How do you get over this feeling like you'll never find someone like your ex ? I've dated a few others since but have never felt t he same. In fact, it's almost like my heart has turned to ice. I try and feel something and try with others but i feel nothing. Does this mean I am not over my ex? I'm on strict no contact and my memories of them have faded which i'm happy and i can move on but it's not until I date others and I never really feel the same that i think of my ex. It makes me depressed and sometimes I just give up all together and sleep with hot prostitutes instead.

You are not over your ex, yet.
And while you think that you never find anyone like her, you might find someone who is different but not less desirable.
Sleeping with prostitutes isn't going to cure you. You pay for sex, so don't expect anything else.

I just get depressed and think If i sleep with hot prostitutes it will make me forget her but it hasn't really worked.

How do you know when you are over your ex? she was my first girlfriend and only person I ever loved (i don't even like my family)

How long has it been since you broke up?

You are over when you stop thinking about and comparing other women to your ex.

I think the answer is, you don't. When you listen to very old people, they often have a love of their life that they lost and never found anyone comparable again. In best cases, it was their lifelong partner.

Sometimes, though, it was a love they had early in life.

I realize this is a Debbie Downer post, but the truth is, you may never find another lover who makes you feel the passion the one that got away did.

And that's just being human.

But isn't that natural to compare?

I don't understand, I mean if you had a relationship with someone and thought it was a really good experience and liked their characteristics, then wouldn't you want to be with someone similar ?

Dam, I think this will be the situation for me.. I guess I just got to accept it and I guess be happy I got to experience love like that once.
