Stay single and out of relationships for a while, shift your preoccupation with "being out there" and onto new things that you always wanted to do or old things that you enjoy. You might find that you like it. That's what I would do, but its probably easier said than done. I don't know what the odds are of ever starting a "quality" relationship if you come off as desperate for another relationship.

I don't mean to sound callous … but ever been to Surinam? Always wanted to check it out. If I had the means and the time, I'd hop on a plane there, like, tomorrow.

If you really were best friends and it wasn't working out as a relationship, then could you not continue to be best friends? It would take a while to adjust, but if it was an agreeable seperation, then there shouldn't be any bad feelings in the relationship.

Well call me a cold hearted old bastard but that old saying "tell me now before I spend 50$ on drink's" comes to mind …better you find out now before it costs you big $$$$

Book a haircut soon as you get home and pour out your heart to the hairstylist … You need a good rebound eh?

Damnit gooch, don't you read anything? I have to get back to the continent before that could even happen. Trust me when I say that I have your best interests at heart. :D

Sucks but it happens. Be happy that it is an amicable situation.

I'd say plan a trip that's just you and have fun. Since this is a bike site…. Jamaican Fat Tire Fest is fast approaching. And I have it on good authority that Jamicans have no problem setting their sister up on dates.

Thanks for all the comments, serios biznes or otherwise. Shit's got a lot better the few days. Small steps, no?

I must say, getting trashed on and then leaving home for a random 3rd world country is a hell one should never rationally want to experience, but it's confirming my hope/view that every week here is actually a months' worth of progress back home.

I will confess however, I'm disappointed in the lack of kittens/cute things with boobs. Oatbag needs more rep.

I'm not a huge believer in the "let's be friends thing".
Ex's are ex's for a reason - amicable break or not if you don't want to be together why work at being together?

Do you and your ex have kids together? If you don't then I think you should not put too much time [HTML_REMOVED] energy into maintaining the friendship - unless you want to fall back into a relationship that will most likely stall out in another 4.5 years or less.

I also don't think you should rush into another relationship. Take some time out for yourself. Every time you get the urge to go on a date go for a bike ride instead. I like Enduramil's suggestion about the Fat Tire fest.
