How can I tell them that I am just not ready?
Six months ago, my boyfriend and I broke up. We’d been together five years already so it was a real heartbreak to realise that we were no longer in love. We agreed that we’re better off as friends. Now all my girlfriends are encouraging me to move on and start dating. They’ve even lined up guys for me already. I know they mean well but how can I tell them that I am just not ready? I still feel so heartbroken and I don’t think I can pretend not to be. One of my
friends says I’m just being dramatic. Another one says the best way to recover is just to start dating again. But try as I might, I just can’t seem to get out of this funk. Every day, I feel worse and worse. Will this cloud ever lift?
answer:
Yes, it will! We’ve all had our hearts broken and quite simply, it sucks. Some people feel the best way to get over it is to get right back on the horse, but that doesn’t mean it’s necessarily right for you. We deal with breakups in our own ways. If you don’t want to date, then don’t. If your friend calls you dramatic, tell her where to go. It’s a very hard time so you need to nurture yourself. That means doing what’s best for you. Try to rest as much as you can, spend time with good friends, and have fun when you can. And do make sure you always look your best — don’t let yourself go even if vanity’s the last thing on your mind now because one day you will wake up and feel ready for the next man. Believe me, darling, it will get better.
