How do I handle the friend zone better? Me and a guy were really close to being a thing. He liked me and I liked him, but unfortunately we had to be apart for a while and he met someone else. I kind of knew he lost feelings based on him texting me less and less, but it still hurts. We both want to be friends, but I'm taking some space from him for a bit to accept that I can never date him before I keep talking to him. I was really into him tho, and it hurts that he didn't put effort into even trying to stay together like I did. I tried so hard to still be close to him, but he gave up despite telling me dating was still a possibility. Even tho he told me anything could happen while we were apart, it still hurts that he met someone else. How can I get over it? He's a good friend and I really want to be friends with him, but I'm scared about what if I can't handle seeing him with someone else.

One of the replies suggests that different methods work for different people when it comes to dealing with such situations. You could try meeting new people and making meaningful connections to get your mind off him. When he messages you, try to show less interest or leave him on read as well. This won't necessarily change his interest or disinterest in you, but at the very least, you can do what's best for you and try to move on.
