That's probably the only thing that hasn't changed from my freshman year - the fact that my longing has not subsided, but my vision certainly is a lot more clearer. My set of collective traits as a guy has put me in a lot of tight predicaments. I dunno - I think that girls think that guys can just turn that mode on or something, like we can just forget about all the times spent together and immediately think platonically. It complicates matters even further if the guy is naive. So, women can most easily break a man.
Women have the potential to prevent a man from functioning properly, if at all.
Also consider that it's not entirely her fault, either. Consider the context of any breakup, and you will find that if the man fell, it is because he let himself fall. A girl can push any man to the brink, but it is the man who decides whether he wants to give up and topple over the edge or try his best to save himself and recooperate. Like with most puzzles, the simplest answer is often times the correct one. Quite simply, I've been through it.
