Hi first poster here. I recently got broken up with due to long distance and the want to date other people on my partners behalf. I would usually take this as a loss however I am not sure if I should continue to better myself and keep my idea of him coming back to me open or should I completely count him as a loss and truly move on?

He is masculine, smart, gentleman and comes from a great family. I am confused what went wrong and if I should keep my eyes and ears open for an opportunity with him or forget about him completely?

I would usually forget about him completely however I feel a lingering feeling that he is truly a catch and I should be a better woman to deserve him later down the line.

Am I being realistic or delusional ?
