So I (22M) met a junior colleague about 5 months ago. We got close really fast – late-night talks, after-office walks, and had moments also, where it felt like we had feelings for each other. She had told me she didn't want a relationship, but we kept spending time together anyway.

A few months back, she told me she likes another quy she's known for 1.5 years, and that he's well-settled. She even went on a trip with him, and it broke me completely. I cried, but told her to go anyway. She consoled me and I tried to recover.

Now it's been over 3 months since I moved to another city. We still talk on calls, but I'm missing her badly. Before, it felt mutual, but now it feels completely one-sided since she considers that guy her boyfriend. I know she once had feelings for me, but things have changed.

I don't know what to do – should I distance myself, stay friends, or move on completely?

TL;DR: Got close to a junior colleague 5 months ago (late-night talks, walks, mutual feelings). She later told me she likes another guy she’s known longer and now considers him her boyfriend. I moved cities 4 months ago but still talk to her often. I miss her badly, but it feels one-sided now. Should I stay friends, distance myself, or move on completely?
