well....what I really was referring to was the kind:

Mirror, mirror on the wall, who's the fairest of them all?

Ah so as in the prettiest?

Not really exactly....but women ARE prettier to ME than men!!! I think it more refers to being the gentler of the sexes.

Ah but that is not always such a good thing to be gentle. It is hard to be taken seriously or get things you need because you are too concerned with others most of the time to worry about yourself.

Sorry you were hurt. My advice would be to just move along. He needs to and you need to. Time helps a lot.

Have a smoke and start dating chicks.

Sorry baby, I'm 56 and it just happened to me. It's really difficult. Give it time: minute to minute; hour to hour; day to day; hopefully, if it really was love and you really have depth, month to month.

Time. Choose wisely what you read, who you associate with, music you listen to, etc. Feed yourself healthily with everything.

Grace & Peace to you.

What part are you comparing to the new person, the part where he lied to you and said he cared and just couldn't handle a relationship with anyone right now. I just got rid of my boyfriend for the same type of reasons. I got tired of him doing the on-again off-again thing. Sounds like you need to remember that men like that will lie to make you think they really care, and to make themselves look like they are better than they are. He's a jerk, compare that part to the new guys you meet, and if they treat you better than he did, then they are coming out on top, not the bottom.

Me,

I Just Said Hi, Mingled, Married & Moved

Usually the "I really care about you, but I'm not ready for a relationship right now" speech is really saying: "you were my rebound, but now my ex wants to get back together with me. I'm gonna get with her, but give you a lame excuse in case things don't work out with her." I got that speech twice just when I thought things were going great, then later found out that both of them had gone back to their exes. I know how badly it hurts, but moving on is the best solution. Don't call him, don't text him, don't email him. If you do, then he will know that you are at his beck and call. I think it will drive him crazy that you aren't desperately trying to get him back.

Don't even surround yourself w/ that guy.
Exes sometimes make the best friends forever..but in this case..well absolutly not, since your feelings are not mutual..you still care about him too much..and obviously he has moved on..
He is a young guy, and he needs the action in the bedroom..and maybe is just not ready for a relationship..he will prolly bounce from girl to girl for a while, but it will only get worse before it gets better for you if you stay around this for too long.
Trust me he feels just as uncomfortable as you do in this situation..so just stay away..
There is no exact replica of anyone..and it is natural that we are trying to find someone that resembles our old "flame". (Especially if we still have feelings)
I would personally just not date for a while, focus your energy on other things..a new hobby or something...I think a new relationship at this point would not work, cuz the new guy would have to listen about your ex all the time..it would be just a rebound guy..and he would leave you too.
Just chill for a while.
That is just speaking from experience..
