(Tracy) and I started dating in college, for 4 years. We were just perfect together, and I loved her so much. Our relationship was excellent, until suddenly it wasn't. She was depressed due to graduating and not having a job and staying at home. This coupled with some other issues like a 3 year gap between us, we broke up. I don't think I processed the breakup and ended up meeting someone on Tinder.
This girl, I fell really hard for. We had similar interests, she was funny, smart and we had excellent chemistry. I had no idea what rebounding was at the time and I thought things were going so well with her, that I was forgetting about my ex. Time went by and about 5-6 months in I realized I'm not falling in love with this girl, and she just wasn't matching up to my ex. We broke up, and she was heartbroken.
My ex and I got back together, and for a while things were great before earlier problems reared their head again. We are back to square one where she wants space again. I kept hoping things would get better, but we ended up breaking up again.
Now I'm alone, back to square one, back on Tinder wondering what to do. I've had a couple of matches but I don't feel interested in anyone, and I'm debating whether I should have given my "rebound" girl a bit more time. The decisions felt right at that point but now that I'm actively working towards getting over Tracy, I think I'm ready to date again.
What do i do?
