Advice

Don’t let the past relationship scare you off and prevent you from reaching out to someone new.
Remember that some people may not reciprocate your feelings, but that doesn’t mean you won’t be able to find someone who loves and appreciates you.

Warning

Don’t confuse friendship with love. Sometimes friendship will lead to love, but if you tell that friend that you like them, you can complicate the relationship!
