 So a month ago, I broke up with my very toxic ex. It was a very hard break up and even though I've taken big steps to getting over him, of course things are not completely cleared up in my head yet. 
  I met my new FP a few months ago playing online video games and we've technically become video game buddies by now. We even exchanged social media and we've been talking regularly (if not everyday). It's clear he likes me as a person and enjoys my company. And.. I know it sounds silly but.. I started noticing that I've become attached.. Sometimes he'll leave me on read and it hurts. If we don't text for a day I miss him. I'm trying to stop myself from getting any more attached but I feel like the only way is to stop playing/talking with him and I feel so bad and don't want to do that.... I catch myself romanticizing him and he actually is one of the most attractive people I've met , both physically and mentally. But it could never work like that between us cause he lives in an other country and is focusing on his studies, he even told me he is taking a break from dating etc and I respect that. 

  So yeah, anyone has any tips to not get further attached to this new person? It's really hard considering how attracted I am to him and my neediness for having someone care for me .. I catch myself making scenarios in my head that obviously will never happen and it hurts .. a lot. Idk if the feelings are amplified because of my break up or what. But I was attracted to him even before I broke up with my ex. (But I obviously didn't act on them)
