I’ll try to make this short.
Basically about 4 or so years ago I met my “soul mate”. Never felt that way before or after about anyone else. We clicked instantly and hung out almost every day.
Problem was he had a girlfriend that lived on the other side of the world.
He treated me basically like a girlfriend without the physical aspects.
I ended up telling him I liked him and he said he “couldn’t say anything that wouldn’t disrespect his relationship”.
We remained friends, but I decided to try and date other guys. When I met someone he became single and asked me not to date the new guy, but didn’t give me an explanation.
Well, I dated the new guy anyways because I was young and immature and thought “he had his chance”.
It didn’t work out with the new guy and my friend would openly say how he wanted to beat this guy up/etc. (fyi he is a very nice person, so this was out of character).
Anyways, timing was never right for us and we both ended up in serious relationships. We lost touch over the last 2 years.
Well, I never forgot about him. Although I loved my boyfriend and thought we would be together forever, my old “friend” was in the back of my mind. It seemed strange that we never worked out.
About 3 months ago my old friend became single. I hate to say I felt sad for him, but I also felt relieved. I had wondered for a while how it would feel if I saw him get engaged.
Anyways, I was still very happy in my relationship and thought for sure we would get married and the whole thing. Well, a month ago my boyfriend broke up with me out of the blue, no explanation. I was devastated.
But there was a little voice in my head that thought it was a strange coincidence.
I’ve been considering reaching out, just as a friend, to see what happens from there.
I think I will always have “what if’s” in my head about him if I don’t.
Should I wait a few months? Should I see if he reaches out to me? How should I go about this?
Update: Long story short....he invited himself twice to go to the beach with my friend and I (not complaining), and confirmed that I still had his number.
Thanks so much for giving me the courage to reach out, guys!!!!!!
