Kevin, maybe this has more to do with her than with you. It's hard to accept any rejection but when it is from someone you care very much about you begin to create all kinds of reasons why she left you and what you could have done differently when in fact it has less to do about you and more about her! From where I'm sitting, its probably a blessing of unanswered prayer that she has decided to break it off. Consider the possiblity that this pattern of behavior could be brought into a long term relationship where you are constantly worrying about her commitment and whether you're going to say something or do something to hurt her or make her angry.
On the other hand, God very often uses the pain of broken relationships to draw us closer to Him. I have discovered that He is the one constant and faithful friend who is not fickle and does not play silly and hurtful games with us. He is more willing to reveal Himself to us and give us hope and purpose than we can ever imagine. My hope for you is that you can know His will for your life (which often does include the joy of a faithful loving companion)!
