I too am in the same position, I have split up with my BF of 6 years over something and nothing and then left it too long to apologise, he found someone else and now doesnt want me back. I cry and cry and the only thing that eases the pain is talking to my good friends, let her talk it through and make double the effort you normally do to see her,
Dont try and get her to date anyone else it will just highlight what she has lost as no-one else will measure up. You sound like a great friend just make sure she knows you are always there for her. Helen

Dear female reader,
I know how your friend feels as I am in the same situation. The best thing you can do for her is be there for her as best as you can. When you love someone and then have to do something thatyou don't want to do, it is extremely hard. At the moment my bf has moved on and it is hard to come to terms with. Try as best as possible to be her friend, don't judge her feelings, hang out ...go to the movies...preferably comedies or horrors...nothing romantic. She is having a rough time now and only time can heal the wounds that she is feeling. Do not by any means try to fix her up with any guys. That won't help and it will just hurt her more.
I hope you too stay friends....ana
