Only way to get over that is to get some real action
[QUOTE=Jhandyspecial;7263521]You've already did the best thing you could by deleting those phone numbers. I am not sure if anyone has said this, but I am very proud of you. I really am. Feeling lonely is just a sign that you are doing the right thing. Remember, there must be darkness before the light can shine. Life goes on and if you have the time to drive around to kill time, you should look into facebook groups that meet any type of interest you have. Chances are you will find 1 or 2 friends out of the countless groups and your life will change. Anytime you are feeling lonely, just remember you are not alone and there are many of us on the same path as you. Even those people who live good lives with lots of friends and family will be lonely after they outlive everyone. I found that volunteering to help those who are in need is a big help to changing my mindset. It hasn't completely fixed me, but I hope it will one day and I am optimistic that it can help you too. Just remember to never give up, you got this. I am rooting for you.[/QUOTE]If you want to drop this all together, you have to be able to actually meet girls in the wild that are interested in dating you. Unless you are already in a relationship. You should actively be working on yourself and meeting new people. It helps keep you social and alive. Hibernating in your household and not talking to anyone causes depression. You should be trying to meet girls naturally in settings that are not sex provocative. Join a club, volunteer, etc. You'll find people naturally that way. If you can link up with a girl the normal way and actually mesh with her, you'll find this hobby not as appealing. Since the reciprocation of affection will be real. And you won't need to look elsewhere to fill that empty void in yourself. I'm sure you are only doing this, because you have not worked on proper social skills when you were younger to engage with girls and be able to date them. So to compensate you are doing this hobby, that or you are in a sexless relationship, or in need of a release. If you have access to date girls the normal way I would do that instead. But at the end of the day, guys have to let off steam, and a lot of girls now a days play a lot of games, and we strike out from time to time. So this is a quick fix. It doesn't solve all our problems but helps with a release of stress in our day to day lives. And not to mention guys enjoy variety, we like seeing many girls, that's why we enjoy this hobby to begin with. But if you feel guilty about it, then I would just focus on improving yourself and putting yourself out there to meet people not form this hobby. Good luck with your efforts.
