Why do I feel so empty?

Question

Alright... Me and my boyfriend of about 6 months broke up about 3 months ago. I know that 6 months really isn't a long amount of time and all, but he was my first true love and all, so it hurt a lot when we broke up.
This weekend we were both at the same hotel for a sports activity. He started texting me for the first time in months and would hang around me and talk to me. He was kinda flirty, but I was scared that I was going to get hurt by him again. I asked him if we could talk and I told him that right now I couldn't be more than friends with him and I wasn't going to play any games with him. That was one of the hardest things to do, considering how much I missed him. However, I know I deserve better. Now, I feel so empty. I don't really miss him, but I want to talk to him. I feel lonely and im not sure what I should even do now. I feel like I don't have feelings for any guy right now, and I just feel so sad and strange. What can I do about this and why am I feeling this way?

You may have heard the saying, Time heals all wounds. When you first break up, those words might ring hollow. That’s because time is only part of the solution. To illustrate: A cut on your skin will heal in time, but it hurts now. You need to stop the bleeding and soothe the pain. You also need to keep it from becoming infected. The same is true with an emotional wound. Right now, it hurts. But there are steps you can take to lessen the pain and keep from becoming infected with bitterness. Time will do its part, but you can also do your part.
