So you are now officially broke up with, what do you do now? You will probably have some free time on your hands this weekend, what is there to do?
#1: Have a few drinks
You better leave your cell phone at home or at minimum make sure that you stay sober enough to remember not to call your ex telling them how much you miss them. Not only is it highly likely you’ll be hung up on, but you will probably decrease the chances of being able to get your ex back! No drunk dialing!
#2: Go to the movies
Listen, more than likely she’s not sitting at home crying herself to sleep, neither should you! For some this may be easier said than done, but a good dose of temporary forgetfulness will do you good! I’m not advising anything illegal (or am i?), but go pay for one movie ticket, then go from theater to theater and watch a few movies. This is good for an all-day Saturday event. This is definitely a good option if you don’t feel like talking to people about the situation, or simply don’t have anyone to talk to.
#3: Start a workout routine
Most people who are in long relationships tend to let their bodies go. Instead of sports and dieting, it was traded in during the relationship for popcorn and sodas at the theater when you took your ex-girlfriend out on a date. What better time to get started back into this? You probably have some extra cash, this is definitely a good and very healthy option opposed to the two above approaches. If you can work up the motivation and desire, a good workout routine can be a great way to replace that time you used to spend with your ex.
#4: Get back into an old hobby
For me, this was basketball. It was still on the athletic side, but it doesn’t have to be. Normally everyone has a passion, perhaps something that was taken over by the time invested into your last relationship. But, now is the perfect time to pick those hobbies back up! It does not have to be athletics, it can be computer gaming for all I care. Anything from musical instruments, athletics, to star wars nerd festivals (no offense if this was you), it doesn’t matter.
So what are the above tips all about? There is one common thing that this will accomplish. It will create some separation between you and your ex. Even if its for an evening, try to find something you can make a routine. When you create that separation, it will give your ex some time to think about what you once had. Even better yet, while you’re having fun, your ex is the one thinking of these thoughts. Give it some time and it is nearly guaranteed that your ex will find herself calling you, which is the first sign that things can improve once again!
