I believe my last part of healing is going out there and trying to find someone else. It would help to find a great guy that is better than my ex so I can get him out of mind and stop thinking how great and perfect he is.

But part of me is afraid of getting hurt again, and I'm really not sure I will ever give my heart over again completely. I was like this before my ex, always holding back a little bit. My ex was the first one I really let myself go and fall in love with. He promised me to trust him and that he would never hurt me and I fell for it, so this could make it even harder for me to trust someone again.

I don't really want to hear it means I'm not ready to date yet, and when you are ready you'll know, because honestly I don't want to wait around forever and let too much time go by. I don't want to keep feeling so much for my ex when he has already moved on.

I'm also wondering if the second time around heart break actually hurts more; does this first one come back/resurface to haunt you?

Anyone here have any input or story to share on how they got back out there to find someone else?

I feel the same way, its like any relationship i will be in from now on, i will keep thinking that i have a expiry date like a milk carton and she'll get tired of me and voila again.

I guess this is a post more for the dating section...I guess to a degree though we should always hold a little bit of ourselves back in a relationship?

How about taking your time in the relationship so that you slowly and gradually give 100% of your hearts to each other - after you have earned it for each other.
