My best friend and I have been seeing each other. He tells me he loves me, but is still hurting form his ex, and can't commit right now.
He is moving away in 3 days.
I can't face him, because I know that I am totally in love iwht him, and I know he doesn't feel the same way.
i don't know if I can handle the good bye.
please help

I know how hard it is, something somewhat similar happened to me. A few days before we were to say our goodbye I had really some good cries. I cried everything out, I told him in "my cries" everything I would have wanted to say in real life, which of course I DID NOT say, but I let it ALL out in those cries. I played every song that reminded me of him, and said to myself that someone will come eventually that will love me back as much I love them. I cried my heart and sould out.
So the day of our goodbyes, I told him goodbye and did not shed ONE tear. I had already said goodbye to him in those cries and there was nothing left to cry. I KNEW he respected me for that and after that he would call me or email to see how I was doing, at one point even asked me out. By that time I had moved on, but when I think about that day, I'm always happy to know that I maintained my dignity and composure and that he gain respect for me for not breaking down. Maybe my story can help you out. Good luck :)
