I have my final year of University and I have just got a real good part time job as an I.T. manager. As I am only 21 everything is going good and I have a few festivals and holidays to look foward to and ill be real busy with work and Uni for next year.

At your age I can see how going to the pub with a load of boring old people doesnt help. I suggest that you perhaps go away on a singles holiday or activity holiday alone!! Go start new things and meet new people. If your not happy then make active changes your life and make it happen for you. Through one sport I have done for 13 years I met alot of my current friends through friends of friends etc. Get out there!

Cheers for the inspiration Jiser I will take it on board

I know this was 2 yrs ago, but my honest opinion on this matter is that you have to let it breathe, and as hard as it seems you can't sit around, counting down the days since you last saw her or talked to her, that will just make you miserable. You need to repair yourself emotionally. I know it I've been through it, heck we all have at some time or another. It sounds a lot easier said than done but its true. You have to work on you. Because if you go back into the relationship again, you don't want to come into it the same person. You want to have a fresh aspect on things, and become a better man. Avoid rebounds, they only get you in trouble, and you don't want to hurt someone else emotionally as you will probably allow them to be your emotional doormat because your not over your ex. I found that getting out of the area completely helped me. Which means avoiding areas that you once frequented with her, this will just conjure up bad memories. Sad memories, really.
