I lost the only girl I've ever loved over a year ago. How

>I drifted apart from all my friends when I was with her so I could be closer to her.

That's your problem. You don't want her. You just don't want to be alone.

It's pretty understandable, and the solution is pretty simple. Build relationships again. It's gonna be hard, but not impossible. And after you do, you'll feel a lot better.

Holy shit OP are you me?

Except just over half a year ago
I just work out, and on the worse side I have problems with hearings in about my career etc about the mobbing I was under. So I just work out, sit at parent's home and apply for jobs/courses. I get a bit of relief coming and speaking here.

It's rough. Don't know what else to say, but you're not alone, OP.

Yeah, I don't think I'd be so bad off if I had stayed closer to my friends or had more. I was so infatuated that I thought she was the only friend I needed, and she was certainly the only one I wanted.
>Build relationships again
I'm honestly trying man but I don't know how to turn a casual conversation with a stranger into my best buddy. I talk to qt girls all the time but I still have no idea how to take that step from polite conversation to fucking.

I'd like to say it gets better but I'm still waiting on that part

Baby steps man! Don't rush things!

If you go with an agenda, expecting a lasting relationship out of a simple talk, you'll grow frustrated and disappointed very quickly. Just have fun and let things develop.

That's what I've been trying to do, like I've taken my dog to the park and had lengthy conversations with babes and bros but they always just end with "nice to meet you" and we both go our separate ways.

I think maybe it's a confidence issue, I don't really even know how to ask a girl out or what to say to them, but then I get to thinking and I realize that I also don't know what to say to guys either, I'm just spared of having to ask them out.

I found that I was fine for the first few months, then got really bad. For me I noticed I just could not get the motivation to try as hard as I used to before her.

Before I had to move back in with my parents a month back, I used to go out to bars/clubs by myself on drinks special nights. After a few drinks I managed to get good conversation going and made friends I could go clubbing for girls with, but then had to move back with the rents due to money issues. I had also met the ex when a friend of mine got too drunk and depressed and ditched me when we planned to go out, and I'd gone by myself (and taken ecstasy lol)

You could try that as well. I even noticed how this time around I had less success as my depressed mood left me being the gloomy ass fuck smoking at the outside area/beer garden in the corner. But despite that still managed good conversation after some pints.

Also feel lucky that you still have the options haha, I have absolutely no way of doing that atm and for the next foreseeable period.

Wait one more year and you'll slowly turn jaded
