I reading through the responses, a lot of the advice (including my own) seems harsh.
I think that's a good thing. There are two relationships in my past that I invested a lot of time and effort in, and when they ended I spent weeks trying to figure out why they didn't work out and thinking that I had wasted years of my life by being with the wrong person.
What I know now is that those relationships taught me a great deal about what I did and did not want and/or need from a relationship. By the time the second big one was over I was determined to be in a relationship only as long as I needed to decide whether it was going where I wanted it to go. I quickly went through four or five "semi-serious" relationships in the last couple of years of college until I met the woman who's now my wife.
Treat these things as lessons learned and move on.
