Eh, my answer has always been this - travel.
Grab a tiny little backpack (a napsack maybe) and put the MOST important stuff in that, then walk down to the airport and see what international flight sticks out at you and has an available seat.
When going through a catharsis (as you are) romantic addictions are very easy to come by. I went to India during my own catharsis... Something about culture shock that makes you completely forget all your other silly concerns.
Girls are not worth this much grief (no body is, for that matter) and you certainly deserve the best, but, you need to believe that for yourself - nothing like a completely unfamiliar country to shock that inner core out of its slumber...
Hope this is of use.
P.S this is like committing suicide - you either do it or you don't. (kind of like anything in life really). Traveling just won't kill you, and certainly will make you an extremely confident and interesting person.
