[RetroMan]

I split up with my girlfriend about a month and a half ago...kind of mutual because she was going to university, and although we tried the long distance thing for a couple of months, we decided it wasn't really working for either of us so we called it a day.

At the moment, I'm finding myself quite depressed. It's quite debilitating to have to go back to where I was before I found her...without sex or any one-on-one female company. I feel the need for a rebound or just some fun/casual thing to lift my spirits but I feel like I've lost confidence a bit. I sometimes feel like I got lucky with her but it will never happen again.

I've often been told that I'm a good looking and nice guy, but I don't find that helps at all. I've got a friend who is pretty average looking (and short) but has the gift of the gab, and seems to be able to just go to women that he knows, suggest sex and actually, alot of the time, gets it! I wish I could do that but I feel like I'd probably just end up sounding like a pervert.

Apart from being very much on the slender side, physically I don't think I have anything to worry about. As for being a nice guy, shouldn't have anything to worry about there either. My ex had previously about 5 'boyfriends' but said that I was the first man that she had ever fallen in love with. I was also responsible for giving her the first orgasm she'd ever had because she'd never really enjoyed sex before.

Just want to know why I feel so inferior and helpless right now and wondered if there was anyone who has been in my situation and felt the same? Stories to tell...etc?
