ON MY MIND

No matter what I do I can’t stop thinking about my ex

DEAR DEIDRE: EVEN though we split up three months ago, I can’t stop thinking about my ex.

We’re both girls aged 16, and it was our first same-sex relationship.

We met online. It didn’t work out because she didn’t want to come out, as her parents disapproved.

I have tried to contact her to say I want to try again.

But she’s no longer on the app we met through, and I can’t find her on social media.

What should I do?

DEIDRE SAYS: If she didn’t want to come out a few months ago, it’s likely nothing has changed.

She’s made herself uncontactable. Hard as it is, this means she doesn’t want a relationship.

You are best off trying to move on and meet someone who is available for a relationship.

My support pack, Learning To Love, should help.
