Dude I did that crap for 5 years! 5 years. I became the "nagging gf" Bc she never texted back or had anything to say of substance. Come to find out there were several occasions of cheating and lying. College sweetheart lived together for 3 years... She still wanted to get married but was literally just a compulsive liar and cheater. Finally had to kick her out. Point is: find the right one and don't waste A SECOND on them if it feels wrong. Be careful and be PICKY before u fall in love. But u have to get burned yourself before u learn this. 8 months is a small price to pay to learn this very important fact
And u will be just fine. It took 4 months of lesson around round with meaningless girls but I just met a girl last night actually who literally could be my soul mate... I believe she is in fact and I don't say that lightly. Point is, it takes time, trial and error.. Don't get too down. It's all part of the grand plan. Stick w your buddies, go out have fun, train hard, dial in your diet, focus on work, you'll forget about her and the right girl will fall into your lap
