To my friends who just got out of a relationship, learn to enjoy life on your own, at least like for three months?
Meanwhile, try find the things that make you happy, do things that you have wanted to do, and spend time without a significant other. Date if you want to, but do so casually. Learn what you like and dislike and give yourself a hard, firm timeline to stay single.
I find that if you are contented with being single, you will be less likely to jump into a relationship for the wrong reasons.
And also, try to be picky, don't fall to fast...
Learn to say NOOOooooooooooo.
It's much too easy to jump right back into a relationship if you are just out of one, or jump too quickly at the first sign of sparks when you have been single for too long. My advice, DON'T FREAKING DO IT!
Take such opportunity to find someone who truly complements you, whom you have a deep connection with, and of course, whom you find attractive, not just any cats and dogs.
Also not forgetting to find yourself. The easier path to be happy and to have a healthy relationship is to understand what you yourself like and what actually make you happy. Take the time to find yourself while you are single. There's always give and take, but make sure you have a firm understanding of where to draw the line.
And to those friends that only know how to stick like a glue to their other half. Try reconnect with your old friends as relationships, particularly difficult ones can be very hand on friendships. While you are single, try reconnecting with old friends and if possible continue no matter what the relationship status are. Don't use friends as a crutch to fill the void of your lost relationship, rather find ways to ensure that your friends and family can stay part of any new relationship.
And to those friends who are still single, if you want to look and feel your best, try hitting the gym or go for regular jogging and get in shape. You will feel better, have more confidence which might actually aid in your next relationship off on the right foot. Find unique ways to get in shape, play tennis, golf, basketball or whatever. You might accidentally find or meet someone who has the same interests. Although such thing only happen in drama but who knows that it might actually happen.
Try meet new people every day, or at least learn more about the people you know. It's easy to sulk and feel isolated when you don't have that special someone in your life. Talking to people at your work place, store, gym or wherever place that you deem fit is a great way to stay social with no pressure. It's not just about finding someone new. rather it's a chance to become a more social and engaging person.
Lastly, I better go and carry on with my log book. :(
