..and this wasn't even a relationship.

Hi everyone. It's been a while. To make a long story short, I've been crushing on a friend for a few weeks. Yesterday we were IMing each other and he started ignoring my messages out of the blue. I know for a fact he was still logged on and talking to other people. So was I. Same thing happened today. I thought it was his turn to reply so didn't message him, obviously. I was deeply hurt when he forgot my birthday earlier this year even though he'd promised he wouldn't, but he apologized and we managed to talk it through. I think this is the last straw. I've been crying for two days now. This "friendship" is over for me.

Some background info: we're both in our 20s, we're both 100% single (i.e. not even casual dates). I've been single for a few years (I was dumped, heartbroken, and developed OCD) and I intend to stay that way. I didn't "fight" this crush because I thought it would be counterproductive.

Thank you for reading this.

Well if he's been ignoring you then you should move on and know that there is someone out there that is better for you and will go out of their way to WANT to talk to you and WANT to be with you.
Thanks for this!

Sure, I was glad to read it. I hope you will be able to get over your hurts at some point. Obviously that guy wasn't interested in you. But maybe one of these days the right one will come along.....

Me too, I just feel that it's a waste of time trying to find someone else to share life with. Inevitably, something that breaks up the relationship will happen. I should just keep on using the "do not disturb" bit of my body language until I die.

I say pamper yourself. That is what I do. I attract more good people when I love myself and treat myself well. I hope you feel better soon.
Thanks for this!

Thanks everyone. I'm all for the no contact rule and I'm feeling a little better.

Nope. No way. I can't be friends with someone I don't trust.
