    Okay so since I stopped talking to my ex 2 months ago, I decided the stop crying and waiting around to move on and make myself get over her.

    So I signed up for like 3 websites.

    One is a place for teens but has a LGBT area.
    the 2nd one is a website for LGBT people
    and the other is a friendship/website for people.


    Honestly, I didn't expect NOTHING out of this. I didn't expect to talk to many girls. I didn't expect nothing when i first signed up for these websites....I was skeptical about everything at first.

    at first, I wouldn't say hi to any girls on there, I would just friend request them. I didn't want to message them hello because i didn't want to come off creepy in any way but my best friend just said to message them hello and see how it goes and It went really well.

    I am staying safe. I'm not giving out my number or anything. In fact, They have to give me their number instead of me giving mine.

    a lot of girls messaged me back and said I was cute and this and that. Obviously, I'm not going to get a relationship out of this. i'm not expecting to but They messaged back, wanting to talk to me. A a certain few harmlessly gave me their number or an app that i can't name.

    The thing, is ....should I be flirting and continue talking to these girls in a attempt to get over my ex? There is 2 girls, I do like talking to and there is one girl i'm kind of actually interested in and she lives in my state. she doesn't say much but if our conversation dies. she says "Hey" the next day.

    I don't really know how else to get over my ex. I mean, this has helped me not think of her...and its helped finally be able to sleep better. It brings up my self confidence even though, I know half of these girls, don't mean what they say.


    I don't think, I "Flirt" ...because half of the time, i'm just generally talking and goofing around but sometimes, i do ...say things intentionally to make the conversation a little more interesting.

    when a girl asks me if i have skype though. I deny it because I have insecurities about my voice on camera and I lose all my self confidence.

    It sounds like you're being smart about it. Maybe it will help you realize you're a bachelorette on the prowl again. :3

    I don't think there's anything wrong with it, as long as you're safe.

    Healthy is subjective. Are you getting emotionally invested? If yes, will it go somewhere (answer=usually, no). If no, have fun.

    It's ambiguous and likely depends on a case-to-case basis. There's nothing wrong with getting out there (so to speak... whether that's online or offline) and meeting others who you're attracted to or intrigued by, and vice versa. If you're consciously doing so to move past an ex, I don't know if that's necessarily a good idea. It may depend, again.

    I think the more people you talk to the more confidence you will regain, it seems that you are being sensible about things and as long as you are not creating pain for yourself then I can't see any problem in carrying on.
    As long as you don't play with other people's feelings then a good chat is good for both parties concerned.
