Quoted:
My girl dumped me a week ago and it gets worse every day. We had been fighting on and off for about two months over dumb things. Last week she said that she didn't want to be together anymore. It hurts. We were together for two and a half years. I thought that she was the one for me. Any advice on how to deal with it.

Go ask out lots of females, and don't worry about the consequences when you do- if you fall off a horse, get right back on again, so as not to lose one's nerve. To women, nothing's worse than some guy who has lost self-confidence. Be honest with women, but DON'T dwell on your heartache with them. After being in a relationship for a long time, one forgets how to deal with unknown members of the opposite sex, so, be warned- you might get lots of rejection, but you do get used to it. (Remember, you had been single before you met the last one, and you lived through that time, too.)
They're not rejecting you, they're rejecting a stranger, so don't take it personally. Just keep on going, and eventually you will get over it- and nothing makes one get over a lost love like a new one, to take your mind off the old one. Just don't hang out with someone who is not suited to you, just because she's available- a REAL drag....
Other than that, have fun with hobbies, volunteer work, family and friends, and just keep going, with a positive attitude, even when you feel like dying inside. Life does get better.
Been there, got through it.
