Having recently split from my fiance a few months ago I've found myself in a dilema, although I still have feelings for her I would never get back with her for reasons I would rather not mention on an open forum. Anyway the split has now left me living alone with plenty of time to think which unfortunately for me I spend thinking about her. What I want to know is should I be looking for love or just trying to enjoy being single for a while longer, although I HATE being single it allows for guilt free fun and no worries when planning lads nights out etc . . . I just don't know what I should do? Any help or advice would be great.

Until your feelings have been sorted with your ex, it would be unfair to look for a relationship.

Maybe take some time out and have some fun

Good luck

Being single can be good for you!

You can be selfish and starfish in bed!

And as for dating etc. whats the rush?

Take your time and when your ready, the world will still be there, promise xx

Although the end of you relationship will understandably present you with its own pain and heartache,,,, Its worth putting into context,,, as it will never be as tough to deal with as a loving relationship which cruely ends thorough the untimely and tragic loss of a partner and soulmate.....

its an awkward one.... because I am a believer that this place as such isn't really the best place to be in terms of a stopgap.. especially if you have just come out of a relationship,

regardless of it being a man or a woman i think your head needs to be in a clear and happy place or you will end up regretting it....

Just be your self, live your life I don’t know any one who has not in some way looked back and thought if only, move on and learn for what has happened. Give it time you’ll be fine.

firstly im sorry your now single.

secondly i recommend joining a gym and working out gently on yourself.

why?

it focuses the mind and gives you a reason to get up in the morning.

go to the gym before work because all the ladies go and you can grab a coffee and meet some nice people.

works for me and im a short arse.

so it will work for you and before you know it you'll be happy again.

go for it buddy!

I agree with Fabio here.

You need to "grieve" the loss of your relationship, and come to terms with being on your own.

From past experience people in your position are awful to meet, the anger and bitterness is still there and a good time is not had by all. Please, don't inflict yourself on anyone until you don't spend all your waking time thinking about your ex: the day WILL come.

Good luck!

Sorry to hear you are single.

A rebound relationship isn't a good idea and can eventually make you feel a lot worst, just enjoy what you have for now and take your time and love will find you!

Amen sister, I ended up here after losing my partner in a motorbike accident... now after over 7 years of being on my own and over 4 years of those years on here I feel I'm almost ready for a relationship. OP don't rush things...you need to find yourself first before a partner. xxx

You only have to remember one thing when it comes to break ups: Exes are exes for a reason. If you were meant to be with one specific person you'd still be with her and the fact you aren't should tell you all you need to know.

If you rush things because you don't like being single, or you've seen her with another guy etc, all you'll be doing is making yourself feel like shit, and the new girl won't love you for it either.

Have some fun, go places you've always wanted to go, build some memories that don't include your ex. Eventually you'll find yourself in a place a million miles from where you used to be and a damned sight happier to boot.

And that's when love will come knocking on your door once more.

Trust me. I've been there, and now I'm here, with a new wife and a 21 month old son - and I've never been happier.

I would say that it's best to let things take a natural course, you are the only one who knows for sure whether you are ready to move on without the baggage. And to be honest, there's nothing more off-putting, when out on a date, than the person you are with who keeps banging on about their ex this and their ex that.

The most important thing to remember is that no-one is in charge of your own happiness except you.

Take your time and do not rush into another relationship.

If you have not been on your own for a significant period of time before, may be it is a good idea to try it and see if you like it.

Enjoy your new found freedom, learn to know what you like and dislike for yourself as a single.

You may find you like it.

As someone has already mentioned, love will find you when you are not looking for it.

Good luck!

I remember being in a similar situation and thinking...

I thought love was more or less a giving thing.

It seemed the more I gave the less I got.

Ah love was out to get me.

That's the way it seemed

Disappointment haunted all my dreams.

Profound or what?

Hi, I know where you are coming from I also hated being single after splitting up with exes. But they are exes fr good reasons like others have said here. But I honestly don't think that a swingers website is the right place for you right now. It sounds to me like your head and heart are all over the place, which is perfectly understandable so soon after a split, but while no strings sex sounds perfect it's very hard to do while you still feeling like that, especially if you thnk you might be looking for another longer term relationship.

Anyway, I wish you all the best for your future!

dont worry shaz, we have been together 8 months and only been to 2 parties inc the one we met at ...we are both highley sexed and talked about it at length . but we know its what we want in our relationsship , we are both very sociable too so that side of it is very important to us . if i didnt love him i wouldnt do it. and like you i dont think either of us could go back to a normal relationship, so we are having our cake and eating it....but we are not 24/7 swingers but its a nice side line lol xx
