<human>: We were together for almost 4 years and we didn't break up for any 'bad' reason, like cheating or anything. We were both 22 when we broke up and it was because we had different ambitions. He wanted to travel, I wanted to find a good job and travel later. 

Also I hadn't learnt the 'be happy alone before being happy in a relationship' thing first so I had my own shit to deal with, which I feel I have now and feel way better about. I feel ready now to have a relationship in a way I never was when I was actually in one, so that's a good thing that's come out of this. 

I'm just wondering if you redditors have any advice for me? I'm working and socialising and that sort of stuff, everything's great, but every time I think I meet someone I might like or think about wanting to date I feel like..what's the point, because I still love Ex-boyfriend.
