martina34 Posted November 10, 2012 Posted November 10, 2012 We’ve all been there. Listening to “unchained melodies”, drinking Jack Daniels, and wishing we could turn back time. Even though getting dumped happens to everyone, there’s a right way and a wrong way to handle the situation. Remember the quote, “Life is 10% of what happens to us and 90% how we react to it? I wanna tell a story about twos friend of mine. I want to illustrate how one guy handled the situation the wrong way and ended up being sad for a long time, and another guy who handled it the right way and felt happiness soon. Wrong Way He dated this girl and they were in a relationship for about 3 months. Around that time she decided to leave him gave him the good ole “It’s not you, it’s me”, “We can still be friends” bull****. What did he do when she dumped him? He almost begged for her back. He asked her what was wrong, told her he can fix everything, and asked her for a second chance. She wouldn’t bulge. So then after a few weeks he told her that they could be “just friends.” Everything was fine until she started dating another guy, then he realized he was getting too jealous. He never got her back. I asked her why she dumped him to begin with and she told me, “He’s just too emotional and clingy” Right Way A few months later my friend got dumped from a 6 month relationship. Right after he got dumped he went to me from advice, he didn’t want the same thing happening again. This is what I told him to do. Delete her phone number. If she called him, he’ll keep the conversation brief Get rid of anything that reminds him of her. All the stuffed animals, notes, love dovey stuff Don’t listen to love songs. When you’re trying to get over a girl, you don’t need to hear Bolton singing “When a man loves a woman” Keep yourself busy. He started devoting more time to his hobbies like magic, sports, and his website And most of out, he went OUT. Me and my friends literally dragged him out to go partying every Friday/Saturday night. We made sure he was having a good time instead of sitting in the corner drinking beer by myself. Within 3 weeks he met another girl that he started dating. When his ex-girlfriend found out, she started getting jealous. “Why is he going out with another girl, he should be at home thinking about how he can’t have me.” You guys know how girls can be, so she called him up to talk and try to work things out. What did he do? He told her he wanted to work things out, he had sex with her for a week, and went to the new girl. He was in control and he had choices.
