Ex boyfriend gone public with new relationship online

[Lucy Loverheart]

Hello,

 

An ex boyfriend who didn't treat me very nicely (e.g. didn't take me out on dates, do anything romantic, introduce me to his friends, change his status online from single to "in a relationship" for me) someone whom i dated for over a year and finished with (it was mutual though admittedly we had no future and i don't want him back). but the thing is this has caused my self esteem to evaporate and has left me feeling very sad, unwanted, ashamed and angry. i know the first steps in all of this is to assess my self confidence and really value myself - i mean - how could i go out with someone who treated me like that? but it hurts so much to know that he never went public with me, that he is treating his new girlfriend really likely. it makes me feel as though i ought to stop dating all together. i don't think i can handle being hurt and used again in this way. how can i stop these feelings go away? I'm not short of admirers but I'm constantly disappoinyted by the string of players i seem to attract, i really am trying to move on - i have been going out with my mates and been on a few dates but all the guys i have dated have just wanted to sleep with me. please don't think i'm a wimp or a zap - i'm not - i have a perosnality and friends and am fun/interesting to be around. i am just having a hard time dealing with this right now. your advice and help would be greatly accepted. xxxx

Yeah I know how that feels, the girl I was with had pictures of her previous BF all over her Myspace, wrote about him in her "About me" section, then when she got with me, hardly any of her friends knew who I was, she never took pictures with me, never mentioned me, etc. I didn't really care but I did notice and I thought it was strange.

 

Anyways, you just gotta try not to worry about it. Sign up for a dating site, upload a few nice pictures, make it clear that you're not looking to "hook up", and meet some new people.
