Ask Laura
Q: How do you get over a guy you've liked for two and a half years?
A:
Ending a relationship is as full of emotions as the beginning of a relationship. When we start a relationship we are anxious and enjoy every moment of discovering the person and the feelings. We enjoy the long hours together and even the anticipation of each other when we are apart. When it comes to an end it is just as important to take our time to learn and experience what we are experiencing emotionally. Try to discover what went wrong and how you came to this ending. Was it a poor choice in compatibility, or did you rush in with the excitement but not for the right partnering? Why does it make you feel sad? Is it the selfish loneliness, the loss of a friend, dashed hopes of a future, lost friendship? And, lastly don't build a defensive and bitter wall because of love lost. Instead, open your heart with a better understanding of what you can offer a relationship and deeper insight of what love means to uniquely you. Take your time, build friendships, and learn about yourself.
