It doesn’t mean your feelings weren’t real.
It doesn’t mean your friendship wasn’t real.
When your almost relationship ends, its natural to feel sorry for yourself.

Андрей Гаврилюк
Its natural to feel confused and embarrassed and betrayed.
The moments you shared were real.
Maybe they mattered a little more toyou, but that doesnt mean the other person was completely heartless.

It doesnt mean they were laughing at you behind your back the whole time.
It doesnt mean you meantnothingto them.
You have no idea what was going on in their head.
Maybe they were stringing you along because they enjoyed your company but didnt feel a strong spark.
Maybe theythoughtthey were going to date you someday but then someone else came along and distracted them.
Maybe they werent sure how they felt about you but liked having you around.
They must have had some sort of feelings for you, even if they didnt match your own.
It doesnt mean the moments that passed between you werent special.
You shouldnt feel stupid for falling for someone you never ended up dating.
And you shouldnt feel stupid for having a hard time getting over someone you never ended up dating.
Even if you never kissed, you still got to know each other well.
You texted all the time.
You might not have gone on any official dates but that doesnt mean your flirting wasnt real.
It doesnt mean your feelings werent real.
It doesnt mean your friendship wasnt real.
