Can't get over an old love

I've known him for 2 years, we have never been together, just FWB. But I realised I have been in love with him for a long time.. I have tried to meet other guys, and since then I have been interested in others but nothing deeper.

I would like to be with someone, but I feel numb with other guys. I met someone who really likes me, and he is attractive and has everything to please, but I feel absolutely zero. It's nothing against him, it's just that my heart is elsewhere. I want to have feelings for him but I can't..

I don't even really see/speak to the guy I love anymore, so it's not that I am not trying to move on.

Is there anything else I can do, or do I just have to wait it out? I want to stop loving him because I know he doesn't want to be with me. He knows I love him and now our friendship is a mess.

I don't want to go on like this forever; it's making me depressed. I know there are so many nicer guys out there but I literally don't care about any of them as a result.

You say you don't really speak to him, but:

Delete any messages between you and him

Remove him from social media etc

Block his number

Keep meeting new people

You'll get bored in these conditions and move on
