I am single for 5 months now but still compare people i go on the dates with with my ex. Is it normal to be disappointed in new people because they are not your ex?

    I agree that you might be missing good opportunities, but it won't matter if you're not ready. let your heart heal, then when you're ready, give someone a chance.

    Stop doing that, you might be missing in good opportunities. Your not in your ex mind, why have him in yours.

    Ahh, I've done some terrible things when I was lovelorn. Pushing people away (because they weren't my ex) was one of them. Being overly flirty (because I was lonely) was another.

    I came to realise that jumping straight back into dating was not fair either to myself or the person I was dating. I need time to grieve and get it all out of my system. My last girlfriend and I were together for three years and it took me almost a year to get over it. It was a lonely year, but it was the right thing to do.

    Perhaps you're not yet over your ex and just need a little more time?
