I thought this then fell in love with the girl living opposite me in my flat. Didn't hurt anymore. Best healer for that sort of thing is a replacement to show you it's not all bad, and honestly, it isn't.
Wrong! The best healer in these situations is time, plain and simple. Women come and go, at the end of the day you only have yourself. If you can't deal with being happy whilst single, you're never going to be as happy as you
could be when you find someone. You'll probably find that any relationship founded on such a discourse is only ever doomed for failure. Women want strong people to look after them, not needy boys and by just using women to 'fill the hole', you're being just that -- needy. Do you really appreciate your girlfriend(s) who who/they are as a person or is it more selfish? Do you 'appreciate' them because they make you feel better?
You do realise that finding another person to fill the hole that you have after losing someone is called a 'rebound' right? Rebounds rarely work because of the exact reasons I'm pointing out. Not only that, it's not fair on the other person and you'll only ever end up feeling worse.
If you're only using women to feel better about yourself, or to 'fill the hole', when you lose your comfort blanket you're going to feel very vunerable, whereas if you are able to stand on your own two feet before entering into such a relationship, you'll be able to move on more easily. I'm not saying it wont hurt, because it does, but you also realise that the other person does not define who you are.
All the advice in here [in this thread] is subjective. I'm only advising which I've found works best for me. By saying 'forget about the game' I'm not saying don't 'play' it, I'm merely pointing out that by not giving a **** you're going to be a happier person, you will also be seen as more confident and as such wont reak of desperation.
