Hey man,

The short answer to your question is yes because it sounds like hanging around her make you feel terrible about yourself. She may want to stay in touch for whatever reason but the more you hang around, the less she will be attracted to you because you become the guy who is always available. Since this is your first love, it will hurt like a mother and there is no way to sugar coat the process. A suggestion I have is to delete her phone number, remove her from Facebook and keep busy to occupy your mind. Do something physical so that your mind doesn’t drift back to good old days and look great along the ways.

Some feedback. Ok.

I think your life would be better if you stopped playing phone games, stopped obsessing about what your ex is doing, and stopped behaving in a way that you yourself think of as acting like a loser.

She’s gone. You’re going to still be thinking about her, but practice thinking about her in the past tense. Don’t contact her, don’t contact your friend for about a year or so, delete her on facebook and whatever, and if you see them around just say hi and walk the fuck on. They have nothing to do with you now. It’s time for the next chapter in your life.

Should you let go? A thousand times yes. Good luck.
