Ok, this thread is getting old but just want to give an update.
Recently, my bf and I went through a rough patch and we cool off. I thought that was it because I could not look past his wrongdoing.
As the anger subsides, I started to self-reflect on myself. Like some of you said, you can feel that you are very good but it's not what you say that counts. You need to have some close ones to point your flaws to you. Simply put, I was defensive and have an extremely bad temper.
Some things happened at work and let's just say that I stepped on alot of toes during this period. I became more vocal and showed my displeasure even in small stuff. I think some of my colleagues were surprised.
During this period, I go on with my life, work as well as play (spent more time with family and friends). Inside my heart, I know I miss him. I realised I have taken him for granted alot and not that I don't love him. I'm also clear of the fact that I can survive without a bf but somehow, I still want him for one reason. Love.
Then I started to get closer to a colleague, B and we went out a few times. But the thing is, he did not probe if I have a bf. So I thought it's completely platonic. I mean it's not that difficult to know if he asks our colleagues.
Gradually, B started to communicate with me everyday and the frequency of asking me out increases. We stay at completely opposite ends of the island but he would always come fetch me. A nagging doubt starts to form in my head.
Anyways, I decided if I want my bf and if B is interested in me, I should be frank. I mean he is really nice and everything. Is there a way to tell him that we can only be platonic? I mean I have platonic guy friends but we just catch up once in awhile.
Or should I just leave it as it is? I have rejected his invitations a few times already as I don't want him to get the wrong idea. Sooner or later, he will get the idea? However, I hope to make things less awkward so we can still remain as colleagues/friends.
