2 months ago me and my very first boyfriend broke up. We dated for almost 2 years and always got along so well. It felt really sudden to me and was soul crushing, but I eventually started to feel better. I got on dating apps again and started talking to this guy, we went on a date, it was fine, but then I had the most vivid dream about my ex about him having a new girlfriend and me trying to win him back (it slowly worked in the dream lol) but ever since then I have just been so sad and missing him so much. It sucks because I was living my life normal, doing more extracurriculars for my career (in college) and now I feel like I’m back to square one. We were truly best friends and have had no contact since but his friends still interact and are friendly on social media. I think about him all the time and although I am “moving on” with my life, it’s so hard not to think that we will find our way back to each other. I’m just a mess of emotions and I just want to be happy in life!!! Any tips on navigating dating and not comparing? When you felt fine and now suddenly can’t stop thinking about them and crying and dreaming about them? First breakup and just trying to navigate it.
