Your advice indeed is well-pointed-out. It’s just that…well, it’s a sticky situation when love is involved. Even though I know it was a good decision to hold back, I still can’t help feeling if it was actually the right one or not to keep fooling myself, y’know?

Ah well, let the dice roll.

Not that you asked for advice, but I was in a rebound relationship once. It lasted 2 weeks. So perhaps the protagonist is very wise despite the irony.
