Extremely complicated

This one is very complicated, or maybe it's just too simple.

Earlier this year I had a relationship with a woman (Let's call her K). K is 28, I am 20. She's in the military, and in april she had to be transferred to a school out of state until later this year. We agreed that we should stay together, and wait for each other.

I met another woman (we'll call her S). She's 30. We get along very well.

One night I got a call from K saying that she decided that she won't continue dating me after she returns. I am crushed.

S wants to have a relationship. I kind of do too, but I'm still hung up over K so much that it's difficult. But it's been over a month since K dumped me, and it shouldn't hurt this much still, should it? Also, the age difference kind of gets to me...I'd rather date someone my own age.

I really need help. PLEASE.

There's some saying goes like "one in the hand is better than two in the bush" It's really your call, but if S isn't right for you...and that is a pretty big age gap...perhaps ride it out 'til you or her can find better people for each other? Of course, assuming it doesn't happen simultaneously, one's gonna get hurt.

eh, neither of them would last very long anyway.

you're much too young for them.

i am 30 and i consider people who are 20 to be kids.
