4 months ago i was "dumped" by my ex of 6 years. We were together since i was 16, and she was the first girl i ever kissed (at the time i had a very low self-esteem and she was one of the most popular girls in my school, so i felt really lucky).

Over the years my self-esteem and confidence increased in part thanks to my relationship with her, since she basically exposed me to a lot of new people and social situations.

Since the breakup though, i've felt really bad about myself, as if i had lost everything i gained during those years. I recently started to realize that i didn't actually fix what was making me feel bad when i was a teenager, my relationship was just "distracting" me from my problems and i feel like i was just feeding off the social status my gf gave me (if that makes any sense).

Although i have been doing better lately (although i still haven't gotten over the breakup entirely), i feel like i dont know where to start in order to get my confidence back up. I feel very insecure about the fact that im 22 and have only been in a relationship with one person (i've never even kissed anyone else), and i feel this insecurity is holding me back when it comes to meeting new women.

I'm also attending college to become an engineer, and there are very few women there, so my social circle consists mostly of men. I have about 4 really really close friends, and a lot "less close" friends wich i interact with very regularly, but they also don't have female friends so my oportunities to interact with women are very scarce, as many of the house parties i go to end up being sausage parties.

Currently i am concentrating in school and new hobbies (i started bouldering recently and i also have been going to the gym for a couple of years, though not taking it very seriously). I'm 6'' and and a bit skinny, and i'd say i have an average face, so i think the thing that is holding me back the most is lack of oportunities to interact with new women.

To summarize, i feel very self concious about my lack of experience with women and i feel like it is getting in the way of me getting over my recent breakup, but i don't really know where to start in order to fix this. Any advice will be gratly appreciated
