Here is what Uncle Ben wants you to do:

1. Print your post off. Put it somewhere safe.

2. DO NOT COMMUNICATE WITH THIS GIRL.

3. Go out and get fucked up with your buddies (and if that means drink so much coffee until you start to see into the future, then so be it).

You are in the classical rock and a hard place!! Do you think that those break-up songs you hear on the radio are just made up? Millions upon millions of guys have got fucked over by millions and millions of girls (and vice versa to you gals reading this).

You might be thinking that this has never happened to anyone before, and being in a unique situation might be frightening. I assure you that the road you are on has been walked so many times that the ground is like concrete...

The good news? You are going to meet someone better.
"Ben, How can this be? Weren't you reading when I wrote that this girl is incredible, and perfect, and everything I want in a woman?"
"Yes, my son. I heard you. I want you to know that every woman is different, and although you can't understand it right now, you need to listen: This girl was perfect for you at that stage in your life, and in certain aspects of your life. As you move on, there will be other women who are perfect for you in other stages in your life, and in completely different aspects."
"One woman might expose you to the world of sexual relations. Another woman might show you how to appreciate your surroundings. Another might expose you to the world of art. All of these women will be totally different from each other. All of them will love you in their own way, and you will reciprocate in yours."
"Trying to influence how someone thinks and behaves is very difficult; being in control of your own thoughts and feelings is easier. Not easy, but easier."

When a relationship ends, there is a natural grieving process (believe me on that one...) in which you feel at your absolute worst. Then things get easier. Then you learn how to love yourself. Then you are ready to love someone else. This thing takes time. Don't rush through the stages, or ignore other stages because you think they are too painful. An incomplete grieving process will stay with you, and haunt you, and you will show up to a new relationship with what is called "Emotional Baggage". Do you want to burden someone else with that? Do you want to start a new (and possibly lovely, long-term) relationship with that? Of course not.

Do what makes you happy. Smoke if you smoke, drink if you drink. Hang with the buddies and play videogames until you burn the screen.

I encourage hanging with guy friends, because we need to help each other through this shit. Women help each other with their thoughts and feelings, and I want to state it publicly that men need a support structure similar to that, only with sausage, chili, beer and porno.

When you meet another girl, and you start falling for her, it won't feel the same, nor should it. You have grown, you are in a different point in your life, and this is a totally different girl.

When you do fall for this new girl in the future (and you will, don't worry) I want you to go to the safe place. Pull your post out, blow the dust off of it, and read it. Remember how you are feeling right now, and appreciate how much things have changed.
