During last summer, I rekindled with an old flame for a brief, secretive and enjoyable fling. I don’t know why he automatically assumed it would end badly. It’s been eight months now, he’s moved on with a new person but I can’t stop thinking about him. I’m not sure I know how to get over him without meeting someone new. With every day that goes by that I don’t meet a possible partner, my anxiety and frustration about the situation grows.
