I've gone through this many times - had very few short relationships. Like everyone else has already said, keep yourself busy. My thing was working out - I got in pretty good shape after my last breakup, though sadly I've lost some of that. I also had one night that I drank most of a bottle of rum in under an hour - that helped too.
On another note, I've tried being friends with past girlfriends, and it worked once. My current girlfriend and I are together because we tried to do the friend thing, though. We took a six-month break from each other, went out as friends a few times, and, before we knew it, we were going away for the weekend and dancing until the sun came up. Doesn't always happen this way, though (we've dated six times).
Anyhow, my advice would be to start a new hobby or start working out. You'll feel better for bettering yourself. Good luck man. You'll get through it soon enough.
