I would've thought having friends is more about having interests outside a girl rather than being insecure or the need to be a socialite...
"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
Help, i go crazy when im without her! :(

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

I always used to get obsessed over girls like this guy, and it's f***ing hard to get over it. And u gotta be careful it doesn't turn into depression when they dump u, cuz they almost always do in that case. There's an article here about the link between depression and breakups: http://www.medicinenet.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=36188
Anyways, what I found works best is if u just get out there, and find urself a gf that u might not like as much as her, but who u can respect, then stay with her for a while. Don't set ur standards too high, ur goal isn't becoming a dj overnight its just recovering ur self esteem. Then, when she gets obsessed over u the way u got obsessed over the last girl, maybe you'll start to feel like your life isn't so bad.
You might not have the same experience as me, but the idea is to just drill it into your brain that people like you.
Also, as for what your feeling about her you might feel better if I pick that apart for you. Basically, humans are animals, just like any other, except that we've evolved a bigger brain. The number one goal of any animal is to pass on its genes.
This means that there are three things that are important to you:
1) Not dying
2) Passing on your genes ie getting laid or having the potential to do so
3) Helping your family with 1) Not dying
If your brain, which is an important part of this survival machine that is you, detects that you aren't fulfilling these goals, it gets unhappy. Really fu**ing unhappy.
Evolutionary psychology predicts that after a while, not being able to get a date should be about as stressful as getting daily death threats, or living in a war zone, or losing a parent or sibling.
Keeping this in mind your first step should be to try and keep your current girl, but if u can do that find another one fast. Any one will do, don't be picky.
As you pick up the pieces you'll start realising what a ****ty part of your life this one has been, and how much better your life can get. Hell, you'll eventually be a DJ and be mackin all the girls, but one thing at a time.
Good luck

he does not need to dump her, just get an outside life so she does not get bored of him, even if they dont end up getting married, which is probably the case, he can use her to learn how to respond to women and be a better man
Hey man,
one poster said go ahead and do whatever you wanna do, I'll just aid "be prepared to face the results".
I'm not convinced you'll fail, it's likely though.
I have a friend who's 26, and keeps giving his girl presents, giving compliments all the time, seeing her 24/7 etc. and guess what? They are together for 8 months now. I've given them a few weeks when they started the relationship.
I'm not advocating this kind of behaviour but if you don't know what to do it's better to do what feels right than to do nothing at all (which is probably the biggest afc mistake).

“The 22 Rules That Turned Me From Invisible to Irresistible With Women… Starting Tonight”
You can skip the expensive cars, the fancy clothes, and the endless gym selfies. Completely unnecessary.
I used to freeze the second a beautiful woman looked my way. Frustrated. Awkward. Watching other guys walk away with the girl while I stood there tongue-tied.
Then I discovered 22 simple rules that rewired my entire dating life. The anxiety vanished. Conversations flowed effortlessly. Women started chasing me for a change.
These rules trigger a woman's subconscious attraction switches. And you can start using them tonight.
true
Everything these guys have said is absolutely true. I cant tell you how god damn true it is..it happened to me about a month ago.. I sounded just like you 2-3 months ago..I mean exaclty, even the changing behaviors and all the obsseion, then I would read an article and be okay for a while then become insecure all over again bcuz i used her as a cruch for my life.
Go and get a life, go make friends.
When she broke up with me it hurt like a b*tch, man it sucked, cried alot.. but I know down the line its gonna make me a stronger man.
Right now Im going through a "me" phase.. bascially just enjoying everyday and not concerning myself with girls, just having fun and living everyday..started workin out, hanging out with friends and soon maybe start partying. Girls are too painful..i dont feel like dealing with the game right now..kinda exhausted.
My biggest priority is to make new guy friends. To have ppl that i can do stuff with.
YOU WILL BREAK UP...guaranteeed... BUT its a great chance to learn from.. And if you keep the fact that you will break up in the back of your mind...it takes the pressure off you, if you think she is the best thing in the world then its going to be much harder to get rid of her when it happens.

Self-control my friend
That's all you need. You're letting your mind take over and is making you it's little b*tch. You need more self-control. Just take a look at any guy who's great with women. If you ever notice, he doesn't laugh his hardest when he hears a joke, he may barely crack a smile. Does it look cool at all if you were to laugh hysterically at everything she says?? No way, you'd look like a total push over.
He also doesn't give into passion and feelings of neediness. He keeps it under control. You can't let yourself get excited or needy, have control over your mind and prevent it from engulfing itself in passion. You'll soon see that the woman will start to want u more because now the tides have turned and you're the boss.
If you don't control this now, you never will. I've tried it and it works tremendously.
