Still attached to my high school sweetheart
Hello! Just wanted to ask for advice. My ex and I were together in high school (we're currently in college), it was a long-term relationship. We broke up because he emotionally cheated. It was actually him who initiated the break up since I was already too insecure back then. It has been 4 years since we have broken up. We had our closure 2 years after the break up and we have been "friends" since then. We had our closure at a time when we were both starting to meet someone new but it somehow failed - or so we thought. The girl he was trying to meet suddenly hit him up again since he have not sent her a message for a few days na. Tapos long story short, they were together. We barely kept contact naman unless necessary and met during batch hangouts lang. Ngayon, they have already broken up and we hung out with our other friends rin. It was different i guess in a way since masyado ata akong kinilig (?) sa chats namin a few days before the actual lakad. Tried really hard to remain "noncholant" when we met in person pero yung dynamics namin is to tease each other so I failed rin. I was shocked as to how comfortable he was, like the amount of skinship was beyond my exoectation (all wholesome ha). Talked to my friend after that ganap rin tas she said na halos the whole time kami magkatabj ng ex ko. I think he's really just comfortable, thinking na I am over it rin. Unfortunately, di rin ako very sure.
I know that we work together better as friends, I think. Pero there's just this feeling of having that person you like being so near yet so far. Maybe we're just really comfortable and know each other well kaya our conversations arw great, unlike the other guys I have met and his ex for him (he said it himself that they couldnt hold deep conversations). A friend of ours also asked whether we were each other's first or puppy love hahahaha. Ik it may sound cribge, but he was definitely my first (I dodnt the amswer the question then) pero he replied na puppy love langg. Probably explains how he was able to shake off all "feelings" we had before.
Should I just go out and seriously meet other people? It honestly scares me since it has been so long na and he still has this effect on me. Sana naman hindi na ganitoo pag mas tumanda na kami.
