For the record, my brother is book brilliant but an idiot otherwise. In fact, he forgot his friends were setting him up on a blind date (with his wife now), and he BROUGHT a date along. Yup, him, his date, and his future wife, on a daytrip to the wineries. Its funny now, but he's a fool. lol
And don't lose hope. Don't lose hope because 1) things are NOT over, and 2) life will bring you happiness regardless.
