Q

Moving On and Moving Forward

How do you move on and move forward from someone—let’s say your guy best friend—who once confessed he liked you, and the feeling was mutual, but you both chose to remain friends? You still spend time catching up, and you’ve talked about how, if one of you ends up in a relationship, you’ll step back and act like strangers—not because you want to, but because there’s a chance the new partner might feel uncomfortable, even if there’s nothing physical between you, just an emotional connection. Nothing much has really changed between you, except you don’t text as often anymore. So… how do you prepare yourself for the moment when your guy best friend eventually gets a girlfriend?
