I failed badly at getting over my last (and only) girlfriend, and lately I've been wondering why. She was a close friend for about a year or two, then we started flirting more and more, and then for a very brief time (~2 weeks) we started having sex, going on dates, and hanging out with each other all the time. To cut a long story short, I assumed we were exclusive but she was just killing time until she found someone she wanted to be serious with, and when she inevitably broke up with me it wasn't too friendly. I was angry with her because it felt like she'd been leading me on and encouraging me to get close to her. She was genuinely apologetic and wanted to stay friends, but I found that too difficult so after a while I said that I was glad I'd met her and wasn't angry with her now, but I'd prefer it if she didn't contact me any more.
3 years has passed, and I still haven't really got over her - but I don't want her back. It's pretty obvious we were never right for each other in the first place. There's nothing particularly special about her that I'm still hanging on to. But I still get upset if I come across a picture of her with her now boyfriend, or if I even see any mention of her. I still think about her a lot, and wish I had someone that close in my life again. I've not met any girl since that I felt any sort of connection to, so I've not done anything with anyone since. I don't know if that's just because I'm very picky, or because I'm still hung up on her. I think part of me is just angry with her for ruining my experience of 'first love' and leaving me so bitter, and it won't give up until I make her regret her decision no matter what.
I don't know what I'm asking for really - I guess just some perspectives and/or advice from anyone who's been in a similar situation, and how they got out of it.
