I'm trying very hard to get over a man that I feel I will love forever. Part of me believes that the concept of getting over someone by getting under someone else is the way forward, and the thought of having some fun with someone else really appeals. I don't just mean sex, I mean spending time with someone and enjoying myself. But I also know that anybody else would just be a fill in.

Should I just stay on my own until I'm really over him (which I already know will probably take a long time), also knowing that being on my own will mean I think about him more because I'll have nobody else to occupy my mind? Or should I just enjoy myself if I'm given the chance even though I know it is unlikely to go anywhere because of my feelings for this man?

Nothing wrong with casual dating / sex dates until you feel you're ready to move on and look for something long term (or maybe you'll prefer to stay more carefree for a long time!)

Even just having a casual shag can be an ego booster after a break up, as you realise you're still desirable and you have options.

Should I be upfront with anyone new and just say what I'm after? I don't think I've ever been in this position before! I'd hate anyone else to get hurt along thevway.
