- start meeting new people. date casually. no further than a kiss or two. going to the extreme would really be a rebound but getting to know someone w/ low emphasis on sexuality i think fixes the skewed perspective.
- do something new everyday but honor your feelings. when you feel sad, don't cover it up by trying to keep busy. be aware of it. and let it ride.
-cry when you feel like crying
-don't speak to him for awhile. it will be hard but the transition is always awkward and who really wants to play post-breakup games? don't make it any harder than it should be
-enjoy a sappy movie or two. that always makes me feel better at least
-talk to family and friends for support
-embrace being single. realize that it's not necessarily a bad thing.
