Hello everyone, I'll try to keep this short.

Three weeks ago I Found out my ex had been lying to me when she went out of state. She was using dating apps to meet guys in her area, party and drink. She came back to town and tried contacting me saying sorry. I went no contact.

Things were getting better until I heard she started dating someone new last week. I looked through all her social media and now I am back at day one. I can't stop constantly checking and asking myself why she would leave me for him and it's taking a toll to my studies. She is now with a much older and guy with a kid that has no education/trade or future just like her. It makes me question myself, am I really that much of a loser like him?

I have taken the steps to improve myself, hit the gym hard, been focusing hard to finish my last year of engineering, new wardrobe, got some amazing research positions but now there is a girl that likes me. She want's to date and whenever I'm with her I forget about my ex but I don't want to hurt her.

So Reddit, how can I make myself stop stalking my ex and start focusing on my studies again? It runs through my mind 24/7, I feel like I'm back to the day I found out she cheated on me. Should I start dating this girl, we have many similar interests and I have fun with her however, I still have feeling for my ex.
