It’s been a week since we broke up. We were best friends and they slowly evolved into a crush for me. I had a crush for months when they asked me to be in a relationship and I accepted. 3 months later I find out *she was in a relationship* when she asked me. Fast forward to now and I honestly miss them.
It’s been lonely because we always texted and at least tried to talk every day. We had lunches every day and tried to talk because we were the only friends we had. I want to reconnect but how can I ease my way back to come close to that friendship?
After we broke up, talking to them felt so awkward and uncomfortable because I didn’t know how to go about talking after they lied to me. I know I would have to build back trust in them but it feels now like were strangers or acquaintances. They were an amazing friend, but a bad partner.
Any advice to possibly bridge back our friendship?
TLDR; My best friend/past crush asked me to be in a relationship while they were dating someone else. They have broken up with me but I want to continue being friends.
