Why does it hurt so much?

[Alyssa]

In this situation when you have had feelings for someone that intense it is best to cut off all communication with him. Even facebook or any other social media. Any comunication will just bring back the memories and false hope.

As far as it seeming like he didn't like you as much as you liked him it is not necessarily the truth. Guys in general hide their feelings. He may say thinking about you doesn't affect him much but in reality it very well could. The fact that he still comunicates with you shows he had to have liked you a lot at one point because a lot of guys just leave forever after a relationship.

Spend some time for you. Treat yourself. Often after a breakup you begin to not like yourself, so I advise that you do what it takes to love yourself again. Then slowly get back into the dating game if you are ready. Don't jump into a relationship, just casual dates from time to time and then when you are ready for another relationship take it from there. Best of luck to you.
