Strings or no strings, if there is a connection of sorts , whether it is the body or the mind we will still feel loss of some kind.after all we are human with emotions and maybe something else is missing in your life that you are actually missing deep down and this has just awakened those feelings again

Be busy, go out and meet friends etc. The worse thing you can do is sitting at home thinking about it.

This is the problem with casual relationships
As much as we talk about 'no strings attached', there's always the chance that someone will develop deeper feelings for the other person.
And that hurts
Perhaps this kind of relationship is not for you and you may be better to leave this behind you (time will heal) and look forward to meeting someone who will fulfil most of your needs, not just the physical one

Very well said.
OP, I am sorry you are going through this. The best way to go on is to stay busy. Take courses @ your local college, Keep track of your thoughts in a journal, read, bike - anything, just stay busy. Also, protect yourself from this type of situation in the future.
For myself, I will not partake in a "No Strings Attached" relationship. To me, they have never seemed logical nor healthy for either party, one or both run the risk of getting hurt.
I also feel too much emphasis and power is given to getting physical far too early. Often long before the relationship has become infact a realationship. How can anything survive or grow without doing the first steps? Steps of being friends and then slowly growing from there?
I have seen many a friend get hurt by trying to go too fast or to agree to no attachment, impossible, as they always get hurt or hurt the other person. I feel that if you truly care about another human being and are not sure he is what you want in the long run, one will not get involved past friendship. However, that is just my opinion.
One final bit of advice: Beware of him returning. I have seen many friends go through what you are experiencing only to have him return for another round, leaving them hurt even more. You see, often they are not happy with where ever or whomever they are and they return to a place they know they were safe and welcome while looking for the next place to go, then they remind you "No Strings Attached" remember? Please do not fall for that.
