I am thankful for all those who helped me with advice regarding my recent breakup. No we have not gotten back togther. I do not know what the future will bring, however I do have a life to live. It was not my decision whether I still wanted to maintain or try to fix our problems that we had. My ex made that difficult decision and I respect her for being a strong woman. We were too young and we went too fast; she was a wonderful experience and I do not regret what we did or had. I am still in love with her, but nothing that I could do will change her mind. I have accepted the fact that she will never return to me again. She knows that I have my heart open for her, but the reality is that she will not return. I have started to go out with friends to parties...clubs...and we are going down south of the border to party. I would rather be with my ex than to go party, however; I will have to make my life better by accepting the facts and try to have fun on my own. Thanks again for all the advice, especially about sending that letter I wrote. I know that I would have regreted sending it...I am looking for women I could talk to(not to replace the ex-could never be done)

or get to know, but it is difficult because all I do is compare them to my ex. I know that I am not ready for a relationship, but I want to make girlfriends'(friendship wise), yet I fear rejection...Hrmm other than drinking...How do you become brave again?=)
