 the anon person is definitely right. the first thing i find myself doing after a break up is writing an extensive list of every reason why we were NOT meant to be together. big and small. the last guy i broke up with had a list about a page and a half long. starting with that he slept like a vegetable and ending with he was a selfish lover, with everything in between!i also tend to do a little makeover after breakups. i am a strong believer in shopping as a therapy, whether i have the money for an outfit or a new nail polish color! if i have something pretty to wear, a new cosmetic, a new haircut, i have started a new chapter in my life as a single woman.girls nights, sappy love movies where the man is the ideal soulmate to remind me why i'm holding out for the best, blasting songs like "i will survive" and "beautiful soul" have always seemed to help.so does going out and finding a new man to occupy time =] in fact staying busy, period, helps.gl!

So, focus on what you do want and only date those who wants you to be happy. You may still love him because there is something about his personality you fell for and you're probably remembering the good times you guys had...but to move on...you need closure...and look at it as a life lesson and though ya'll had your fun...you're going to focus on finding mr.right!
