Was with my ex for seven months, three of which we didn't see each other cause she was home for the summer. She broke up with me about five weeks ago.

we weren't really together for that long a time, and I've had five weeks now to deal with it. But for some reason I'm still struggling, and I feel pathetic.

I don't know, I just find myself still neurotically checking her blog all the time, almost like a compulsion. And I go mad trying to work out if she's fucking someone else, if she misses me at all, etc etc. When really I should just be doing what I should have done in the first place and letting go. She's done, it's well and truly over, and I just have to accept that. She's perfectly entitled to do whatever she likes, and I just have to accept that. I don't know why it's taking me so long too.

We didn't even really have a super close, 'lovey' relationship. For the most part we pretty much just hang out almost like friends with benefits. But somewhere along the line I got seriously attached without even knowing it was really happening.

I think the problem was I got exactly what I wanted and more. When I first saw her, in a club, I was jaw dropped. Something about her grabbed me immediately and I knew I had to talk to her. I genuinely thought that she was one of the most attractive girls I'd ever seen, I don't think I've ever felt such an instant, intense attraction to someone like that. I absolutely knew that I had to talk to her. So I sucked up my nerves and went over.

I understand that phrase 'be careful what you wish for cause you just might get it', now. Because I did. That night, and many other nights after, I got exactly what I wanted. She seemed to really like me, we defiantly seemed to get on well, very well in fact, after my last relationship it seemed amazing. She was the one who wanted to make it 'official'. But I tried to keep myself a bit emotionally distant and keep it cool because I didn't want to seem desperate or needy, or let her know how much I actually loved her. Idk, I felt like if she knew that she wouldn't be as interested, I'm not sure why. So I kept it cool.

Another reason might be that I waited all summer for her, just to get dumped six weeks into term. Waiting three months, being really excited for her to come back, and then just getting dumped after less than two months. Seemed like a bit of a waste.

And I guess the main reason was just that I really fucking liked her. We had such a fun time. My last relationship was full of arguments, controlling behavior, manipulation, all that good stuff, and not much fun. And she was so easygoing, easy to get on with and have a good time with.

But it is done now. And there's nothing I can do about it. And I really, really need to just accept that and get on with it. I worried sometimes before that she was going to dump me, but there was always a text from her a few days later, asking to meet up. And I need to accept the fact that there isn't going to be anymore of those. When my phone buzzes, it's not going to be her name, and that slight hope in my chest needs to fade entirely. I'm tired of feeling shit at the idea of her fucking other guys. Even if she's not now, she obviously is going too eventually, and I do need to accept that it's going to happen.

I've blocked her blog and deleted her phone number. I've also blocked the blog of the guy that I think she might be sleeping with. I'm sick of feeling like a little bitch, trying to work out from subtle hints on their blogs if they're actually fucking each other. So what if they are. I'm sure eventually I'll get someone else too. Although atm it really doesn't feel like I'll find anyone like her again, and I've sort of written myself off, I got her in the first place so that means I can get someone else right? But no one's ever really blown me away like she did:( I don't know whether it's a good thing or not that I got what I wanted.

Sorry, reasonably drunk and done a few lines of coke so I'm feeling pretty ranty and venty, this is more just a vent than anything.
 
It's okay to vent.

It's nice that you found someone that you really liked. That wasn't manipulative and a not-so-good relationship. You know why? Because you can have that again, but better. She obviously wasn't into the relationship. But you will find someone who is.

Keep busy. I think you know that. But actually do it. Keep yourself busy, avoid thinking about her.
 
That sucks to hear man. I feel your pain. As llama said keep yourself busy man. In my experience, sitting around abusing drugs (especially alcohol ime) really just makes you dwell over the situation even more and puts you into a depressive down spiral.

Talk to new girls and flirt with them. I know it seems like you won't find another one 'like her' everyone thinks that at some stage, but you gotta get on with life and move forward. Easier said then done though, I know.

Defiantly stop looking at her blogs, or fb or other social network sites she uses. I used to do the same thing, it's not needed though and your not letting yourself move on from her by doing this.
 
I really think it sucks that people have to feel like they have to be distant, so they don't seem desperate. Why is that such a thing now? What's wrong with saying I love you or telling the person you really like them or something like that? I think it sucks that people feel they need to be distant to keep a relationship. That's total shit, and it makes things confusing.

But anyway, don't feel ashamed for needing time to get over someone. There's nothing wrong with that.
 
Keep busy... I know, easier said than done, but for starters... Lay off the blow and the drank. Trust me, it doesn't work. Surround yourself with good friends, try not to remain alone for too long. You will get through it man, and you will be stronger than you were before. I promise.
 
the problem with actually getting with girls you find really attractive (and I don't just mean physically) is that you raise the bar too high and other people just don't seem to compare.

Another thing that might have been a problem is sex. I'm allowed to go into details on here right? When I was with my other ex, who was abusive both physically and mentally, for the last six months of our three year relationship I was unable to have sex with her. It was sort of impotence, but not really, my confidence was just so shattered by her, I can't really explain it. And when that ended I thought i'd never be able to have sex again, lol.

So sex with this new girl was a bit slow at first. We had our moments, were we properly connected and had good sex, it's just most of the time it was average. It sounds stupid but after my confidence was shattered it was almost like being a virgin again, I had to sort of learn everything again, rebuilding my confidence from the ground up. and I was a bit nervous at first, which isn't what girls want from a sexual partner haha. God I must sound pathetic. So even though it was good sometimes, I get the impression that she was a bit sexually unfulfilled. However she didn't actually ever tell me this do there wasn't really anything I could do about it, I asked her if she wanted me to do anything different and she always said it was fine.

In a way I suppose I should just be glad that even though it was slower and shitter than it should of been, after my other ex it's good that I managed to build at least some sexual confidence back. This time last year I didn't think i'd ever be able to have any sex of any quality again, lol.
 
you still miss her because you still like her, and that's perfectly fine

and also I do not enjoy seeing humans mask their emotions so they don't appear needy and desperate. I guess I'm the opposite, as when I really like someone there is not stopping my constant affection and adoration. and imagine if you would have opened up more for this woman? would you have been a better lover? would you perhaps have been more confident in bed?

but actually, don't imagine that, because you need to get over her. time heals all wounds my friend, so just focus on yourself. if anything, you should be extremely happy that this relationship was a pretty decent one as compared to your manipulatively horrible relationship before

after the fact, I try to think of every one of my relationships as a force that presents me with an opportunity to grow. don't you feel like after every one of your girlfriends, you have learned a lot about yourself? so grow :)
 
She was the one who wanted to make it 'official'. But I tried to keep myself a bit emotionally distant and keep it cool because I didn't want to seem desperate or needy, or let her know how much I actually loved her. Idk, I felt like if she knew that she wouldn't be as interested, I'm not sure why. So I kept it cool.

It sounds like you shot yourself in the foot tbh. She wanted a relationship, and you gave her the impression that you didn't so she moved on. I don't know how it ever became uncool to just be direct and say what you mean. If you love someone just tell them, you might not get another chance. Playing games is so 4th grade and as you learned the hard way can backfire.

I really think it sucks that people have to feel like they have to be distant, so they don't seem desperate. Why is that such a thing now? What's wrong with saying I love you or telling the person you really like them or something like that?

Ok fine... You beat me to it. Happy? lol
