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.
happy-helper answered Friday November 11 2005, 5:58 pm: 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!

There's a saying out there, "things have to get worse before they get better.", so think on that for a while :) [ Mackenzie's advice column | Ask Mackenzie A Question ]

smartgirl321 answered Thursday November 10 2005, 8:12 pm: 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.

Belladonna answered Thursday November 10 2005, 7:20 pm: 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.
x0xjj answered Thursday November 10 2005, 7:19 pm: 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...
LoveNJstyle answered Thursday November 10 2005, 7:06 pm: wow kels! i dont believe it...okkk yeah anything that you do with your girlfriends is good. don't bring him up too often and don't isolate yourself from them. i'd go get my nails done or something lol.<3 [ LoveNJstyle's advice column | Ask LoveNJstyle A Question ]
LilBSUBabe08 answered Thursday November 10 2005, 6:59 pm: 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!

thinkpink03 answered Thursday November 10 2005, 6:17 pm: youre doing the right thing! =) just do anything...hang out with your friends and dish on gossip , learn something new like a new hobby, or just ANYTHING keeping you busy to get your mind off him!
hco_babe answered Thursday November 10 2005, 6:08 pm: 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. = ) [ hco_babe's advice column | Ask hco_babe A Question ]
Teza answered Thursday November 10 2005, 6:02 pm: 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. ♥ [ Teza's advice column | Ask Teza A Question ]
