Post Break-Up Tips

Any suggestions on how to ease the pain, so to speak?

Bluntness. Oh wait... Ease pain or make sure it's over? Because you can almost never have both.

Read a good book 👆

Trust me, it can help

Well, the thing is, I hate the feeling that I've invested so much time in the relationship and now it's over, you know what I mean?

Crazy.

Tell them the truth, but try to tell them that if they really do care, they will understand your choice.
Try to be friends afterwards, as well. But never ever say "it's not you, it's me".

I know how that feels too. For the first steps of dealing with it, it's a good idea to forget about it as much as you can. Then, once you think you're ready to deal with it properly, you do. Talk to family as well, that works 👆

Hang out with friends, they know how to make you feel good about yourself. Even if it is making a joke out of the situation.

That's exactly how I felt with my last relationship. I also hated the fact that I Really came to love her family too. But that happens, and you'll go through it again.

*reads a Business Management book*

Girlfriend: What are you trying to say?

Me: I'm trying to say that we're making a cut back, our relationship isn't making enough as it is, someone has to be laid off... you're fired!

Yeah, that does help...

At least I didn't read the bible. 😐

😂

lawl you know what I mean, a fiction book 131

Yeah. I mean, I just hate the fact that people older than me say "You got plenty of time to settle down" (i'm 18). They say things like, "I've been through that too. We all have." "Lots of girls out there."

I know what they're trying to do when they say things like that, but it doesn't help does it? It just makes you feel insignificant because you thought to yourself, "I'm experiencing something special. I'm one of the few who won't need to date around for 10 years to find the girl I want to marry because here she is."

Messed-up that.

I don't even find anything Business-related funny (The Office and Dilbert notwithstanding), but that bit has cheered me up.

Unfortunately they're right though 😬

And even YOU might say the same thing to someone in the future 😛

I hate tho old 'plenty more fish in the sea' rope that girls always throw at people. It depresses me. 🙁

Still, the people here have some good ideas, I'm sure we can help you 😄

I absolutely agree.

Yeah, it's definitely cliche but like you said, I wouldn't completely rule out saying that to someone younger in the future.

Well, here's the thing. I have to ask. On TV, you see all these characters who are "players" (i.e. Barney from How I Met Your Mother, Joey from Friends). How do these characters get so emotionally detached from women? I admire their lack of emotional involvement with women but how does someone end up like that. Or is it a work of fiction like the shows themselves?

No there are real people like that. Some of them are probably born with it whereas others got hurt enough to become like it. Some might have a very bad past (or maybe very good?) and just turn into that. I could never do that, I like being romantic.

Shoot them in the kneecap then scream at them, "YOU WANT THIS TO HAPPEN AGAIN MOTHER****ER?" then run away shooting into the air.
