"Starting Over"

[Losing_Control]

I became really good friends with this guy about four months ago. We became even closer in two months ago and then a month later we started dating.

I was completely comfortable with him before we started dating; I told him absolutely everything. We had 4 and 5 hour conversations; we texted non-stop. Once we started dating, we got what we wanted and we stopped working for our relationship. We lost our communication; we're closer, but we're further away from each other.

We recently decided that we rushed into our relationship; he suggested that we "start over". We removed the label and we're no longer officially dating. We're currently just friends, but we are working towards getting back together. We are trying to communicate more and hopefully I'll gain my sense of comfort back. Then, we're going to take things slower this time around.

I know that this is what is for the best, but it still hurts just the same. Has anyone ever done this before? Do you think it'll help? Is there anything I can do to make this easier?

It's good that you two figured out that things weren't exactly ideal right away, instead of later down the road when you were together for some time.

I'm not sure there is any way to make it easier for you. However, you said you lost the comfort and the closeness you had before you began dating. Maybe this is a sign that a relationship between the two of you isn't going to work? It's possible that your more suited to being just friends, instead of having the label of boyfriend and girlfriend. Give it some time and bring up the subject again, asking whether or not he feels that way about having a relationship?

Don't worry. That was the right decision.
Everything will be fine!!
Best of luck
