Something similar happened to me recently. We didn't meet up, but I could sense his frustration through his WhatsApp statuses. This is due to the fascination that most people have with posting everything that happens in their lives. He posted something that went something like this: “She's somewhere else with someone else while I'm quietly in Spain.”

So I said to him, “Your post reflects exactly the opposite of what you say. If you didn't care, you wouldn't say that you don't care, you'd just get on with your life.” And then I said, “The best thing is what happens, whatever happens, because it happens for a reason.”

And I recommended that he get on with his life, focus on his personal goals, and that sooner or later he would find someone to connect with and be able to rebuild his love life.
