Hi Vesper,

Do you think you are able to go back to a place where you cease to have romantic feelings for your friend?  The only time I can envisage this happening is when you find someone else to share romance with.  If you are able to contact your friend by text or phone, perhaps you could explain that you have feelings for him which you realize may not be reciprocated and for the time being you will distance yourself from him.  In other words, do both if you are able to.

My instinct tells me that it would be better if you moved on but I know that whatever decision you make, it has to be one that you can live with.

I’m going to be away for a couple of days so I will pick up on your response next week.

Peggy
