Firstly forget your ex. Right now! Put her behind you by boxing up all those soppy mementos, pics etc you know shouldn't be around. I don't mean everything but definitely the items that evoke strong emotions. You are going to throw this box away eventually but not yet, for the moment pop it in the loft where you won't be seeing it!
Stop looking at her Facebook page etc because if you're not on talking terms then it will make it worse. Delete her number too, out of sight our of mind
Next go out! I don't mean just leaving the house, do stuff, salsa classes, climbing, bar job, evening classes. All of these things require that you go out and interact but not in a sexual or stand out way. You will get used to making small talk and interacting with people plus as a result of the classes and activities you will become a more interesting and well rounded person as you learn more and get great stories or discussion points.
I found the most important confidence booster for me was going to the gym, make yourself look and feel better by slimming up, building muscle and releasing those endorphins. You can have a program made for you but with a couple of hours good research you can make your own and find out a lot more about biology and chemistry.
Next get out there and start using all of this information you have been Learning. At the moment it just seems that you are reading everything but you don't necessarily need to. You can read all about a sport or subject but unless you train and do you'll never be much cop
It's a shit place to be thinking about some girl but we've all been there so sometimes you just have to choose your path then put 1 foot in front of the other. Good luck

Thanks for the sound advice matey, and no worries your not harsh at all the truth always hurts and is always the best way forward,
i have since breaking up joined a mixed martial arts academy and really enjoy it up to purple belt now and earlier this year also joined a ju jitsu class up to orange belt on there, i really enjoy these and give me something to look forward to, problem is there are no women in these sessions

the only time i see women is if im out for a drink around town, and thats when i get all wussed out and wont approach,
I work in a power station so all my interaction day in and day out are with men,
saying that i am seeing someone at the moment but its a very hush hush she doesnt belong to me putting it bluntly
my biggest thing is trying to forget my ex, im sure i have posted something about her before, but a little re cap is 2 years on after countless councelling and a hypnotherapy session not a moment in the day goes by that i dont think of her its very soul destroying and affecting my life familyand friends
nothing like finding a new woman to help move along so thats why im here really, having the confidence to go and talk to someone, and actually know what to say would be a massive step forward for me and hopefully forward to a brighter future
