<human>: I dated G[22F] for 2 years, about 8 years ago, she was my first love and things were pretty great until our inability to communicate with each other led to our break up. Since then I have not been able to get over my feelings for her. I have dated and loved other girls but none in the same way that I felt about her, not even really close. I realize no two loves are the same but I always feel something is lacking and that I'm not really capable of giving my all because a part of me is still stuck on G. We have talked over the last few years about what ifs and  whether something in the future may happen and we are both open to the idea and both have similar what ifs but no definite plans for it to happen, just that if he both happened to be single and in the same place maybe something would come of it. 

I've done all the usually prescribed "get over it tools" no contact/no facebook friending/hit the gym/rebound, but none of it works. We continue to talk and be friends but from a distance since we go to colleges many states apart. Every few months I ask myself the same question "what would I do if I were in a happy relationship with a woman and G came to me and said let's try again?" I've never been able to give myself a definitive answer on that but I lean more towards saying yes to her, and I feel like until I can answer that question with a no, I'll never really be over her but at this stage in my life, 22 going on 23 soon, I don't know if that day will come. I feel like that isn't fair to any of the women I have dated or will date. 

It would seem that I'm stuck on an idea of her and not her actually but I believe it is more her than the idea, she is still the same girl I knew so many years ago and though we're states apart we still have the strong friendship that we had before and after we dated. Is this feeling something I can get over or something I just have to continue to live with?

Give me the gist of the text in a nutshell
<bot>: 22M still stuck on ex 22F, 8 years after the break up, no end of feelings in sight, what do I do?
