belle, i don't know if it helps to realize that most of us giving you advice have learned these lessons the hard way too. we've experienced much heartache as you are now experiencing and sometimes we've made the same mistakes in relationships over and over before we finally realized we had to do things differently. none of it is easy to do (but so easy to say) and it is a process, but i think as you come to realize what a valuable person you are you won't feel the need to rush into relationships either physically or emotionally or feel like you have to stay friends with a guy once a relationship ends. it's okay to say no and set boundaries with guys. be true to yourself beautiful belle.
