writes: I've been having trouble getting back into dating. My previous girlfriend and I (I am a lesbian, if it wasn't clear) had been together for nearly a year and we were really happy together. I was even sure that I loved her. Unfortunately, this August her family had to move across the country for family and job reasons. Neither one of us wanted to end our relationship, but we agreed that it would just be too difficult to keep things going from such a distance.It has been a few months now. There are a lot of girls around school. I've wanted to get back into dating again for a month or so, but whenever I decide to try, I just find that I can't do it. I always start thinking of her again and I just feel sad and a little bad about dating someone else when neither of us wanted to break up in the first place.I want to date again, but it's just too hard, even after 4 months. Is there anything I can try to help me move on?

Its best just to take your time since the break up was sad one and I'm sorry to here that. It sounds like you did love her so it may take up to a year or more to get over this. When the right girl comes around the feeling will past. I think you want to date but deep down you wish to find her again. Hang in there and be patient.
