I suspect you're struggling more because these two events occurred close together, so it was like a double whammy. I suggest you try to have a good time, get out, meet some folks, but hold off a bit on trying to latch on to another girl for a bit. (Of coure, you can kep your peepers open for possibilities on some level.) All guys strike out sometimes, despite what they might say. I'd say it's normal, under the circumstances.
