I desperately need some help and advice. So I have this friend who I really like but I've been stuck in the friend zone for a while. He knows I like him but he's told me he's not looking for a relationship with me. We were friends before this so we were still friends after but everyday I feel like I'm suffering. He always talks to me about other girls and sometimes I just can't take it. I've stopped talking to him before and I was doing really good but then he started talking to me again cause he said he missed me and didn't wanna lose my friendship. I started being friends with him again cause I told myself I could handle it even though I knew I couldn't, but now I think it's time to lay off again. I still like him but I know that we'll never be anything more than friends. I won't be able to handle it when he gets a girlfriend so I don't wanna wait around for that. For the past three days I've been trying to not text him but it's been really hard for me. I put him on mute but I still check to see if he's sent texts, which he does, so I keep responding. Every time I text him I feel pathetic. I've tried to keep myself busy with social media but that hasn't helped. I can't hang out with friends because I don't have any. He's really my only friend which is one of the maim things making it hard for me not to talk to him. I do have my best friend but she lives in my old state and isn't always able to text. Does anyone have any advice for me or anything I could do to keep from texting him?
