Going out on the shag never appealed to me, either...
Best thing is to let it all go to pieces for a while* - drink heavily.
Then stop, and carry on with your life, because it will get better and easier - and what it comes down to is that if you were meant to be together, you never would have split!
You may also want to put a breathiliser on your phones for a while. Because you WILL try calling/texting her. :wanker
*Or there's probably a more constructive way like throwing yourself into activities like rock climbing, US Football, knitting, hill-running, fox-hunter stabbing etc.

ahh so there is no easy quick fix way through is there. its hard as fk, but at least i aint alone, its kind of nice to know others have been there before me.
im really resisting the urge to ring her text her. i think that will just put me back to stage 1....

This is an illustration of the pain and humiliation that phoning an ex after a split will bring:
You have been warned.

i wouldnt advise shaggin loadsa birds or hitting the bottle cuz neither will help
how about takin up a new interest? keep yourself busy, keep your mind occupied
and in time u will feel better,
i went through a nasty split years back and thought i couldnt get thru it, but fortunately i had loadsa good mates around me and my bike
now i look back on it, in a better relationship (marriage) and a better person

yea your right, thing is she was really nice not a bitch in particular althoe my mind may be fogged up at the moment, also the fact she was my first real love which isnt helping the situation.
what sort of time frame are we looking at here?
i really thought i was the only chap this happened to at first cos everyone you ask just shrugs and sez ahhh i didnt think anything about it, was as easy as turning a light off.. i wish! lol.
ahhh you can always rely on james to illustrate a savage point lol. ill not try phoning or texting as i dont think it will help at all.

Well Superman, if you want to hear the Best Case Scenario - I'm probably living it!
I had a huuuuuuge split with a gf who I'd been with longer than anyone ever - for various reasons even Police got involved at one stage, so very much an enforced loss of contact.
It was -ing awful. Not least of all because I was losing everything and going bankrupt at the time as well, then had my bike stolen on top of it all...
It was hard, but things picked up and I got through it, and go together with another girl. We split after about 9 months, and I can honestly say I wasn't all that bothered, because no split was going to be as bad as the one before. I figured it happens, and that's life.
Strangely, it was about that time when the original one got back in touch with me, too. We emailed a bit, sent a few text messages, and ended up meeting up again... and now we're back together and happier than ever!
It's very unlikely this will happen to you or anyone else - but the point is you'll be fine somewhere down the line... and maybe you will get her back sometime in the future. Whatever happens, for the moment you have to learn to accept it's over, and learn from it. Worry about yourself and your own life for a while, and just see where life takes you.

shagging her best mate whilst good fun (maybe) might fall into the "burning your bridges" or "ALL OUT REVENGE" category so taking this approach really depends on what your feelings are towards her and the logic for the split.
If you beleive the split is for the best (answering honestly) then the best approach is to wish her well in the future - get the bike fettled and enjoy the warmer weather and your freedom with a few hard core blasts on the bike or whatever else you do to let your hair down. Anything else you do doenst really matter as you beleive the split is in both of your interests so drink and rampant shagging are great ways of letting off steam and what she thinks of all of this is a bit irrelavant as the split is in everybodies interest
However, if you dont think the split is what you want then that is a completely different deal and blasting around the country side whilst shagging your brains out (her best mate, mates or otherwise) may not be the best approach to convincing her she has made a mistake!!!
There isnt any fixed time table for all of this and to any of your friends who say "naw I just got over her instantly" are bullshitting and cant tell you how they really felt. I have to say this is easily the hardest question I have seen in the 9 months I have been using the site - good luck mate.

You wait!
One day you'll fall in love, and it'll make bashing her back doors in even better!
