It gets easier with time, you will not be lonely forever, whether it be with her or someone else. Quit feeling sorry for yourself, start looking for the good things in your life. Do you like sports? Join a volleyball league or softball league. Do you have season tickets for a college football team? So many things to do out there.
By the way she may not pick that rope back up, but you need to really look at yourself and what you are doing, life is too short.
I find it honorable that you are not going to date anyone else, but there is nothing wrong with going out there and dancing a little bit or flirting here and there is there? Be mysterious. It will get back to her whether you want it to or not.
