I think the first thing you should do is commit to yourself that you won't jump right into another relationship.

Give yourself time to re-establish your boundaries and your self confidence. If you jump right into another relationship sometimes it's easy to carry the negative feelings you have from the break up you just went through. Some people also use the new relationship, or person, to cover up a negative self-image which is a bad way to start off.

Remember also that this relationship doesn't define who you are. Finding out that a person isn't the right one to have an exclusive relationship with is almost as important as finding the one who is. Use this "free" time to develop your relationship with God and strengthen your friendships with the people who were there before the last boyfriend and will be there after the next one.

Well, obviously it's always tough to get over someone that you had/have strong feelings for.
But, as many say, and I myself say, everything happens for a reason.
Wether it be to give you a chance with someone who may be better for you than the person you were just dating, or maybe to make the other individual realize what they're missing.
But most of all i would say it builds character when you experience pain, which isnt always a pleasant feeling,
but you know what they say, "What doesnt kill you only makes you stronger"
and that's very true, because once you've experienced something that may not have "tickled your fancy", if you are faced with the same situation you willl better understand how to react to it, even though you might be repelled by the feeling.
it's hard to face, but just keep your head high, and remember everyday is a new day, and when one door closes, two more open.
so take chances, explore the world, make the best of the break up, you only live once.
