Hi there,
I like your question because it secretly gives you an answer. You ask, how do you move on? I think, you keep moving. I'm a big believer in actions, especially ones that involve forward momentum. Hobbies, exercise/sport, learning new things and spending time with friends can be a big help here. Like Pook says, if you keep busy, that will become your focus, and then the past will gradually seem more tolerable. Moving on implies not staying stuck or hung up on things you can't control.
I have a sibling going through a rough divorce right now. The whole thing took him by surprise, and he's doubting his very identity. He feels a mix of shame, regret, anger and grief. One time when he was really down, I asked him to recall some moments he felt happy--anything that came to mind, nothing was insignificant or stupid. He named one thing, and I said, Great, how about another? And another? And another? And another? After naming around a dozen happy moments in rapid-fire succession, I said, Well it seems to me that there are some themes here. You seem to be happiest when you're outdoors, doing something active, or spending time with friends. How about you focus on trying to do more of that in your life right now, when you most need it? You have an opportunity here, because you don't have a partner to worry about right now (their schedule, their preferences, their needs, etc.)--you can pursue what makes you happiest with no guilt! And I'm pleased to say that he started moving again. He goes surfing. He joined a pick-up hockey team. He took a ski trip with some friends. He joined a men's bible study group. He goes for walks with a friendly neighbor. Now when we talk, at least half of the conversation is about all the great stuff he's doing.
Now, I'm older than my sibling, and physically I'm way past my peak. But this year, I started cross-country skiing, whenever there was snow on the ground. I also started stretching every day as a New Year's resolution. I exercise my brain with daily foreign language lessons. Sometimes I work on artistic projects, and sometimes I undertake small renovation projects. I nurture an herb garden. My point is, people have different tastes and aptitudes, and those can evolve over time. But moving--as in, staying active--makes for a happier, fuller life in my opinion.
As for friends, you could try to reach out to some older ones. I do that every so often. I'll say something like, I thought of you and thought I'd check in to see how you're doing. More often than not, they're delighted to hear from me, and we'll make plans to talk or get together.
Good luck.
