>>More recently, a girl has been taunting me with other guys. According to all of her friends, she's trying to see how I react. Well, naturally, I react like I always do and simply withdraw from said situation.

Call her out on that shit, don't take it lying down. Trust me, I know how you feel; one of my ex girlfriends did that to me after she left me for another person.

Speaking of which, I'm kinda at a weird point. Every relationship I've ever been in ended in the person cheating on me/leaving me for another person... and I am still hurt by one of those relationships a year ago. Also, I'm in an area where there are very very few girls my type. I mean, I can hook up with random people, but none of them are people I probably would be able to connect with on a relationship level...

...However, at the same time, I do miss the feeling of being in love, of yearning for someone, of loving someone and being truly loved in return. I haven't been in a relationship in a year, and I haven't been truly in love and loved in return in 4 years. However, I'm going to wait until school starts back in August to worry about it, I guess...
