Anyways, I (17f) have had a crush on this boy (17m) since our freshman year. I finally told him I liked him in the beginning of this school year and he reciprocated. He asked for my number and for months we both were talking to each other, he’d always try to walk me to my classes and eat lunch with me and would constantly smile and text me funny things in the classes we did and didn’t have together. I told him I liked him and he said he liked me back. I guess I read into it or something because after months of this I asked if he wanted to become serious and he said he wasn’t ready for a relationship and was sorry for leading me on. This was a couple of months ago. We tried to be friends but it was only me reaching out and he avoided me so I took the hint. As of a couple days ago he has started hanging out with this new girl. She’s a friend of mine but a grade below is. She posts pictures of him all the time, they are constantly talking. I didn’t even know this was happening until today. I feel heart broken. Why is it so easy for him to be with her and not me? I also feel stupid for still caring so much about a guy I only was in a talking stage with. But I can’t help it. That has literally been the only romantic relationship I have ever been in. No one has ever had a crush on me or asked me out. I was going to talk to the girl but I decided not to because what would I even say? It’s not her fault. Anyways, I don’t knows what kind of advice I am asking for but I don’t have anyone to talk to about this.
