Time. Just because it didn't work out here doesn't mean you won't find somebody that makes you even happier. I believe every person has an equal amount of good and bad qualities (should they choose to live up to their potential). As you get older and meet more women, you'll realize that there are a LOT of women out there that you are capable of marrying/making it with. You'll meet a lot of people with endearing qualities that make you want to be with them, and on the other hand bad qualities that you may or may not be willing to put up with. Boils down to the old saying "Plenty of fish in the sea".

You just have to love yourself enough to realize that you don't really need anyone other than yourself. It's better when you know that you don't need anyone, and treat it as such. You learn to treat breakups as an opportunity, because that's exactly what they are. You get to meet new people and try to find something better than what you had before. And it's fun as long as you learn to take it casually and don't try to act desparate and make a job out of it. A lot of people I know see dating as a hassle, like they're job hunting or something lol. And in the end they usually settle for less because it's easier. Just an observation, BTW. Just remember that whomever you were with obviously isn't "the one", and to make it blunt you just have to suck it up and move on. It's not a bad thing, just a chance for opportunities to present themselves.

Its just a part of life. dont let it beat you up cause youll never get anywhere then. the first one always sucks but there will always be another. u could also go to a strip club that might help.

lmao, titties and beer can work in a situation like that......but they could also lead to unhealthy spending!!

Yea, don't let it bring down your self-confidence or depress you. This almost definitely isn't the last time this is going to happen to you (or you breaking up with a girl). Take this time to enjoy being single and having time to yourself. When you get bored of that again, go look for another chick. They're usually down at aisle 6 in the supermarket. :)
