<human>: So I dated this girl for 6 years and she completely ripped my heart out. We broke up about 6-7 months ago and haven't really spoken since (it ended poorly, but she did send me an apology text 2 days ago out of nowhere).

I'm not the type of guy who has really any problems talking to girls, especially if I know them relatively well. There's a girl I've known for about two years, always thought she was cute. I saw her out a few weekends ago and texted her a few days later asking her out on a date. We went out, had a great time, and I think we're "talking" at this point. I've told her I'm interested in a relationship and she says she likes me but she's had issues with abusive boyfriends in the past. 

One thing I'm absolutely terrible at is being single. I have a wide circle of friends and I'm a super social guy, but most of my best friends are in relationships. I'm often the 3rd wheel, 5th wheel, etc. It often makes me feel lonely and lately I've been absolutely obsessing about this new girl I'm talking to.

So I guess my question is, does anyone else deal with this kind of stuff? I feel like I'm getting way too into this girl way too fast and I honestly don't know how to slow down. I have to stop myself from texting her 24 hours a day because obviously I know that's not an attractive or healthy thing to do.

Can you condense the text into three sentences or less?
<bot>: I dated a girl for a super long time and am awful at being single. Talking to a new girl and absolutely obsessing over her, need any sort of advice.
