"Zac still finds it hard accepting Vanessa is gone, to the point where he spends hours talking about her, looking at old pictures and generally moping about what they used to have together," the source said.

"This is why he jumps from one girl to another and no relationship has ever worked for him since they split."

The website reported that had Zac Efron would take Vanessa Hudgens "in a heartbeat" but she was just not interested anymore.
