How old are you? I dated a girl for 5 1/2 year and havent had one since. It was hard as hell too. We left off on good terms and spoke for about a year afterwards. I had to end that because it was actually harder. Its really sucky, but its life. Take advantage of the time you will have to you self now.I like it this way. I have had my flings in between then and now. I just love having all "my" time and all " MY" money. and no one to answer to.
You will do be fine. Get out with your friends, go hang out at the local shop. Do things to take your mind off it with other people.
