Hi Heartbrokengurl,

I hear how lonely you are, and how you miss your ex. When I’ve been in that situation, that feeling of loneliness was often accompanied by the thought that it would never end, that I’d never find anyone better, etc.

The fact that you have been trying to date suggests that you actually are moving on. What hasn’t changed (enough), though, is the pain that you’re feeling. Some of that will ease with time. A lot of it, I think, will dissipate when you meet someone who looks into your eyes, and smiles, and sees and enjoys you. He will come along. You’re already doing your best, and give yourself a hug for that. Hang in there.
