goohoo Posted March 3, 2012 Posted March 3, 2012 So, my b/u story is here if it matters: http://www.loveshack.org/forums/breaking-up-reconciliation-coping/breaks-breaking-up/316063-love-story-over But, I'm not looking for advice on that, I'm looking for a bit of advice on another matter. My ex gf and I have been broken up now for 3 months. I was the dumper.. went through some life changes during those months, opened my eyes and realized how much she really did mean to me and that I wanted to be with her, but by this time there was someone else who was basically sweeping her off her feet (read the post if you want details). I'm on day 4 of NC and the last time we spoke was in person it was basically a "I still love you and would give it another shot, but feel this is an opportunity I shouldn't pass up" type ordeal. I'm not exactly the most social of guys, and I don't keep very many people close, so I don't really have much in the way of a circle of friends to go hang out with to get me out of the house. My one real friend is having major health issues at the moment, so hanging with him is out of the question. I have things to occupy myself at home, but it's just getting old fast. So, here's my question... Should I look into online dating sites? And I'm strictly going to suggest I'm looking for friendship at the moment, because the pain of losing my ex is still so fresh. But, I feel like getting out and having some fun and meeting new people would really help ease the pain and get my mind off of things, all while opening myself up to the possibly of even meeting someone (not that I want that right now, but I do try to stay open-minded). Is this a good idea, or does it seem more like I'm trying to desperately cope with the loneliness and social withdrawal?
