There's something funny about being single after having been with a girl for 5 months. It seemed like during the time I was with Amber, temptation was everywhere. There were girls right and left flirting with me, and I had to be a very responsible boyfriend to re-tune my brain to turn these girls away because I was unavailable. So, naturally, now that I am single I can't find a girl even when I go LOOKING for them. Well, that's not completely true ... but I can't find the one I'm looking for anyway.

I have done a superb job of not contacting Amber since the breakup. No calls, no emails, no nothing. I got a box and put all of her stuff that was at my place in it, but I haven't developed a delivery plan yet. My best idea is to drop it on her doorstep and call her as I'm leaving to tell her that it's there (she lives in "common door" apartments, so it's not like I can leave it on "her" doorstep without 30 other people seeing it as they come and go). I know that anything I want to say to her would just be mean and wouldn't serve any purpose, so it just seems better to not talk to her at all. I realize that my feelings of resentment and anger towards her will (mostly) pass in time, and I just need something to do in the meantime to make that time go faster.

To that end, I'm contacting all of my "long lost" friends that will become the center of my social circle when my current "best friends" move away in a month. Plus I'm going to the dog park whenever it's nice in hopes of running into temptation.
