How to Get Over Your Ex and Get Back to Dating

Friday, October 2nd, 2009

They say that time heals everything and that’s true, but there are plenty of ways that you can help time along and heal faster so you can get over a recent break up and back to dating. So, instead of mulling over your ex and pouting around the house in your PJs all day attempting to find some vice ridden over indulgence to dive wrists deep into in order to forget the pain of the whole ordeal, try the following suggestions instead:

1) Accept That It’s Over

Crazy, right? Don’t think about, don’t try to call your Ex, don’t try to drive by your Ex’s house in the middle of the night and certainly don’t email your Ex. It’s over — quit it! Delete the phone number, rip up the love notes, delete the email address and get yourself a new online dating profile. Now THAT’S good advice, if you’ll follow up with it.

2) Call up Your Friends

When people are in a serious relationship they tend to fade out of their coveted social circles. So, now that you’re broken up this is a perfect opportunity to start getting back with your friends. Besides, what are friends for, right? Call them on the phone and go out with them even if you don’t particularly feel like it. Not only will you feel a little bit more normal, but you’ll begin ironing out your emotional kinks more quickly so that you can move on and get back to dating.

3) Improve Yourself

Think of all the time you wasted falling in love with your Ex just for it to end. Sorry, I didn’t want to make you feel bad, but now is the perfect opportunity to start taking more advantage of your time. Go take some classes down out your local community college and meet some new people. Go on a trip nearby to a place you’ve never been before. Start a new exercise regime. Learn how to play chess — whatever! Just work on improving yourself and using your time more wisely. This may help you discover some things about yourself that you never knew, which will in turn help you choose a different type of love interest the next time around.

4) Get a Hobby

Start painting, taking up photography or even sculpture. Collect stamps. Put together model cars. Study quantum mechanics in your spare time — it’s up to you, just get a hobby. A Hobby will not only take your mind off your ex it may also help you gain new conversation topics and aid you in discovering talents you never knew you had.

5) Keep Your Sense of Humor

Laugh at yourself and your situation, if you can’t do that then you’ll never get anywhere in life and definitely not over your Ex. Look back and reflect. Realize silly mistakes you’ve made in past relationships or feelings you experienced at the time and considered so important that you now consider incredibly trivial.

6) Reinvent Yourself

This is the most important aspect for getting over you Ex and getting back to dating. One of the best ways to reinvent yourself is to see yourself from the outside in like looking at a picture. Show the world who you really are and how ready you are to go out and be adventurous after your break up by going to DatingHeadShots.com and finding certified professional photographers in your area, you will be able to have 50 studio-quality photographs taken for under $130. The professional photographers will help guide you along in the process so that your inner self can truly shine through.

When you’re ready to start searching for the right person via your online dating profile of choice then you can pick 4 of your favorite photographs and DatingHeadShots.com will resize, reformat and retouch them to fit your online dating profile perfectly.

Remember, always reinvent yourself after a break up — it’s a new day. If you keep doing the same things over and over again and you keep getting bad results, then it’s a clear sign that you need to try something new. So, stop pouting and start getting online and finding dates, but make sure that everyone can see how fresh and revived you look by getting new professional dating photos from DatingHeadShots.com.
