To get back to life you have to make life happen. You said you "can't seem to date" what does that mean? Does it mean you are not asking any woman out or you are asking women out but they are turning you down? If it's the first one, ask ladies out! If its the second one, maybe you are approaching them wrong. Take a breather and get your confidence back. Hang out with your friends and forget dating for a while, or if you can afford it take a vacation.

Also, be careful that you are not comparing all the women you meet to your ex girlfriend. What she did was cold. But she obviously wasn't the love of your life if that is how she is treating you. Don't compare. Take each woman as they come.

Start a new hobby (do you surf? or ski?) and start regaining your joy. Then, as you meet people, ask them out. Don't mope around waiting for the next perfect girl. If she is perfect, she's not moping around. She's out having a good time.
