I posted a couple weeks back about an issue I had with my gf of 5 years not getting along with my family. Well, I told her to pack her junk and get out. I hate to admit but before she did I swayed a bit and asked her to stay, by that time she was ready to move on. That was a bit of a chump move on my part, I gotta admit. As of last week, her stuff is all gone and we are no longer talking, although we separated on friendly terms more or less.
So now that I'm single again, after 5 years in a relationship - I'm having a hard time remembering how to be single. I was doing really really well in the dating department 5 years ago, but now I'm lacking any motivation or energy to even think about it. Is MGTOW the only option I have left? But then I would be depriving women of this world of my presence. My little sisters smoking hot friend has a birthday today and they are both inviting me over and over, but I don't feel like going at all nor do I feel like talking to another woman at this time. How do I make this go away. I need to get on with my life. Any tips on how to speed up this process?
Oh, good grief! Go to the b-day they're inviting you to. See what happens. Aside from that, just take as much time as you need to to recover from the breakup and get back in gear. Everyone needs a break from time to time. There's nothing wrong with that. It's not like you're going to wake up tomorrow as Rip Van Winkle, your entire life having passed you by. Just be patient with yourself. You're a little burned out. It's normal. Chill. You're over-dramatizing.

Just go out.
It's really that easy. Drop the self-pity first.
Of course, if you keep mentioning MGTOW, you will have NO problems "remembering" how to be single because you will have no other choice.

Breakups suck, even when they're the right thing to do. It's okay to wallow a bit and be depressed. It would be weird if you wanted to get right back out there after ending a dysfunctional 5 year relationship. There's no harm in hanging out with your sister and her friend, though, and reach out to your own friends for a beer or whatever.
ugh.. I just really don't want to go out. I feel like just slouching on the couch, and its freakin 82 degrees outside today. What if one of the hotties decides to hit on me? grrrrrr You guys are right though and I guess it is a bit of self pity. Its been pretty hard on me, emotionally, even if I think its for the best. This blows

Nobody forgets how to be single. ^That's your real reason^
Youre just going through the motions of a breakup.

Highly unlikely, so you're pretty safe to go and try to have some fun.

I think its highly likely, actually. IM like a chick magnet, now trapped in a single mans body. ITs hard not to share the goodness when hotties come on to you. I know that the way my lil sis is asking persistently, has a reason behind it.
What's to forget? I'm married almost 20 yrs and been with my husband for almost 24. If I were to be single tomorrow, I'm pretty sure I'd remember how to be single.
If you're over your gf and you feel it's time to move on then go out, be social. Go to the bday party with the smoking hotties.

You've just come out of a 5 year relationship naturally that will take its toll hence you lacking the motivation and energy in meeting other birds mate.
Yes by keeping yourself busy and for me being out socially amongst friends and " smoking hot " women certainly help towards taking my mind off things which only helps to move on
So go out tonight have a few too many drinks, have a laugh or two with that lady as it beats the hell out of sitting around getting all introspective on thing like ^^^^

Really? You think the dating scene hasn't changed in 20 years? I get that some people go through much tougher break ups. I am over my GF but its so early on that m still pretty emotional about it. Ive even cried a few times and that never happens. Thanks for your advice on having me go do the bday thing. Maybe I should do that - you guys are beginning to convince me
