It has been exactly half a year now that she dumped me and it

Cut all contact with her. Don't talk to her. Don't meet up with her. Don't look at her. You just need to get over her and realize that she is never coming back nor will you ever been in a relationship with her. Just move on. And, don't go on Tinder for anything other than one night stands.

1. Stop talking to her. It's done, there's no reason to talk to her. Period. It's just going to prolong the problem.
2. Stop trying to fight the pain.Accept it. It is going to hurt and suck for a while. It will get better, even if it takes a long ass time.

That's it. It sucks. It hurts. It does get better. This is your third relationship. You will meet someone that makes you feel good again.

The girl you had is dead.plain and simple.its a hard pill to swallow but fuck man.you have that love in your memory forever now and it doesn't have to be a source of loneliness it's a bar.a bar for the next person in your life to pass, the love you felt from her is special and while u feel she was the one if she's not with you anymore she obviously isnt.work on yourself and work hard.its all I've been doing and it'll attract attention I promise you.and it'll feel just a little bit better when you've got actual people behind you who know what you feel.all anybody wants is somebody who can empathize and understand.

I wish I had some advice for you. I'm going through a similar situation. I was in the "getting to know you" stage with a woman who is quite attractive and seemed to be really into me at first. We ended up having sex (my first time) and I caught feels, and in a haze of self-delusion I thought we were going to date. She strung me along for a month but looking back there were so many signs it wasn't going to work out, including the fact that she never really initiated anything physical or seemed attracted to me at all afterward despite saying she enjoyed the sex and she liked me (even said she loved me a couple of times).

Our "break up" was very bitter and full of drama and now she's dating someone else, has moved to the city and by all counts is living a great life. Not only that but she's also close to my family so she comes to all kinds of events and every time I see her it's a setback in my healing process. My self-esteem and confidence is shattered and I'm spiraling into a very deep depression and at times have contemplated suicide. Everyone I can confide in has the attitude of "You should be over it by now" so I can't even talk to anyone about it so I'm just kinda left in this prison of isolation and sad feelings. I don't even hang out with family anymore because I have a dark cloud over me, and due to the drama no one really misses me when I'm not around. I think about her when I go to sleep, I think about her when I wake up, and all day I have little energy or motivation to do anything but sit and stare into space I don't enjoy video games, TV, playing with my dog, programming or anything I used to do. I just feel as if my spirit is broken and I don't know what can fix it. I pray and go to church and I'm still sad it feels as if my only escape from this misery is death.

drop her, you'll be in a better state of mind and more likely to make friends. I went through something similar a year ago and I thought if I dropped her I'd be totally alone, but once she was gone I started making more friends than I had when she was around.

This is exactly what happens when you try to be friends with someone you have feelings for. You cant be friends with her dude. Block her on social media. Block her number and delete her contact. Stop hanging out with mutual friends. Never talk to her again.

my ex broke all contact with me the second she left, and honestly it was the best thing she could've done. You need to cut all contact. I swear I see these threads all the time with guys being dragged along like this by their exes. Drop it.
It gets better. It really does. You're ruminating on this, imagine what you could do if you put that mental effort into any other subject? Ignore her, do something else with your life.
