We don’t connect on a deep level...

My girlfriend is always chatting with people online and I don’t know why this bothers me, but it makes me feel as if I am inadequate in some way. She doesn’t talk much to me when we are together, and whatever we discuss is shallow and related to our daily lives, not about her personal life or her feelings. She is not very open about things, and I have tried my best to be more honest about how I feel, which hasn’t changed how we communicate. It has been seven months since we began dating and I sometimes feel as if I don’t know her any better than before we started this relationship. Is this a sign that she isn’t in love with me the way I am in love with her? If it’s not a deep or meaningful relationship, I don’t see how I can be with her much longer.
If you evaluate your reasons for being in this relationship and feel as if you aren’t connecting with your partner, it’s a problem. If it doesn’t feel meaningful, you aren’t getting what you are putting into this, which is also a problem. The best way to address it is by being direct and telling her why you don’t feel fulfilled. If her chatting online is an issue, talk about it. If she is dismissive about either issue or doesn’t take it seriously enough to initiate some changes, it is a sign that this isn’t as important to her as it is to you. If that happens, you should re-evaluate whether this is someone you want to spend more time with because a long-term future may not be plausible.

I’m ready to move on and be happy, but don’t know if I will get over my ex. What can I do?
You won’t have an answer to this until you start this new phase of your life. Trust that managing grief is a process and time can heal a lot of things, and you will feel differently soon.
