Having been single for almost 6 months now, I can't help but feel resentment to those I know in relationships. I know it's a HORRIBLE thing to be feeling, but every single one of my friends and family is now in a relationship and it makes me really upset. Even my ex girlfriend is in a relationship.

 

What's even harder about it is that since all of my close friends are in relationships, I hang around with them less and less as they spend more time with their partners :(

What are you doing about finding a new relationship? Or, don't you want to but still feel left out?

It's difficult to look for love when I still have feelings for her. I've only ever found love when I wasn't looking / least expected it. Based on history, if I go looking I won't be successful.

You and me both.

6 months is a pretty long time to still be stuck on someone, unless it was a very long relationship, IMO.

 

As for going looking, you can instead make it easy for women to find you. Put up a good profile on dating site(s), go online frequently to show as active, and see if anyone makes contact with you. That's how I got all my dates, and my wife found me on a dating site that way.

It's time to expand your horizons. Join some new groups. Take up a sport. Register for a class. Volunteer somewhere.

 

 

Do something that will allow you to meet new people, some of whom will be other single guys so you have someone to hang out with while you are healing from your last relationship.

 

 

If you don't the bitterness will eat you alive.
