Unfortunately mon ami sometimes it happens and its harsh and whatever people tell you it doesn't make it any easier really.

Thing is it isn't hard to meet people depends on your lifestyle and yes your personaility. You might do it online or through work or a hobby education etc. Usually as the cliche goes its when you are not looking. Lets be honest if you are needy and can't be comfortable on your own then you won't keep someone as happy as you want them to be as your issues will get in the way.

For a lot of girls and guys having a confident partner is half of the attraction and for you right now sorting yourself and yoru confidence out should be your only real concern.

I had the same thing twice now and tbh I have always realised sometimes you just ain't suited and it happens the point is don't dwell on the negatives do things that help you get on with everything. Maybe a new hobby or do something that will help sort what you are unhappy about.

Take care of yourself. You probably feel like you need somebody else to make you feel better, but you can actually do it. Not that it will be easy, but you can. Cook something, bake something, go to a movie, take a bath, listen to your favorite song, call your friends, whatever it takes.

And its true you will probably have a hard time meeting somebody until you no longer feel totally heartbroken. But remember, that day will come.

It's nice you want to find somebody to spend the rest of your life with, that makes you a really special person. But you have lots of time to find her. Consider having some fun in the meantime!

Sorry to hear about your recent break up.

Try putting yourself out there. When I say that, I mean find something to do with your interests. Like a club or something(not the 'clubbing' kind of club, either!)

Even if you don't find a girlfriend, you'll make more friends...and then maybe you'd possibly meet a girl that way.

Know what your going through mate, it will get better, its the way we are build! I think if your not one of these confident types that seem to be so plentiful everywhere these days then it is very hard to meet someone. I suppose the standard advise of getting to be at ease with yourself alone, building new friendships with people, then love will pop up when you least expect it.

Take care,
Paul

Ive been there mate, 7 year relationship ended this year after I was cheated on repeatably.

I am looking forward to my future now though, past is in the past and thats the end of that.

Also if you try too hard you tend to get more frustrated and down in the dumps.

About a month ago I split up with my girlfriend as well (1 1/2 years). I loved her to pieces and it's taken a while to settle and get to grips with everything again. It's difficult as someone becomes such an intimate and important part of your life after being with them for so long, and even now I still find little things like notes in my wallet and old pictures.

Glad to hear that you're feeling a bit better about your break-up, stemo. Everyone here seems to be pretty friendly and helpful so I'm sure I'll enjoy visiting!

Maybe he doesnt want women you did.

Think about it lol

I just pretend its big

See, when arranged marriages come back into fashion (and they will one day soon, mark my words) the problem of finding a partner will be a thing of the past.
