Tips for men: 8 things to do after a breakup and before dating anyone new
Knowing how to get over a breakup is difficult because everyone reacts differently. Rushing into a new relationship when you’re not ready can make things worse so there are some things you should do after a breakup that could make the future easier for you.
1) Consider staying just friends
Couples can sometimes go back to being just friends after a breakup if it was a mutual decision and there are no hard feelings. This make might it an easier transition for you because they’ll still be a part of your life and you won’t feel like you’re missing something important. The relationship would have to change but all the good qualities in her will still be there when she’s a friend.
2) Figure out what went wrong
Both sides have a part in what went wrong so think in a subjective way about any mistakes that you made. This helps you come to terms with the breakup because you’ll realize that it wasn’t as sudden as you thought it was and stop you from making the same mistake with your next girlfriend.
3) Think about the good times
It’s easy to feel depressed after a breakup and that’s not a feeling you want to be stuck with so try to focus on the positive to boost your mood. Think about the good times you had with her and be happy that you got to experience them instead of thinking about being alone.
4) Have a guys night out
Go out with your friends and forget about your ex as you let loose and remember how much freedom you have when you’re single.
5) Focus on yourself
Don’t rush into a new relationship because you won’t be emotionally ready for it. Spend time doing things that you like, especially hobbies that you didn’t have time for when you were dating. You’ll feel better and you’ll be able to process the breakup in your own time.
6) Get rid of any mementos
Mementos can be a painful reminder so get rid of anything that reminds you of your ex. You should also delete her contact information so you’re not tempted to send her one last text. It’s better to end a relationship with a clean break because dragging it on will just make you feel emotionally drained.
7) Recharge emotionally and physically
You need to take care of your emotional and physical needs because you won’t be feeling 100%. Make sure you’re getting enough sleep, don’t drink too much and try to eat healthy meals. These things will naturally improve your mood and you’ll feel more able to deal with things.
8) Decide the next step
You need to figure out what you’re going to do next so that you have something to look forward to. This could be a non-relationship goal like starting a new hobby or it could be joining a dating site like AdultFriendFinder and looking for someone new. Do what feels right for you because deep down you know what you really need.
