You don't have friends

that's not the only kind of "buddy"

Bro

Shit will hurt for a little while. It will take maybe a few months before you completely get over it, but it's not bad to look back on things and remember the good times. Just don't think that there isn't another girl out there.

Have a few hook ups if it's possible. Set up a FWB BUT DON'T GET HOOKED. It will be easy to get emotions since you want that attention and love again, but just fuck around.
Took myself 2-3 months before I was fully over her.

...

i've been there.

spend a few months at least alone, as in, don't try to get into a relationship again too quick due to being sad or lonely. fwbs are fine if you're into that. this is due to a few reasons that i've found to be true:

we develop the most as human beings in our time spent alone. some people's personalities dull down while settling down with somebody for a long time. some people's personalities just change or mesh with their partners. etc etc etc. in one way or another, it usually happens. after a few months your personality will be more genuine to your true self, you won't have troubles comparing other girls to the one who left, you won't have negative vibes anymore, it'll be better.

not to mention everybody grows from bad experiences, whether it be good or bad. don't become sour and jaded, try to keep optimistic.

you'll be ight

You the boyfriend?

Yeah... no homo.

my advice:

Take the time to better yourself. Figure out some things you would like to do/learn and do them. At 22, you have tons of time to find someone to marry (as that seemed to be what you had in mind), even though it might not seem like it.

I am 24 myself and got out of a 3 year relationship last year. Was feeling the same shit - which I think most do if they actually cared for someone. But, I made a list of things that I want to learn and started doing them. Now, I honestly have no current interest in a relationship. Dating here and there, sure, but serious, no not really. I have a lot of other shit I would like to do before having a permanent connection for the rest of my life.

You might think you can't do better, but if you actually do something with yourself and make yourself more skilled and therefore more interesting, there will be much better out there. From what I'm learning, it really doesn't take a whole lot to set yourself apart from the heard either - doing your own thing and not worrying about women seems to actually draw them in lol.

You will get through it. Might take a little while, but you will.

Go out partying and run one thru as many girls as possible.
