Even if you don't cut ties with her the friendship will fade away over time anyways. So do you want the fast way out or the torturous way instead?

It’s neurochemicals wreaking havoc on your emotions. Billions of little synapses firing and releasing dopamine and noradrenaline from the nerve endings that leach out into the blood stream and influence your heart rate, the sweating in your armpits and even the butterflies in your stomach.

Once you realise that you’ve been taken for a ride by these naughty neurochemicals, you can start to take back control of your life by engaging in other activities that release similar neurochemicals - eg exercise, playing games or falling in love with someone else.

Ain’t no sane self respecting man or woman should ever be held hostage by a bunch of molecules.

if you breakup did shed tear and I mean not one time of crying only but continuously. If yes then good if not then just puppy love

Of course i mean you. Of course now you shed tears but let see again few months later and i will ask you again

Well you can have that mindset that mean its not love or just puppy love. Mine also have two kids and I dont really mind though there are certain things to discuss and clear out

No why give up? especially she is now single and ready to mingle. Continue trying. That's life.. I always believe it's the continue effort you pour in which makes a difference

The trick is to make her want you more then you want her......hahaha all the best dealing with opposite sex mental games

The best time is the part  chasing and courting.. after that it's going to be stable

Guess you got no experience in this kind of stuff ah?

I'm one who got through that feeling years after cutting off the friendship. For context, I used to like someone at work (he's single) and we got kinda close as friends, to a point he started suspecting I liked him. Eventually I confessed, but got rejected that he only treated me as a good friend. We stayed friends (at my request), but I found myself more and more stuck in the loop. At first I was conflicted and was bad at processing my emotions, mind you I was crying every night, then decided to chase after him anyway, by asking him out 1:1, giving up after like 10 rejections throughout the year?

He left the company after, still single, but we still keep in contact on chat. Again many months later, I realised I was never getting over without cutting contact, so I abruptly blocked him and that's really when I started moving on I guess. Nightly tears became monthly fast forward to now... Never.

I don't know how others are able to stay friends and get over someone they like romantically, but I know I'm not one of them. Sounds like we're of the same kind, so I'd suggest you the same too. You can always try asking her out a few more times and you might get a different ending than me (I have a bf now and it's not him lol), but bear in mind that each attempt and longing will keep your feelings for her strong(er), so give yourself a limit to know when it's time to take over.

I don't know if this is good for you OP but I had a similar experience where she reject me and stay as friends/ bro.
but after some time again, I succeed and we are getting married soon

Can share what she did to bring herself down from the pedestal you placed her on?

Consider it a lesson learnt, my friend. RM100 to unmask the true intentions of a person is a cheap way to learn the truth about a person's character.

OMG... you dodged a bullet there, my friend!!!!

It's great that you had decided to cut ties. 😁
