im working on getting over dave. me and this guy from my history class are going out to dinner tonight, just as friends. he walked me to class and we hung out today. he's cool but im not in for a relationship quite yet obviously. but i know he likes me...so i guess we'll just play it by ear, i think it might be nice to be single for a while though.

how did you get over your exes?

:puzz i think i missed something.
but i think being single for a while is a good idea. you learn so much about who you are and what you want. and it can be alot of fun!

KEEP BUSY!!!!
Whether you feel like it or not!
Call friends (most important), exercise (I hate it), read (love it), watch movies, anything.
Just don't sit around focusing on it!
Making new boy friends doesn't hurt either!
Have fun at your dinner!

yeah when my ex & i broke up, i was single for 6 months till db & i got together... and even then i wasnt sure. i left us as nonexclusive for 2 months of him saying "i wanna be your man". "i want you for xmas". "i wanna be the guy by your side" & when he actually got to iraq is when it hit me on how much i actually like him! but yeah, stay single for a while & something amazing will just hit you like a brick!
and to get over him, stay occupied, and flirt a lot! lol when you're alone is when you'll have the hardest time, but flirting is always fun! become a 'player' lol thats pretty exciting too! just dont let them find out about each other! hahaha

sorry about that. i caught up. firstly, sorry babe :hugs
look at these experiences as opportunities to grow & learn more about yourself. rather than mourning the loss of a relationship, look at what you have learned. lost or not, you learned something! everything happens for a reason.
so go out with girlfriends. go out with guy friends, no strings attached. write in a journal. focus on school. paint & draw your heart away!

time and more time is the way I got over my exes. Everyone is different on how they heal. I dated someone for 3 1/2 years and when we broke up I recognized in myself there was no way I was ready to date anyone. I was single for a looong time and as a result I don't hold the mistakes of my ex against DF and I am truly grateful for that.

It takes time. It's nothing to rush, because that always backfires, trust me.

when me and db broke up for the first time i laid in bed all day and watched house season 1.. i dont think it helped though i was depressed and moping around and cried after episode was finished... cuz i came back to reality. ugh it was horrible.. i felt like i had the flu. my body ached.. so for one thing dont just sit there and watch tv. ocupy yourself with other people... thats how i kept myself busy.

the crush in class always helps,
just to keep your mind distracted and stay positive,
that's always how i recovered. focusing on other people

so this may or may not be encouraging...but i was with my ex for 3.5 years and when we broke up i was single for about 2 years before i got together with DF...i made out with a few guys during that time, but never took anything to the next level, and i'm really glad about that one!

considering you guys just broke up like yesterday my advice - take it very slow, be single for a long time, and make sure the next relationship you're in is worth your time and effort. i recall you saying you and dave were going to get married and picking out the dress... so i know that you are probably deeply injured by this breakup, though your relationship was short lived. :hugs i hope you feel better soon; and enjoy singlehood :D
