Thanks again for your support and perspectives, guys. Believe me or not, it's actually helped in the decision making among with tons of support from friends and heavy internal thinking and processing of my emotions.
Well, it's been a week since the breakup. A tough fucking week.
But I've allowed that "other self" of me to take over completely. The sexually lusting, longing-to-be-single, girl crazy persona I've developed over these years but never been able to express. Perhaps this is a way for me to cope - switching off all the other emotions - but I'm not willing to relax internally to find out. Not yet. Whatever, maybe I'm over-analyzing things.
Anyways I've got three dates with three different women this week. And working on two more. Call me a fucking asshole for getting on with my love life so soon but, again, perhaps this is my way of coping with my emotions. Looking forward to these encounters (one of these girls is a 10/10 lol)
