What should i do about this?

Two weeks ago my boyfriend left me, saying that he sees me more as a sister, and everyday since then its been hell. It hasn't been the same and i've been crying every time i think about him because i miss him. We were together for six and a half months but we've known each other for two years and i've had feelings for him since the very beginning that turned to love. and it makes it worse when he promised me he would never leave me unless i did something terrible like cheating because he always kept his promises. and i'd never do anything to hurt him. I'm always thinking about all the times we shared and i can't help it. He wants to stay friends and he's been texting and hanging out more with me it hurts and i want to tell him but nothing seems to come out. And i think its because i'm afraid he'll stop talking to me all the way if i do. My friends say they want to help and all they say is he still loves me, give up, or go after him. i'm so confused and i don't know what to do? should i try to get him back? Any help?

    He doesn't still love you or he would have stayed with you. I am basically in your situation. I have an ex, who I love, but he views me as a friend/sister as well. He knows how I feel though because with us, we were engaged and strong enough where I knew he wouldn't leave if I told him. He said he is sorry and he cares...and I know he does. For us it works. For you, it may not. For you, you may have to tell him you need space for a while to deal with your feelings. I suggest that, actually. You sound like you need space to get over him. A friendship between ex's can work. Only when they are completely over each other. The hurt will fade. I promise. It always does. It just takes time.

    Give yourself some time and space away from him, which means no contact. Say that you just need some time to yourself and I'm sure he'll understand. Time will heal these wounds but unfortunately at the moment you are delaying that process by having him constantly in your head.

    You need to get him out of it by occupying your mind on other things. Be it work, studies, hobbies, whatever it is. Things that give you comfort and enjoyment (that's not him) are also things to focus on during this time. Eventually the hurt from the breakup will subside and you will move on from him. Once that's happened you can start talking to him again. I personally think it's good to stay friends with your exes especially when the break up wasn't over anything serious. But you need to give yourself that opportunity to move on from him first otherwise you won't, and you'll find yourself strung up over him and unable to move on.

    All the best

    My guess is he found someone else and doesn't want to hurt you. It does suck but losing a love is part of life and you will get over it. Tell him you have to cut ties and see what he says...it would be easier if you didn't see him. That way you can try to get him out of your system. It's summer time, so go have fun and meet other boys and just get on with things. If you start to get all mushy, remember that he did break up with you and he isn't worth all the pain he brought on. The more fun you have the more he'll wonder if he did the right thing and by that time, you'll be way over him and on to the next boy.

    On the basis of what you've shared with him already (six & a half months together & a friendship before that), I believe that you deserve honesty from him regarding your future.

    What made him change from being your lover to seeing you as a sister ... you need to get some answers to that one at least.

    Hopefully, if your can re-ignite the passion & the love, then you can get back on track together again.

    Honesty is necessary in every relationship.

    Good luck.

    Cheers.

    ok, relax, this is stressfull, but umm you are going threw alot, i'd honestly tell him your feelings, thats the only way for closer, but if he says he don't want to hurt you he'll stay away tell him thats not what you want, it's just you still feel that love and you need time for it to pass if he don't love you back, you have alot on your plate at the moment, if he cares he should be understanding to you

    I can feel how you feel. I am in love with a guy about two years and I cant forget him. I know it hurts but if he told you that he dont see you like his girlfriend but more like his sister you have to move on. Dont try to get him back he doesnt deserve your love.
