How does one get over a romantic heartbreak?

Very recently got dumped (after about 3 months together, I thought things were going well), very painful (in my chest) and sad. Last time my heart was broken was 2012 but it wasn't nearly this bad, the other 2 relationships over the intervening years didn't end in heartbreak. My sleep is all messed up, I do not want to work, food is off little interest beyond having to force myself because my stomach is complaining.

So to the people with more experience in these things, how does one deal with it?
 
Focus on improving yourself. Study further, eat healthier, gym, etc. Constructive distractions are going to be key to your ability to move forward. The best way to get over your ex is to move on to the next. Good luck

I remember many years ago, I was interested in a girl, and after kind-of dating for a little while she told me off as she was not ready.

I dated before, but for some reason that one hit hard, I remember feeling absolutely k@k for quite a few weeks, similar to what you are explaining.

Friends even took me out, think we went to Carfax, but even the noise and vibe of a club could not get my head clear, it was quite unbelievable how deep the "sadness" was.

Long story short, time heals, it got better every day, keep yourself busy and mind occupied.

PS: We are now married with 3 kids :)
 
3 months and heartbroken seriously?

Get over it. Book a trip to Bali or Phuket. Meet a hot asian girl and have wild meaningless fun.

The girl back home would be long forgotten.

China would be a good destination too, but more the countryside.

Otherwise here is the thing. Decide which country you would like to emigrate to, and look for a girl from there. Japan, South Korea, Germany and Australia are always good options. America too. Instagram is good for that.

Alternatively there is rural America, but alas some have guns.

This may cheer you up.

Just get a friend with benefits. Less complications.

Oh and whatever you do, never get married in the future.

So true. Why? Prenups are meaningless in SA. Judges have chucked out the Out of Community clause as unconstitutional. You also have to share your pension with interest at 15% per year (Most return you get is barely 8%). Then you may be married for 5 years or even less and she can claim spousal maintenance for the rest of her life. That can easily be upto 80% of your salary.

So quite right. Dont do it.
