Q: : So I was dating this guy, he's older than me by about 15 years, I'm old enough to know that age does matter, and he didn't care that I was younger, it just wasn't an issue, we made each other happy, really happy. Then he went away 2 weekends in a row, I was sick the first and could have really used some comfort, the second weekend I went to a party, where I kissed a guy I've had a thing for basically since I met him. I didn't tell the guy I was dating, then a friend of mine dropped it into conversation with him about a month later. Then another month later, out of the blue, or so it seemed to me, he broke up with me. Sighing my transgression as a reminder that I am young and should be "dating around", also he didn't "feel like" being in a relationship. We broke up in february, and our last encounter was 2 months ago. And yet I can not get over him! I'm finding that I'm numb in places I've never been numb before and people tell me that I need to meet some one new to get over him, but first there's the problem of how to follow him up, he's very attractive and being older doesn't carry the drama and immaturity of guys my own age that I c an't stand. I just don't know what to do.

A: I know it’s super hard to get over him but if you were so super in love, you wouldn’t have kissed another guy. It wouldn’t have even been a thought. You should go on other dates. Go on dating sites and find other guys to go out with just so you can move on. You’ll compare everyone to him. No one will match up. You’ll hate some of them. But then, one will click. And you’ll think about him and this guy will suddenly start to fade. I agree with your friends on this one. You’re super hurt and lonely but you need to pick yourself up and get back out there. You deserve the best and you won’t find it if you’re in a sad state. Easier said than done, I know, but take a little time and slowly come back!

Love the Madness,
