Make sure your friends know you're not looking for love, try to make sure everyone knows, tell a friend, tell him or her to tell someone else they trust (and so on- is this a stupid idea? I think it would work though). People won't try to hit on you and they will just stay friends.Make boundaries, don't let people get ''too close'', keep your distance from them if you feel like his or your feelings are evolving towards love :). Rationalize people, don't love with your heart, love with your head. Think about how this guy might help you and care for you, on the other hand if you feel like you're falling in love with a bad boy you can think about it and then take some distance so you don't get hurt again. If the chance is small for him to hurt you and you've thought everything through maybe you can have a relationship again? (if you want to ofc).Try to give the right ''signs'' when talking to a guy. Keep a straight face when he tells a joke that isn't funny, don't touch him (this has a way bigger impact than you would think) and don't text first :) . Are you sure you want to do this, living a loveless life? You have to be brave to love, determine for yourself if you're brave or not :) But whatever you do what makes you happy is the right thing to do. Being happy isn't the same as not being lovehurt...Goodluck!
