I am in a similar situation (I’m 22 years old, female) with a man who is 29. We dated for about 3 years, and things ended in disaster. I am seeing someone else currently, but am not happy because I KNOW that this other man is the person I am supposed to be with. I can feel it in the deepest of my heart. I still talk to this person everyday and usually see him 4 or 5 times a week (no sexual relationship at all, just hang out as friends), and it tears my heart out every time because I know he is the right person for me, and I know I’m with the wrong person. I believe if we gave it another try, we could work through all of our difficulties because we have both grown so much over the past couple years, but, he will have none of it. I’ve tried talking to him, but he is just at the point in his life where he is burned out from seeing anybody and he needs to be alone. He also has not dated anybody since we broke up (3 years ago.) The only thing I can say is that I guess there will come a point in time where you are either going to pursue this girl you want (and there will be one of two outcomes there–either, she’ll accept, or decline), or you’re going to walk away from the whole situation because it hurts too much. I haven’t reached that point yet, I still keep holding out hope that this guy will have a change of heart and decide to give things another shot. Trouble is, if you’re trying to make this girl “realize” that she is the right one for you, you are without a doubt wasting your time and you will drive yourself to the brink of insanity. Everyone has their own mind and feelings, and you can’t make her realize feelings for you that she just straight up doesn’t have. Maybe she really does, but that’s going to be her decision to come around to them and acknowledge them, and ultimately act upon them. There is nothing you can do, bugging her about it will only drive a wedge between the two of you (believe me on that). Until then, you’ve got time and that’s about it. So take your focus off of the situation for right now. Focus on something you can make a positive impact on (I know that sounds corny and ridiculous but it’s true.) Hope this helped at least a little–hang in there, and say a prayer for me too while your at it. :)
