lovestruck818 Posted September 5, 2008 Posted September 5, 2008 Well, it's been a week already since I ended things my with ex. It has been a rough, hard, sad week but I am determined to get back out there & date again. Tonight I have a date w/ an old friend who I recently re-connected with on facebook. I am interested in this guy as a potential boyfriend but i don't know how he feels. i guess I will find out tonight. Do you guys think it is too soon to be getting back out there and wanting something serious again? I'm not going to be able to get over the ex otherwise.
Shygirl15 Posted September 5, 2008 Posted September 5, 2008 No, it's never too soon. I guess we all heal differently, some need more time on their own before jumping on another relationship, but IMO opening up and meeting new people is always a good and fast way to get over your ex and your past.
jerbear Posted September 5, 2008 Posted September 5, 2008 Just go out and have fun on this date. Enjoy yourself and worry about being serious after a few dates.
rod_in_gtown Posted September 5, 2008 Posted September 5, 2008 Go out, have fun, make out if you feel like it, but Don't have sex and don't talk about your ex unless he asks, and if he does, talk about him in a very non-chalant don't-care-about-him kind of way. If you go into detail about how great he was and how much you miss him or how devastated you are, he might run for the hills.

CommitmentPhobe Posted September 5, 2008 Posted September 5, 2008 Don't go on about your real estate either
Trialbyfire Posted September 5, 2008 Posted September 5, 2008 lovestruck, relax and date casually, just to get back on the horse. The average person fresh out of relationship with a difficult break up, tends not to be in an emotional state to be able to jump into the next one. Not only are you vulnerable, in that you probably miss that relationship feeling of security, warmth and caring, but you'll also be carrying around baggage which you'll unintentionally be dumping on any rebound. The very unusual person who can jump right into the next relationship without missing a beat, has already left the last one far, far behind while still in it. I don't see you as being in that position but hey, I could easily be wrong. Good luck and have some fun!
spookie Posted September 5, 2008 Posted September 5, 2008 Don't go on about your real estate either I second that.
