8 months since me and my ex broke up and I still feel the same?
I dated my ex girlfriend for close to 5 years, we broke up last August and last Christmas Eve would of been 5 years. She broke up with me because I don't have a job, haven't been looking for one and brought out how frustrated I was being broke on her all the time. During all this she worked very hard every day while I just slept. Regardless then I didn't realize it but now I know how horrible and lazy I was and how she still was the same girl I fell in love with, so I don't blame her for what she did. Since then I've improved myself a lot, lost a lot of weight, got a job etc and she apparently found somebody else, yet still works 5 minutes from me. This is bad because I see her driving or drive past her often because she works on a main road. But even still I miss her and care about her just as much as I did when we broke up 8 months ago. I try to move on but I feel like every girl who starts to like me I can't get feelings for, or I just find that they aren't what my ex was. I'm told I shouldn't compare and I know I shouldn't but it's like settling for less almost because my ex was pretty much just like me. Same sense of humor, same view on a lot of things, what I wasn't she was and vice versa. She didn't like to party as I don't but every girl I meet that's all they want, or they've slept with 20 guys or something else I can't stand. I almost wanna make a move on my ex and see where it gets me, just see how she is or something because I feel stupid sitting here doing nothing and I can't be any worse..right? Some advice would be really appreciated.
