>4 months
That's... a lot of time. Have you been with her for longer than that?
You could play games to try to confront whatever trauma you might struggle with right now, but that requires you to have a sense of why you can't move on.
Do you have a sense of loneliness? Games that foster individualism or dating sims in general (including the Sims series) could help.
Do you have some sort of guilt, as in you were the sole reason of the breakup?
You need a cup of tea and a few drinks of your choice of alcohol. Let your mind wander instead of being struck in a never-ending loop of self-blame.
>inb4 alcohol is not the answer
It isn't. It's one possible way to find the answer.
Imagine painkillers. Do painkillers solve the problem? No, it takes your mind off the pain while the body heals the issue.
Similarly, you need to let the mental pain be dismissed temporarily or you won't be able to concentrate. The difference is that once the negative thoughts dissipate for a while, you need to put in the effort to understand why you have those thoughts, whereas with painkillers, the body does the work for you while healing.

If you really want games to have an effect, play something with a story that may resonate with you and help you move on by realizing things you didn't before. What you "need" is a much more difficult answer.
However, I wouldn't want to close this long winded post without any recommendations so I guess you should try out Persona 4 Golden.
It's a nice, simple story with lots of friendship and many romantic interests you can pursue.
It could give you a sense of belonging and help you cope with your loneliness until you figure out your answer.

>>738123632
we were together for about a year, met at a language class
the short of it is i knew i loved her after a couple months and told her so, she said she didn't know and wasn't sure what that meant for her
i was okay with that and we kept dating, then she started making the big moves you do with someone you love - meet family, friends, travel together, go to weddings together and talk about moving in together so i just figured she loved me but was scared to say it or just not very expressive about it

around november last year we sat down and i revisited the love thing, she said she still didn't know, from then on the relationship started going to shit, i got full of anxiety and started pulling back more and more, she broke up with me a few days after new years saying she never loved me and had lost all attraction to me

felt terrible for the first month but slowly got better, hung out with friends, focused on work and hobbies, got drunk a few times and felt like everything was gonna be okay, although i was still thinking about her at least once every day

mid march i started going to the class again and she started showing up last week and it was awkward as hell and i realized i'm not over her and it feels like i'm backsliding back into being a crying mess, probably gonna quit the class honestly

i'll give p4g a try anon, thanks

It's good to read that you still have a lot of safety nets in terms of friends. Not many people have that from what I experience.

The language class will be awkward for a long time I'm sure, but unless you have a different class to go to, I'd ask myself if giving up learning a language is worth whatever pain I might feel right now.
I think P4G is a good option in your situation, might make you value friendships even better but you seem to have a decent head on your neck based on your reply so it might just be nothing more than a "feel good" time and maybe that's all you need for a bit.

Hang in there anon, you'll pull through.

Whatever you do, do NOT just bee yourself
>>
>>738125118
There are two questions you should answer yourself.
Which part do you want to avoid and why?
Avoiding sadness is not feasible unless you hole yourself up until you die. Which is a way of life but you should evaluate whether you'd be genuinely okay with not having a partner.
Like a job interview, you generally need to fail a few before you find a good one.
There are people who goes to every job interview and gets accepted everywhere, but they are the exception and shouldn't be used as a standard. You have to accept that going into relationships will end up in breakups as you can only find the girl you want by trying.
If you mean avoiding a debilitating heartbreak, understanding and accepting the reality of modern day dating is enough, provided that you actually accept it for what it is.
>but how?
Fuck if I know, but it worked for me so far.
Let yourself be swept away but allow yourself time to objectively orient yourself to see if this is a direction that you wish to go towards.

Wrong question. The only way to not make mistakes in life is to not do anything. So the only way to avoid being this guy is to basically avoid life, which is a catastrophic way to live. Just look around you. Ask yourself what kind of a person would tell you to avoid all of this. Do they seem happy to you? Does it really sound like helpful advice? Do you think this will honestly work out for the best?

Be this guy. He took a shot at happiness and this time it didn't work out. You can give up on life and be miserable for the rest of it, or you can try again. You may fail again. You may not. There are no sure things and the only thing you can really do is try again. Yeah dating sucks, it always has, but there's no other way. That's life.

Play picrel. Don't give up.

>>738125118
By not stressing out about being that person. Just be interested and care about yourself. Once you start worrying, you lose attraction to them and they aren't worth worrying about.

I'll share my situation.

>coworker is obviously into me even though she is married
>randomly meet outside of work and hang out. Proceed to hang out more and more.
>end up kissing and husband finds out. Threatens to sue. But then says he doesnt want his wife to lose a good friend and will let us hang out if I promise not to do anything physical anymore.
>never say I wont and realize how weak he is. We keep hanging out and start fucking.
>guy finds out and constantly kicks her out and threaten to divorce her but inevitably lets her back in the house and backs down again and again
>husband gives ultimatum to choose him or me but the wife says she cant stop seeing me because the sex is way too good. He backs down.
>at one point the condom broke while we were doing it at around the same time she was ovulating.
>tells her husband but he continues to give her money
>this has been going on for a year. We continue to meet and fuck since her marriage is sexless now
>she still says she loves her husband and doesn't want to do certain things to hurt him


The point is, women are absolutely crazy and will betray you in an instant when given the opportunity and know they can get away with it. They will also always frame it as your fault as to why they acted a certain way. When you understand how shit they are and treat them as such, suddenly you become irresistible to them.
>>
>>738126506
I regularly see and talk to 30+ year olds who are still in the dating game, and they are all miserable. I think at some point you really would be happier giving up. If every relationship you're in ends because the woman gets bored and loses her feelings, and you also don't have many options in the first place and even finding someone is a struggle, then dating as a whole isn't worth it, and you would be significantly less miserable if you just stay alone.

I'm glad you found a happy life and I'm jealous of you. Being in a happy marriage is definitely on top for best case outcome. But I think right below it is being single and having completely given up. It is still better than constantly chasing something that will never happen for you, or even ending up in a shit marriage.

If this is true, why would you even date? The woman you ended up with seems to me like a subhuman who I wouldn't want to be around. Is the pussy really that worth it? I kind of even feel that you're the pathetic one in this situation. Instead of looking for a better girl to spend the rest of your life with, you are wasting time on meaningless sex with some whore.

Look within you, like deep within, past where we keep our egos and our pride, and ask yourself if there is a hole inside you that is shaped like someone else. If there is, great - if you can get an idea of what that hole looks like, you can find someone that'll fit into it. If there isn't - why go looking for someone to fit into a hole that isn't there? Because you think you're supposed to?

Whenever I feel down in the dumps, I like to grab a bag of metaphorical popcorn and laugh at midwits. Not the 'there but for the grace of God go I' kind of stuff, because that's a good way of tempting karma to come crashing down, but 'you stupid motherfucker. you stupid, stupid motherfucker' kind of stuff. For example.
>>
>>738126952
Ultimately I think you just have to find someone *you* like, not just a woman who's gonna give you attention in the moment. If you find someone with similar interests she won't get bored because her day-to-day will involve you as well. Easier said than done of course, but a big issue a lot of guys face is that they're so fed up with loneliness that they immediately jump into whatever relationship first comes their way
>>
For me I got dumped a couple of years ago. I was okay with it because it was an internet relationship anyway, it's not like we were a real couple, and I was okay with just being friends, which we were for a while but recently I got left on read twice and its been over a month since we last spoke.

You're so pathetic. Have some self respect and block her ass and find someone else. Wtf

people talking about it just being 3DPD women being crazy feels a bit funny since the shit I’ve went through was with another faggot like me and he basically acted similarly to what some of y’all are saying
basic tl;dr being that I was dating him in a online friend group, ended up going from dating to being friends since he didn’t like me that way, then went full on no contact after I acted like a irrational retard. been about 4 months since, feel slightly mixed on not being given a chance for a compromise, and having to ghost the rest of my friends over it, but I’ve been fine lately
