Adren, one final question..

This is in response to "Thanks again Adren but...". I have one final question (until the next time!!). I have decided, since term (university) ends in a week, i'm going to stick it out for the rest of term, and be her "friend", and start a fresh next term, and move on from her. I am hoping the time away over easter will help me get over her, at least a bit, and make it easier to delete her out of my life. My question is this, should I tell her what I am doing and why I am going to, in principle, never see her again, and ask her to try and understand that its not that i don't want to be her friend but that i can't keep torturing myself? Or should I just take the step without notifying her? If the former, should I do this at the end of this term, before i leave, or at the start of next term? (I think if i get it over with at the end of this term, then i can try to move on in the break).

Also, she lives practically next door to me, which means that, whether i like it or not, i'm going to bump into her from time to time next term. How should I be? Should I totally blank her, be on "hi" terms as if i'd never seen her before, or be just as friendly but NEVER go out of my way to be friendly to her?

Finally, thank you Adren for all of your advise. It has been hard for me, I have learnt some valuable lessons, and you have helped me through this emotional struggle.

there's no need to tell her.. she won't really care and it'll make you seem weak so don't tell her under any circumstances.. just do it and she'll realize later why.. and when bumping into her just say hi and play nice but don't try to make long conversations or hang out with her.. but you should be polite and acknowledge her.. i know it's tough and it won't be easy getting over her but it's not impossible.. as soon as you find someone new you'll realize how easy it actually was. good luck.
