Hey dude.

If you don't mind I give you my suggestions

I think this is the girl of my dream sounds more natural...

I think you should said The only way to forget your ex-girlfriend is always

concentrating on your career...

Step out means 1 To walk briskly.
2 To go outside for a short time.
3 Informal To go out for a special evening of entertainment.
4 To withdraw; quit
Yes you are right"bucks" means U.S dollars you can use it in American slang it is imformal way to say dollars.....

Don�t put your nose into my own business occurs me remember this expression.Thank you.......It is natural expression,also a funy way to say mind your business.....
I am an ESL learner.the same as you........I come from China....
