I am newly single!
Offer me trite advice on being single...
IE: There are other fish in the sea, you'll meet someone when you least expect it, the only worse than losing a love is loving a loser.... etc. Come on, you know you have a reserve of patronizing yet well-meaning adages on hand! (I'm fine-- it's sad.... but kind of a relief.) |
the best way to get over some one....is to get under somebody else
|
If you love him, set him free...
You'll end up where you were meant to... I mean...ummm |
You don't have to shave your legs!
You get the whole bed to yourself! Kissing random boys! You can watch as many Lifetime movies as you want! You can drink Brandy Alexanders with your girlfriends and not have to worry about meeting him to go to the Nascar fan fest or whatever whack ass event he wants you to attend! Kissing random boys! (wait, did I already mention that?) Laughing at the wedding horror stories thread and yelling SUCKERS!!!! Being off the Pill rocks! |

I know its hard, but having a rebound... or a few..... ;) is definately the best medicine, and you can just have fun, just try not to get too attached well.... congrats? lol I broke up with my ex last october... and its been a rough ride... if you want to talk it out, lemme know :) |
It hurts like hell now, but it gets better with time. (No, really, it does. I've been there.)

On this subject I pray you be dumb — dumb — dumb.
We think you had better succumb — cumb — cumb! You'll find there are many Who'll wed for a penny, Who'll wed for a penny — There are lots of good fish in the sea! There are lots of good fish in the sea! There's lots of good fish, good fish in the sea! There's lots of good fish, good fish in the sea, In the sea, in the sea, in the sea, in the sea! A cookie for whoever gets this reference...:D |

Sweetheart, good luck in your endeavors! :D |
even when you know its for the best, it still hurts like hell.
i am sorry that you are having to deal with a breakup. he obviously is an idiot and does not realize what he had!! have a gallon of your favorite ice cream on me! |
You have your whole life to be attached.... and you have so much going for you (in this case REALLY TRUE!!!), you don't need him or any man.
Blah, blah blah.... :) |

I personally am enjoying not having to pretend I like all his friends. It's quite freeing.

As my girls like to say...
..."single and ready to mingle!" But seriously, I'm glad you're relieved. A year ago, I broke up with my boyfriend of 5 years (we were off and on for the last year before that). BEST DECISION EVER. No sadness, no guilt. Actually, most of the time I'm freaking happy that the tumor is out of my life... |

(it's great you got the negative out of your life. I had to do the same. Hope your date went well) |
So, I like being single... but i can't help but be bitter around my friends that have boyfriends/ fiance's/ husbands....
idk just a rant... anyone else feel like this? lol |
^^^hell i miss being single...it has its advantages but somedays i dont feel like answering to/for anybody but myself...
|
everything takes time. it's o.k. to feel whatever you feel - if you need to go sit in the car and scream, let it out. if you need to go cry in the bathroom on your lunch break, let it out. whatever you do, you can FEEL what you want but you dont always have to ACT on those feelings.
for me, it helps to stay busy so i don't have to dwell on things. it's been 6 months since my breakup and i JUST started to see the sunshine. i'm disappointed but i am no longer angry, and every day it hurts a little bit less. It just takes time. If nothing else, check out THIS. I hope this brings a smile to your face. :) |
You do not want advice from these old bags on relationships.

It's fun being able to go with your friends without having to "check" with anybody else first. But be prepared when your friends take forever to get back to you because THEY have men to check with and you just have to wait till they all come to a concensus....oh, and when they show you pictures they just took and you don't have any ammo to come back with. If you put on the tough armor, you'll get used to that. In the meantime, flirt with as many guys as you please and have fun knowing there's no guilt! Just float from one to another and pick the one you like the best (but it's even more fun if you don't pick one at all, just let the cycle continue:o).

Perfect Solution!
Play this game!!!
http://www.usanetwork.com/series/sta...mes/whackanex/ Or, go to arcadetown.com and and in the "search games" box, type Relationship Revenge. Seriously, those games will at least make you laugh your ass off. Keep your chin up, ADPi!!!! It will get better! |
So what do you want to do tonight (this weekend, etc,)?
Anything YOU want to do!!!! That sounds so simple and silly, but I think it is the best part of being single. You said the breakup was a relief, so now its safe to say you don't have to put up with crap anymore. :D You can take time for yourself to get to know what you want in the future, for yourself and relationships. Take the time and energy that you spent with your ex and learn something new (take up a hobby that you've always wanted to do) or get back to doing something that you previously enjoyed. Take time to let yourself heal. Do whatever it is you need to do to heal. Don't throw yourself into your work, or ignore your feelings. It will only come back to you later. Good luck! Can anyone tell I just got out of a relationship? ;) Feel free to message me if you need to chat. |
Grrrr!!

Advice:
Stay busy. (Pretty self-explanatory) Get to know the you you are now. (We spend so much time focused on 'we' we forget the 'me' part. Get to know you!!) Honestly, I've had more fabulous dinner dates and string-free outings than I could count on both hands and feet! The nights I thought I would be 'lonely' I hung out with my girls Samantha, Carrie, Char and Miranda;)...baked some cookies, drank some wine. :p Oh, and when you do have have a bf who has a significant other and she wants to double - just think of all the choices you have to choose from!! She just has that same ol' guy, you on the other hand could bring the artist..the cutie from the coffee shop...the guy that walks his dog every morning at 7...catch my drift?;) Have fun! Have fun! Have fun!:D |

I lost a lot of good friend that were mutual who felt polarized by the situation so they just kinda stepped away I guess. But as for trite advice....."there are thousands of women everyday who get excited over nothing and them marry him" welp that won't be you! |
*You can go to the martini lounge with your girls, come home at 1:00 AM, and not have a million "Where have you been??" voicemails waiting for you when you get there.
*You can sit back and just listen while your friends tell you about the pointless arguments they had with their bfs/hubbies/fiances about trivial things like where to go for dinner or the correct way to load the dishwasher (and thank God it's not you). |
How come no one has said "engage in casual sex" yet?
