<human>: I had a long term girlfriend that I thought I was going to marry that I dated for 3 years and we ended up breaking up at the beginning of the year. I was pretty distraught, so I ended up dating one of my best friends about a month after and we lasted for 6 months. We weren't right for each other, and the relationship ended pretty badly. Now we're not even really friends anymore.

Anyways so I've been single for about 1 month or so now, and I have no idea what I'm doing. I have good friends, but I'm not used to being myself at all. As a guy I don't know if this sounds pathetic or not, but it's just how I'm feeling. I think that I really need to just take time and use it to better myself, but at the same time I haven't felt very happy trying to do so. Because of that I've thought about trying dating again, but I'm still not sure if it's the best thing for me. I have irrational fears that I won't find someone else, and I don't want that to be the reason I go chase girls again. I really want my next relationship to just kind of happen naturally (I've heard a lot of people say this is how they found their wife/husband), but at the same time I know something isn't going to be dropped in my lap.

So with all this said, redditors, do you think I should date again, or take time for myself, or maybe receive psychiatric help? lol. Please let me know what your thoughts are. If anyone has gone through a similar situation having a hard time being single, please give me some advice on what you did to get through it.

Can you provide a brief rundown of the text in within 3 sentences?
<bot>: I've been in relationships for so long that now I'm not sure what to do with myself being single. How should I go about getting over it?
