Some of the more experienced posters will definitely have something to suggest, but I'll say from my experience that you should minimize emotional investment. The cuddles don't help with that, and it seems like you did the equivalent of staying the night.
At this point there's not much you can do but try to keep yourself distracted until the memories lose their freshness.
Rationalizing will help. Check out this tread. http://www.rooshvforum.network/thread-14341.html
Really solid advice thank you so much! I love the thread you linked me to, it actually helped a lot with feeling not so alone or ashamed. I really struggle with emotional investment so me "staying the night" was a symptom of that, I really felt connected and attracted to this girl and needed to hold on to her despite only knowing her for a couple of hours. I know the memory will lose its freshness/pain but I'm really concerned about when/if this happens again. I just hope to be better prepared.
