I miss not having a girlfriend, what can I do?

My now ex girlfriend split up with me about a month ago, and I miss the memories and the times we shared together more than I miss her, if that makes sense. I miss the intimacy, the morning and goodnight text messages, the feeling of belonging and the high that I never thought would turn into a low. I miss going out for dinner, drinks, theatre all sorts of things we used to do. I've never felt so alive, and at nearly 20, people reassure me that I will feel this again as I'm still young. But, I wonder how long I will have to wait before I feel this again, I feel like a big part of my life is gone, and I guess I want to feel that way again. What can I do to find someone?

You miss the relationship....but is it simply that or are you still in love with your ex?

I have feelings for her, I'm not going to deny that, but I miss the experience as a whole more than the person herself.

OP, maybe you should hook up with "another girl" :P

If life was that easy, there would be no need for a relationships forum on TSR, sadly it isn't.

Well you have to just get back out there and meet more people!

You are young - go and enjoy life and you will find other people you like :smile:

Go out and socialise, meet new people if you don't already know someone you fancy. Basically find someone new.

Also: nothing wrong with being single :smile:

I guess so, apart from my incorrect use of grammar, do you have any advice?

Finding someone new isn't as easy as it sounds, and being single is ok, but being in no relationship IMO is better.

Well, either you do something about this or you don't and find ways to be happier single :dontknow:

Do you know anyone else you fancy? If not, widen your social circle :smile:

time is the best healer. that said, don't lock yourself up away from the world. try to get out there and you'll meet someone along the way! Statistically speaking, you'll definitely meet someone, so don't worry about it.
don't you mean you miss having a girlfriend.
