    It's been a long time since I was single - 11 years ago. I always took it like a man. Once they ended it , it was over. My ego would never let me take them back or want them back. My way of dealing with it would be to work out extra hard for the next few months. Get really hot and then happen to show up at bar or event that I knew that person would be at . 4/5 times the guy would try to get back together. I'd say hell no and that was the closure I needed!

    Usually I go out and make bad decisions. Hello drunk tease at the bar.

    "Welps, time for a Family Guy marathon."

    edit: That is literally what I did from sun up to sun down when I got dumped.

    hahaha THIS^^^^

    I do the same thing! :drinker:
    Probaby cry for about 5-10 minutes and then be done with it. Once I'm out of the relationship, I don't go back. I lose almost all the interest that was there within a week. Work on getting hotter than I was, buy new clothes, go out more often, and enjoy my life. It's my life. Not going to waste it being miserable over someone who doesn't want me. :wink:

    I have had most of my ex boyfriends come back around a few months or a few years later saying I was the best girlfriend they ever had and I looked great and what was I up to and my response was usually, "Yes I'm awesome, yes you're an idiot for not recognizing, yes I look fantastic, and no I'm not wasting any more time on you. Peace." :glasses:

    No. Are you kidding me? This is not true. Men get over it probably faster than anyone else...unless your self esteem is ridiculously low. Most men tend to do a few rebounds before actually committing again, but we don't openly weep about it for months. lol.

    It's only happened once almost 5 years ago and I cried because I was in shock. I wasn't even in love with him or anything. It's just that our relationship was really good IMO and it caught me by surprise. I also cried because he had cheated on me come to find out with his ex who was not attractive. It really was a kick to the ego I guess.

    I wish I would have reacted less and if I could go back and change it I would.

    Oh wow OP, you really burned me. Guess I'll go cry about it to Avril Levine and write in my password journal. Maybe when I get un-engaged, dye my hair brown, and find some other *kitten* boyfriend I'll be sure to use a clever demeaning retort just because someone didn't want to be with me anymore and I couldn't deal so I can be a real adult just like you. <3

    And yes, it's pink. You can tell your colors right?

    O_O

    I see mean people

    I've only been dumped once (I'm usually the dumper). I was 18. He was my first love.

    I said: Okay. Sure.

    He gave me a load of poetry books from his mother... WEIRD. Why give me family heirlooms when you're breaking up with me?

    Then I went home and cried for days. When I was done crying I picked myself up, dusted myself off... ran into him downtown and couldn't remember what his name was. Oh yeah. I purged baby. I purged so well I forgot the name of my first love. Sometimes I scare myself.

    Sorry, that was for the picture. I didn't realize that the reply on this board system was not setup like others that automatically quote the previous statement
