Is it normal that i'm still not entirely over my ex?

Is it normal that I'm still not 100% over my ex gf of almost a year? Come monday it's been a year since we've broken up officailly, but over that year we still talked and hung out a fair amount as friends. There was one incident where we fell back into our dating habits, but nothing really came of it.We dated for 9 months, and ever since the break up I haven't really dated anybody since. The thing is, she kind of sends me mixed messages that she still likes me, and I still have lingering feelings for her as well, but it's been so long that I know that we can never offically date at this point, especially because it would be long distance. Also, the thing with this relationship was that it was serindipidous, it just kind of happend, so I'll admit that I'm not the best at actually getting a date, and it proably doesn't help that I'm a little shy at first when it comes to meeting new people.

I guess I kind of fell into a social slump in the past year, and I'm just trying to figure out how to change that.

    I feel the same way. I fell deeply in love with a man almost a year ago, he broke my heart. I still think about him everyday. I hope everything works out for you.

  • thank god you can see the problem, you can admit it, now you can solve it. most people cant even get that far, they stay in a vicious cycle...

    shes probly flirting, who cares though its over, turn your phone off when she calls. Then when she asks why it went to vcmail the whole weekend say, you were at a friends house...

    oh by the way when people say " a friend" instead of the normal " my girls, my homies, or janes or name" it means they are with holding the true identity of the person. ie its not a friend but a lover!!!

    so if you ask her where she was last night and she says " a friends" instead of saying " oh i was at susies house, a chick i work with"

    then u know the whole thing.

    as a woman we are guilty of wanting both, we want the freedom but we want to know that your there. but you cant have that nor give it to someone.

    you already know it wont work, and ur using her communication as a crutch... hopefully she is not getting mixed signals too.

    she probly realizes the same and contradicts her self by correcting her self and say things like "im so glad we are just friends" cause she knows she made a mistake.

    dont persue stuff cause your bored or cant go out and find new stuff!

    fyi its easier to meet chicks if your alone, cause its intimidating when people have a wingman or lil group... dont you agree.

    you will be more approachable if your alone, and it will show you can stand on your own.

    dont forget to look up, and smile, and make eye contact when a new person enters the building.

    even asking questions like, do they have a smoking section out back, or say ur just so quiet because you have to pee, lol where are the restrooms i know you know where they are... female = small bladder, playful teasing.

    but i mean pay attention if shes turning away to show her friends that shes rolling her eyes or. the whole raised eyebrow thing,

    im a girl and the best advice is to treat it like fishing. have a long line at first with bait all down your line. several will bite few will stay and one or tow will meet your requirements.

    its also good to have a list of requirements you seek. and to stick to it, cause believe me tryign to change someones political views, or religion, or even the way they blow through money at absurd paces, will just be a problem.

    my req's:
    emotionally stable no more broken winged guys
    hygiene breath and facial hair
    funny confident, approachable
    knowledgeable somewhat educated
    carry a conversation with out going to negative or too serious
    has a job.
    does not owe huge amounts of child support or alimoney...
    has a car any car...
    oh the first was not on drugs!

    sorry got carried away... goodluck!

    be glad your single its like a new chance to pick out who you want, honestly your in control and try to be the selector not the selectee, that way you can really do this right to where it benifits you for the long run.

    use protection if you skip all the above
