Question Posted Thursday November 10 2005, 5:42 pm

My boyfriend, of almost 2years, just broke up with me. I am going out tonight with my best girl Kate, and we are going bowling. Is that a good Idea?

What should I do to keep my mind off of it? And what shouldn't I do?

Going out with a friend is the best thing you can do when you've just come out of a relationship.

Just keep your mind off your ex and enjoy yourself. Don't be tempted to let your mind wander and upset yourself. If you want to, then try chatting to some guys. However, this could make you think of your ex and you don't want to launch into a rebound relationship this early.

Just relax and have fun.

Do anything to keep your mind off it. Last thing you need is to mope about how he could do this to you etc. I know it hurts, trust me I do but you can't dwell on it. What happened, happened. You can't change the past so put on a smile and face the music. Learn a lesson so you know for next time! :)
Chin up, darl!

Its a very good idea. The best way to keep your mind off things (besides finding a replacement), is to keep busy. :)

Life is a balance of holding on and letting go. And sometimes we just have to roll with the punches. There's a saying out there, "things have to get worse before they get better.", so think on that for a while :)

maybe you should invite a date to go with you. then you wouldnt be the third wheel. plus you could make your ex feel a little green with envy because you have a date. dont make it seem like you are upset about your bff and your ex bf. just have fun.

sounds like a great idea. Just have fun and try not to think about him. Laugh with Kate about old jokes and make new jokes. It'll be fine.
hope i helped!

Oh jeez, I'm so sorry. Breakups are ALWAYS hard. =/ Yeah, going out with your friend will get your mind off it. Try and keep yourself busy, or else you'll find yourself thinking about him. Avoid listening to sad love songs or watching romance movies. Go out and watch a comedy with a whole bunch of mates or something to cheer yourself up. And don't go anywhere that you guys used to go. It's going to be hard, but you CAN get through this. Also, if you find yourself thinking about him.. do this method I learned in psychology. It may sound funny, but it really works. Visualize a paper bag in your head, put everything thats worrying you in it, seal it, then immediately put your thoughts to something else. This especially helps at nighttime if you can't sleep because of what's on your mind.

All the best.

It's hurtful. Are you guys still friends? Because sometimes that helps a lot, so you don't have to randomly walk past him and ignore each other. Laughing about the good times together with your ex will help.

Going with Kate sounds good, you always need someone to cheer you up and talk to about the best times and the worst times, and especially how you feel.

What you shouldn't do:
Don't cry, and wollow (from the Gilmore Girls, it's sitting around all day eating ice cream watching TV in your PJs). Just...get over it; it's hard, but it's still life. The Cycle is what I call it.

Don't go with someone else if you're not ready for it, or trying to make that somebody jealous...


Hope I helped!!! =)

Hunni, I know exactly what you are going through. I JUST WENT THROUGH IT! My boyfriend of almost three years broke up with me for another girl that he didn't even know and who he met on the internet and who lives in California. The best thing for you to do is talk to friends and family about it and STAY STRONG! I know it is hard, but, in the end, it will be worth it. I am now over that jerk and with the LOVE OF MY LIFE! Trust me sweetie, you will be happy again one day. If you need anything, I am here for ya hun. *Hugs*. Hang In There! You are doing the right thing in staying busy. It will help! Just find a hobby and friends who care. DON'T sit around too much (Like on the internet, HAHA, which you are OBVIOUSLY DOING NOW). It will make you bored and you will think about it all OVER AND OVER again. Ok? TRUST ME! Let me know if you need abything once again! Thanks Sweetie!

do anything that makes you feel good without anything to do with him. (shopping!, anything to do with your best girls, movies, day at the spa, get your nails done.) dont worry about it. he's not worth your time. = )

Aw, I'm sorry. He is a jerk for doing that to you. I think that where ever you go with your friends is a good idea. It will keep your mind of him. Just have fun and keep yourself busy. You don't deserve to be sad. &hearts;
