Mostly B: You can be friends with the person but you are not really interested in it and you know it won’t affect you either way.

Mostly C: You are still attracted to the person physically and that’s probably the only thing keeping you around. If the person wants to move on, you should probably back off and let the person find happiness somewhere else.

Mostly D: You are clearly not over this person and you need to give yourself time apart to heal. It’s best to keep contact to a minimum.
