yeah... she is definitely trying to explore other options. in fact, i'd be very surprised if she didn't already have someone in mind.

don't play her game, but don't create one of your own.

your best bet is to be very honest and matter of fact about it. tell her that you still love her but you will, for all intents and purposes, be single from now on. the key part of this is that YOU MUST BE SINGLE within yourself. truly single people do not spend their days pining for an ex, calling to see if they pick up on saturday nights, or surprise them with gifts.

it is in YOUR best interest to move away as readily as she has. more times than not girls (guys too i guess) are hoping that something better/more exciting will come along. that's not to say that whatever guy she dates will be "better" than you, but you'll have a tough time proving that to her if you spend your time whining and arguing while she is getting ready for date.

consider her lost. mourn for a couple days, then get over it.

sidenote: just as she is probably trying to use you as her "comfort" guy while she does what she likes... be sure not to use some other girl to get back at her. you know what it is to have someone use you... don't perpetuate it.
