How to Get Over Him

So I have been talking to this one boy for about three months. I knew he liked me and he knew I liked him. So we flirted for about a month and then shit hit the fan. Out of nowhere, he said to my best friend, not to me, that I don't see her like that. She only told me because she wanted to make sure I didn't make a fool of myself. So I confronted him about it and he played the card "I only meant I liked you as a friend." It really hurt but I took the hint and backed off.

Well a week later, he started flirting with me again and I was super confused but went along with it because I still had feelings for him. Well I thought we were actually going to be a thing this time and so I guess I jumped the gun and asked him to hoco because fuck gender roles. He said yes. Nothing about anything else. So I was so freaking happy.

Well later that day I get a message from a my good friend telling me that he was trying to hook up with his ex again. I was a little taken back and a bit schooled in disbelief. So I asked him about hoco and was just seeing what was true without giving away all my cards. Turns out he just wanted to go to hoco as friends and he was trying to talk to his ex again.

Also minor detail, I was the main cause of him breaking up his relationship. No I'm not a home wreaker and I didn't see my feelings then. It was a extremely toxic relationship and I was just trying to pull my best friend out of something nasty.

Another detail, the same boy asked me out three years ago and I said no only because he asked me out over text. Then I didn't realize he would not get the hint that I had also left saying that ask me out in person and the answer will be yes but anyways back to the story.

So I was trying to be calm about the whole situation but I just let all my emotions out. I was angry that he lead me on and how he just kinda left me behind. I am leaving out a lot of small things because this is already really tricking long.

So I didn't talk to him for about two weeks.

That leads me to today. I had recently seen his ex, who used to be good friends with me. I chatted with her and told her I wasn't gonna be talking to the boy because he still liked her. She didn't sound shocked and was okay. So then today I got a text saying pretty much "F*** you for ruining my friendship with my ex" blah blah blah. Me being more calm. I responded with a "I'm sorry you think I did this." I was just trying to be nice. Now he is being a dick to me and my best friend.

But now brings me to what I was needing. I'm a naturally clingy person and so when this started I clingged to him. But now I need to detach but I still have feelings for him and I just want to get over them but I don't know how. I'm sorry for the long backstory but I needed somewhere to vent and find a solution.
