You're broken hearted. Sigh. I sympathize, I really do. You've just broken up with someone you really liked, maybe even loved, and you're bummed. As events go, this rates about as high on the emotion meter as your dog dying and losing your fabulous job. There is light at the end of the tunnel and you will usually get there. It's a bit of a journey, so take your friends, a bottle of vodka and a large cheesecake on the journey.
Notice I said "most of the time"? That's because in everyone's life there is one sad sack for whom we carry a torch forever. It's unfortunate, but that's life. However, in this particular case, you're too smart, sexy and all around awesome to mope for long, right? You'll know the grieving process is coming to an end when you experience one or more of the following;
1. You hardly ever think to check for his car when you drive past his work these days. And the only reason you drive past his work is because it's on the most direct route to your parent's house. No need to go the long way around after all!
2. You say "no" instead of "I just broke up with someone" when a cute stranger asks you if you're involved with someone.
3. It was his dad's birthday last Tuesday and you only just now remembered, and it's Friday.
4. You have a new cell phone number and it didn't even occur to you to give it to him.
5. While out on a date you have to trouble not talking about your ex. His/her name hasn't even crossed your lips.
6. The last time the two of you went out together, you went to an out of the way country store that you both like and he bought you a scarf. Now, it's just "your favorite scarf" and nothing more.
7. You don't always "swear" you see him whenever you're out.
8. When you were together you would automatically read his horoscope right after reading your own. Now yours is the only one of interest.
9. You don't immediately (or at all) check his Facebook for pictures of him and new girls. Because you've "unfriended" him.
10. You've started comparing new guys against your own standards rather than comparing them to your ex. - 32510
