That's the part that sucks so much. We were really good friends before we started dating and have a bunch of mutual friends. She said the typical i still wanna be friends bit and i totally agree. But i know as soon as she starts dating again it's going to be really hard for me.

I've shared this theory many times and I'll share it again: when people break up and say they want to be "friends" what they really mean is, "I'm not ready to completely let go." You said it yourself - you know it's going to be difficult hearing about her dating again. If you are truly friends, hearing that kind of thing shouldn't be difficult. In fact, you should be happy for her. Give yourself some time to heal, but limit contact, as difficult as that will be. Perhaps down the road you can be friends or friendly, but also keep in mind how that might prevent you from moving on. Break ups blow no matter what, so like others suggested, do things to take care of yourself, have a bit of fun and any time you're contemplating trying to make it work, remind yourself of why it won't.

1. Go to your local bookstore or news agent.
2. Purchase a copy of The Economist.
3. Find a bar at a nice restaurant or fancy hotel.
4. Crack open magazine and commence to reading.
5. Once a random chick comes up and talks to you; close.

If you can't do that, chances are you were hopeless from the get-go.

Oh my Gah! I am going to try that.

penthouse letters?

Naw, it was a reference to an earlier offtopic thread where a guy told a story (which we found out later was lifted from another blog) about after breaking up with his long term girl he went on a trip to London by himself.

Here's another piece of advice...Go to Amsterdam and order everything on 'the menu'.
