be the main character in your own life, not a satellite character in some wannabe disney film where the guy only has two lines.

By dating someone new. It's literally the only way to move forward. Feelings can linger for years sometimes but if you meet others you begin to see the things you lacked. The first love is almost never the best. Increasing your experience will help you define more clearly what you want in a partner and it'll be easier to pass up opportunities you know will be a waste of your time.

no, this is fucking dumb, yes it helps some people but OP clearly has a co dependence issue. dude needs to learn to be happy on his own instead of jumping from one relationship to another.

It's been almost a year, that's a reasonable amount of time to look for something new. Op is only longing because he's lonely. Some people are happier with people in their lives

you don't

Psychology disagrees. when you refer to someone as the 'love of your life' this long after a break up its indicative of codependency.
>some people are happier with people in their lives
there is a difference between happier and unable to be happy without.
