I can’t live with absolutely no contact from him, but at the same time, these little texts don’t make things any better.

He texts me sometimes on socials, and pretty often over the last few weeks, but it hasn’t made the situation any better. I’m not brave enough to cut him off because he was the only person I’ve ever felt deeply compatible, even a connection on a soul level. I miss him so much, even though I try my best not to show it, but inside, I feel completely empty.

I went on my first date after being dumped, but it seems like it didn’t go anywhere. The new guy hasn’t initiated any texts since, even though the date actually went pretty well. I didn’t mention my breakup or anything personal, but now I’m overthinking—did he somehow sense it? I feel like I’m destined to fail at this forever :(
