I broke up with my ex a year ago, thinking I could do better and now I can't find a girl as good as her. How do I get over it?

Other girls I meet now are not as affectionate and as funny as she is. I was in a very good phase of my life at that time, still in college, with other girls around me and I thought I could do better than her. Now I'm working and I experience the 'real world', with not as many girls my age around me. She was not without her flaws, but she was a good girlfriend. I regret it now, but I can't get her back cause she's got a boyfriend. Now I'd do anything to have a girlfriend like her and be more grateful for what I have. But I can't find someone as good as her.

Ah, the classic case of not knowing what you've got until it's gone, sprinkled with a touch of "the grass is always greener." It happens to the best of us! Here's the deal: It's natural to idealize past relationships, especially when our current situation makes us nostalgic for "the good old days." But remember, she wasn't perfect—nobody is. It's crucial to acknowledge both the good and the not-so-good.

Now, for the moving forward part: Instead of hunting for someone "as good as her," focus on being the best version of yourself. Lovebomb yourself, shall we say? Dive into hobbies, expand your social circle, and maybe even fine-tune what you're truly looking for in a partner. By enriching your own life, you'll not only become more attractive to potential love interests, but you'll also have a clearer vision of who can truly complement your life.

And remember, everyone brings something unique to the table. So, while you might not find someone *exactly* like her, you might just find someone who’s perfect for you in ways you hadn't imagined. Keep your heart open, and let the love in. You've got this! 🚀💖

Stop putting your ex on a pedestal. There's thousands of women in the world and you're telling me no one is as good or better than her? You're comparing other women to her and expecting other women to be her and act like her and that's just wrong. You could be neglecting a really good chance/opportunity because of the way you're thinking.

Those other women I'm into are not into me. Those who are into me are not as good as my ex

Because you keep comparing them to your ex. Stop mentioning her. Stop thinking about her. She's not with you anymore.
