on - one time with him . this will give you a chance to get flirty in order to gain his attention . if youre nervous , go to a big social event and spend some time alone with him there . for example , ask him to a party and then find a cozy corner where the two of you can chat . you can also try to hang out one - on - one in casual settings . for example , grab a cup of coffee together after school . if youre having trouble getting a guy to notice you , try touching him whenever possible . this can help him think of you in a more romantic sense . for example , when youre having coffee together , try brushing his arm slightly when youre talking . lean into him a little while youre watching a movie together . do something flirty and playful , like tussling his hair . hug him on occasion . a cozy hug once in awhile can eventually lead to more . many people feel more comfortable transitioning into dating gradually . try asking him what hes doing this weekend and , when he responds , suggest something the two of you could do together instead . for example , bowling sounds fun this weekend , but i have tickets to this concert if you want to go with me . try asking him for advice on somewhere to go , and then ask him to go with you . for example , say where do you get good pizza in this town when he answers , say something like , oh , cool . hey , since you like that place , maybe we could go together . if hes not getting the hint , dont be afraid to make the first move many guys actually appreciate when a potential romantic partner makes the move for them . guys are shy too , so dont be afraid to make the first move . remember , this guy is your friend . this can help take some pressure off . a friend is more likely to be polite and let you down easy , as well . when asking him out , go at your own pace . rushing through things can make you look nervous , making you both feel anxious in the situation . you want to start things off in a good place , so slowly work your way up to asking him out when the time comes . do not rush through your words . when the two of you do interact one - on - one , allow conversation to happen naturally for a bit before making your move . if youre feeling nervous , take a few deep breaths to calm yourself . if indirect invitations arent working , its time to be bold about your feelings . simply say something like , so , i feel a strong romantic connection with you . would you like to go out on a date some time you want to proceed with your relationship , friendship or otherwise , with no confusion . while this may feel very bold , many people appreciate it when youre straightforward . you can also emphasize how important his friendship is to you . you could say something like , i really do love being your friend and if you arent into me in a romantic way , i just want you to know that i am happy with just being friends . nothing about our friendship will change . i want to continue having fun with you and being your friend . even if youve done everything right , theres still a chance your guy friend just wont see you in that way . remember this hurt will fade with time . while it seems like the end of the world now , you will eventually get over these feelings . everyone gets rejected at some point , so dont let it affect your confidence . besides , even if he doesnt feel romantically about you now , that doesnt mean hell always feel that way . stay positive no matter what happens , it doesnt reflect negatively on you as a person . you are awesome , with or without him
come up with a whole story line and stick with it . tell this whole story through and through , and again , dont be nervous . if someone asks how you kissed , dont say making out or tongues , but details on how you moved your tongues . try to avoid the setting your friend , you , and your crush were both in . if you want to be extra convincing , make a video that you were supposed to make about something else and then be tripped by him make it quick so its convincing and make all kinds of kissing sounds .

dont change things around otherwise people wont believe you . putting in details will make it more convincing also . youll have to make this up . usually people would be very loud when seeing people kiss , or you could even hear them kiss , so it may be less convincing . try picking a place you know you and your crush like , or a hangout place . make sure it matches your story .
again , come up with a whole story , and stick with it . if you know how to write like your crush , write a note in his hand writing saying , will you go out with me , your name , if you prefer , tell a story if you really do have each others phone numbers . if you have an iphone , there are websites where you can make fake text messages . now come up with casual stories about dates and youre good to go

dont change things around otherwise it wont be confusing . or something like that . this will be so convincing . say that he called you to ask you out , and if you can , show your call history , and make it seem like he called you at those times to ask you out and you know it was only to have a casual conversation really . you can do all kinds of settings to make it look like you really did text each other . make believe he texted , will you go out with me and you replying , yes .   you might want to avoid the banners that may appear on the pictures too that show where the picture was made from . that would be a dead giveaway .
all good relationships must come to an end . try to find days you know youll be absent right after those days to tell your friends you two broke up . act sad when you tell them the news , or even command yourself to cry . remember there is someone out there you wont have to lie about .

notice the telltale sign of butterflies in your stomach . notice your inability to concentrate . recognize those dreams of a future together . consider whether you think about him or her every minute of every day . notice your daydreaming . note how music leaves you feeling . consider how easy it is for you to stay put . think about how it feels when youre apart . consider if suddenly you seem to care about what he or she thinks of you . think about how you feel when together .
how to know if youre falling for your best friend
the next time you see your best friend , note whether you feel tingly inside . when he or she talks to you , the words in your mind get tangled up in a huge knot and you dont know what to say . you try your best to get those words out of your mouth but it ends up that you just cant bring yourself to . if talking just became a huge challenge for you , it may be a sign youre falling in love . when you go somewhere and get bored . or , if you have extra time and feel like it , you take out your binder and a piece of paper and a few colored pencils and start doodling his or her name on the paper you brought out . you do this to make yourself feel that feeling , that feeling of love and a crush . when youre asleep at night , you dream of you and him or her living a carefree and happy life together . maybe you even dream about a honeymoon . sometimes you get this one dream where he or she asks you out , and you say yes , and until you wake up you feel that that dream is real––you never want it to end . if you try to stop it , you just cant . he or she has altered your mind somehow and you cant get him or her out of there , everywhere you go and anytime of the day thats all your imagination has in store for you , more of him or her . you sit down for a while and start writing , until you run out of ideas and you start to daydream about himher and you like it . until the point when someone snaps you out of it and you go back to reality . your daydreams seem timeless and you imagine that you and him or her are the only two people in the world . you start listening to slow love songs , and those songs explain a sweet love story and strangely remind you of him or her . then it becomes your favorite type of music for a long while . you listen to those songs again and again and you just cant get enough , pretty soon youll know every single one of the lyrics . if youre falling in love , youll likely find that you just cant settle down and you find yourself wanting more and more of him or her . maybe your friends also notice youve been acting strange lately . somehow you seem to be getting a little bit clumsy––you start getting clumsy because he or she is the only thing that seems to go around in your mind and nothing else . if you find you miss him or her at all times , its likely to be falling in love . you are hungry to meet up again , often . you find most happiness when youre both together , not apart . you just cant wait to hang out together again . more than before that is . this is an indicator of growing love . if you feel that you dont have to have a kind of mask around him or her and you feel like you can be yourself and express thoughts and feelings openly , things are off to a great and healthy start
pretty yourself up , flirt , flirt , flirt , talk about things you both like and throw in some jokes . be yourself . just come out and say it .
how to go from friend to girlfriend
your guy friend will notice the extra time you spend to look nice when youre around him and will appreciate it . all you need to do is do your hair in a pretty way straightened , curled , braided , etc . and put on some makeup . be careful not to put on too much makeup dont go overboard and look easy . if you need help with makeup , ask a friend , older sistercousin , or look up makeup guides on youtube . also , wear some cute clothes that you love and feel confident and beautiful in . try to make them a little form - fitting , but again , dont go overboard . he will never know that you want to be more than friends if you dont act like you want to be more than friends twirl your hair or play with his hair and dont forget to smile and laugh . dont act like an airhead , though be smart and confident . never play hard to get it will confuse him . just be a flirtier version of yourself . dont be afraid to talk to him hes your guy friend , isnt he talk to him about the usual stuff and throw in some humor here and there . try to see how he reacts when you ask to make plans to go see a movie or something . if youre not yourself , he will be more confused than ever . dont change who you were when you were just his friend whos a girl . be who you are , otherwise he wont get to know the real you dont make everything youve worked for with him a lie . ask him if he likes you , or tell him you like him . this might not be a great idea , but if you believe that all the signs are there , then go for it . if you dont say anything , youll always wonder what if i had told him that i liked him . dont regret not doing anything . if you take that leap of faith and he doesnt like you back , move on and ask him to try to stay friends . dont let it become awkward . dont let it get you down if he cant appreciate the real you then thats his loss and you dont need that .
minimize contact . put away items that remind you of the person . discuss how much time the two of you wont be in contact for one another . if either of you decides to date someone new , and you do want to maintain a friendship with them , then let them know what is happening . despite your best efforts , you may find that a friendship isnt possible for months , or possibly ever again .
how to go from dating to being friends again
after the breakup it is necessary to minimize contact for awhile . this does not mean that you should completely ignore the person , as it will lead to hurt feelings . instead try to create some space and time , so you both can heal . but if something not break up related comes up , feel free to share it with them . this way you are maintaining a dynamic without the intensity . if that is not possible , try to attach a positive emotion to it , but instead of a romantic one , try to think of it as something a friend or family member would have given you . this will also help with shifting your feelings for the person . take some time for yourself to go through both the good and the bad moments together . really decide if this person is someone who you want to be friends with . if you truly feel that you do want to be only friends , then you should re - establish contact again . during this time work on yourself too and do things that make you happy . it is important to find a time frame that works for both of you . when that time is up , make contact with the other person decide who will contact whom , and carefully ask them how they are doing . if either of you needs more time , then give it . dont let them find out from someone else , because that will definitely be the end of the friendship . but you must also realize that just because you were friends before , you can not discuss the details of your new relationship with them , as it would hurt too much . you may find you will never be able to do this again without jealousy coming from one of you . it takes time to heal , so keep that in mind . all you can do is be patient . but you may find that you have both grown apart , or dont have anything left to give . if that the case , then that is okay . just remember the good times , what youve learned , and move on . sometimes the best thing really is to let go , and let other opportunities come your way .

how to make your girlfriend jealous
jealousy is natural and often something that we cannot control . if you choose to make your girlfriend jealous , understand that you may unearth some feelings that she is not ready to deal with like insecurity or shame . jealousy stems from being self - critical . be careful how you choose to make your girlfriend jealous because she might already have an unhealthy perception of herself . your girlfriend may have experienced damaging relationships in the past but be too ashamed to tell anyone or she might have consciously moved past it however , subconsciously , she still may suffer from its negative effects . shame can influence how jealous and insecure your girlfriend will become so avoid exploiting her innermost sensitivities . do not open old wounds . if she has shared something intimate with you , you will damage your relationship by using it against her . whether youre trying to make her jealous to reignite your relationship or as a playful prank , learn what will trigger her jealousy . the attention you pay her will not only allow you to learn how to make her jealous but it will also create a bond . consequently , be aware that the stronger your bond the more toxic jealousy can become . some people are more sensitive than others so be aware of what triggers will push her too far . for example , some girls may find playful flirting with strangers amusing while others may find it very disrespectful and will end a relationship over it . tread lightly . dont go too far with this charade . ask yourself what youre hoping to achieve by making your girlfriend jealous . evaluate what your relationship means to you and proceed with caution if you think that jealousy is the best course of action . relationships can be fragile if you introduce elements that can easily play on your girlfriends psyche . no matter how open - minded she says she is , its easy to play up her paranoia with logic . for example , keeping a relationship with an ex may easily bring about jealousy . if she says that she does not want you to interact with someone , do not use this against her . her paranoia is already at high alert so breaking your promise will do irreversible damage . avoid using an ex to make her jealous . knowing that you already have had a romantic relationship makes it easy to believe you can rekindle it at any moment . do not mention high profile friends . whether you have mutual friends that are on tv , play professional sports , or have high paying jobs , their social status makes them an alluring romantic pursuit . your girlfriend may easily become jealous if you show too much favor to a high profile friend . make plans to watch sports or hit the bar with your buddies . make your girlfriend jealous by showing her that you have a healthy social life . dont make her feel like a burden or that she isnt fun to be around . this is just meant to show her that you are fun to be around . like a photo or leave fun comments to friends that you know she will see . social media can be open to interpretation . your girlfriend may easily become jealous if your social media is littered with likes towards other women . it can also be filled with inside jokes or photos of experiences that she was not there for . your job can be an easy source of jealousy because you probably can spend a lot of time at work and justify it as ambition . be careful if she becomes jealous of your relationship with a coworker because her paranoia may end up costing you your job if she begins asking other coworkers about the two of you . worse yet , your girlfriend may reach out to your coworkers husband or boyfriend and you could ruin your coworkers relationship unintentionally . whether you increase your social media interactions or invite them out to activities , your girlfriend may become jealous if your interest in her friends suddenly increases . this is especially effective if the friend you choose is single or has complimented you in the past . be careful if you get too close to her best friend as it may cause deep emotional damage . learn the dynamics she has with her friends so as not to open up deeper issues . one of her friends may have a history of stealing men . compliment celebrities on tv or strangers within your line of sight . your girlfriend may become jealous because she may automatically compare herself to that person . celebrities are an especially easy target as the media is obsessed with body image and managing persona . while it is perfectly acceptable to interact with any gender , your girlfriend may become jealous if your interactions play on her insecurities . only you will know what is appropriate and what will make her jealous . some women dont mind if playfully touching and joking with a waitress while your girlfriend may become jealous if you smile at your server the wrong way . invite a mutual female friend with you to an activity that normally only you and your girlfriend do together . be cautious not to make this an obvious wedge but rather a harmless afterthought . say something like , i invited julia hiking tomorrow . she said she hasnt been to eagles canyon so i told her wed pick her up if she wanted to join us . this shows that you have been paying attention to other women without being immature or obvious .

how to stop treating your boyfriend like a crush
this is the first part of allowing yourself to be the partner and not the crush for your boyfriend––acknowledging that the fantasy phase of the chase has ended and the reality phase of coming together and forming a relationship is now truly underway . also accept that making a good relationship requires effort––it doesnt just happen . when put to the test during actual dating , your ideal of what you dreamed him to be and the person he really is may conflict . realize this when it happens and learn to respect and love the person he actually is , rather than the one youd imagined he be . this can be a weird stage in your relationship but its vital that you can tell the difference between your preferences and the reality of the person youre now dating , so that you dont have too unrealistic expectations . if you keep it under wraps for too long , itll feel like youre still crushing , keeping things to yourself . it will become fairly obvious to people that youre acting differently and in time , people will see the two of you together , so it is important to decide with each other early on that youll announce to others that youre dating . this definitely shifts things out of the crush zone . this means letting down your guard and letting him see the real you , not just flirty you . having a crush on somebody usually means flirting with them , and giving subtle signs of your interest . try being more open about your feelings . now that youre a couple , there should be no need to hide how you feel . if you do feel the need to hide aspects of yourself , this is a warning sign that the relationship isnt good for you . show him some love in front of people . try to hug each other whenever you see each other , or just have him hold you in his arms when you guys are hanging out . dont keep your feelings limited , you not crushing anymore . do the small things that show him that you care about him , such as noticing when hes down and trying to cheer him up , being someone he can talk to without judgment and helping it out when he has a problem . make it clear to him that hes not replaceable . support him in his endeavors . turn up to his sports matches and cheer him on . clap loudly if he receives an award at school . tell others about his achievements . thats what a relationship is largely about , enjoying each others company . keep up your own interests and activities , be involved in your schoolwork and stay in touch with your friends . your relationship with your boyfriend is an important part of your life but it isnt all of your life and the best thing you can do for your relationship is to continue cultivating all those things that make you unique and strong .

observe her body position when she is with you . study her eye contact . notice how much she touches you . keep track of how often she cancels plans or is too busy to go out . notice the type of dates she wants to have . pay attention to how she behaves with you in social gatherings like a party . take notice how often she calls or texts . pay attention to how she talks to other guys . listen to what she says about other guys . see if she gets jealous . notice what kind of fights you have with her . ask her how she feels about your relationship . listen actively when she is talking . make changes based on the conversation .
how to know if she doesnt like you anymore
a closed body position is one where her body is pointing away from you , her arms are crossed , or she is hunched over to take up less space . closing her body position sends signals that she is uncomfortable or nervous about something . if she is doing this consistently in a relationship , it may be a sign shes not that into you . if your girlfriend used to stand close to you with her arms down or on her hips , but now she turns away and crosses her arms when you talk , she is telling you that she isnt interested in talking anymore . if she conveys closed body language every time you are together , it is probably time to rethink your relationship because she might be wanting to end it . eye contact is an important factor in body language and can convey a persons emotions . if your girlfriend keeps her eyes locked onto yours while you talk then no problem , but if you find her avoiding eye contact , something may be wrong . if she darts her eyes around , looking at many different things while you talk to her , it might also be a sign that she isnt enjoying the conversation or being with you . physical touch is one way that girls use to flirt with and show interest in a guy . things like putting her hand on your chest , holding your hand , or brushing her fingers through your hair all show that she is interested in you . if your relationship started with a lot of physical touch from you , but now she hardly gives any at all , it could be time to talk to her about where the relationship is going . a change in the amount of public displays of affection , like holding hands , can also be a warning sign . when a girl isnt interested in a guy anymore , she might stop touching him all together and go out of her way to avoid any sort of physical touch . cancelling plans is a red flag that something may be wrong . while circumstances often occur with valid reasons to miss a date , if it happens more than 50 of dates , youre in the danger zone . when a girl starts to repetitively cancel plans or is always busy , she is sending a clear message . a girl that is interested in you will make herself available and want to spend time with you , so if you find your girlfriend constantly ditching plans , take it as a sign . if you see a pattern of canceled dates or if she constantly has other plans it is time to sit her down for a heart to heart . if she is always inviting friends to meet up with on your dates or suggesting group or double dates , this could be a sign that she doesnt like being alone with you anymore . if she is constantly leaving in one room to go talk to another group of people this might be a sign that she doesnt enjoy spending time with you anymore . likewise , going to parties and social gatherings without inviting you is also a sign that something might be wrong with your relationship . girls like to talk , so if your girlfriend is calling or texting a lot less than she did in the beginning of the relationship then consider it a warning . if you are constantly the one making the calls or sending the texts first , it might mean she is beginning to lose interest in you . if your girlfriend is checking out or flirting with other guys in front of you , she is probably looking to get out of the relationship . if she talks about other guys more than she mentions other girls , or if she consistently compares you to other guys , it might be a sign that shes ready to end things . she could be friendly to everyone , but if it comes on suddenly , there are many examples of comments that should raise a flagthat guy in my math class is so smart i bet he would be a good tutor for me or i met this guy at the gym yesterday and he was lifting 150 pounds he couldve lifted me the new guy is kinda cute i wonder where hes from . girls will naturally get a little jealous if you flirt with or check out another girl in front of her . she may also get mad , and this could easily lead to unnecessary confrontation , or push her away . if your girlfriend doesnt care that you are flirting with the waitress on your date then you might want to reconsider your relationship . try flirting with or being overly friendly to other girls on a date to see how your girlfriend reacts . fights are bound to happen in all relationships , but if they start occurring more frequently , there might be a problem . if arguments over little things start to become big blow - outs every time , you should take some time to evaluate your relationship . she may be starting to lose interest in you romantically . the best way to have a good relationship is to be honest . ask her openly how she feels , and be willing to work through any problems if you want to stay together . give her your full attention , and participate in the conversation . rephrase what she says and repeat it back to show you understand just to be sure i understand , youre saying . allow her to speak without interrupting or arguing . ask questions to clarify and elaborate on what she is saying . through honest communication you can discover the root of a problem if one exists . once shes shared her feelings youll be able to determine how to move forward in your relationship . there may be nothing wrong and youre overthinking things . if she is ready for things to end , bringing up the problems may make it easier to handle . if shes upset and you want things to work , youll know what you need to change to keep her happy .

how to be good at conversations with your crush
since theyre your crush , you probably have a general idea of their schedule . think about when youll see them in class , in the hall , or during free periods . figure out a time when you know youll be around them and will have time to strike up a conversation . use common sense and change your plans if you need to . if you planned to talk to them at recess but see them cramming for a test or having a heated discussion with a friend , postpone your chat . you dont want to force them into a conversation when theyre busy . a nice , hey whats up works as a conversation starter in almost any situation . its an informal way to start the conversation , rather than launching into a pre - planned spiel . additionally , your crush might let you know if it is a good time to talk or not . if they say , im just in a hurry to meet someone at the library then you know it might not be a great time . it may sound silly , but using your crushs name can induce some warm fuzzy feelings right off the bat . saying , hey , brad sounds much more personal than hey if you cant make whats up flow off the tongue naturally , open with anything that feels natural to you . you can say something like , are you excited for class today , did you watch the new episode last night , or anything else that can smoothly start a conversation . it doesnt have to be anything major , but its an easy way to get in their good graces right from the start and hopefully launch into a full -

present reminder of them , either . if youre reluctant to delete their information entirely , consider writing it on a piece of paper that you wont see every day and store it in a safe place . email copies of their text messages and then archive them if you arent ready to completely delete them . remember that even if you delete your contact , they may not delete you . if they contacts you , you can either not respond or choose to send a brief , polite response . the large number of social media sites , such as facebook and instagram , means increased accessibility to people , even those with whom you dont necessarily want to be in contact . by removing your crushs presence from your social media accounts , you can further limit the amount of contact you have with them . if youre concerned that you might hurt your crush or leave others questioning your motives by unfollowing or defriending them on social media sites , find a way to minimize what you see on these apps . for example , on facebook you can simply unsubscribe from their posts , which will make sure that you dont get status updates . its natural when you have a crush on someone to talk about them and to think about them a lot , but this will only reinforce your feelings . consciously not mentioning them in conversations and actively shifting your thoughts when you do think about them will help you get over them more quickly . it may be difficult to not mention them in conversations , especially if you have mutual friends , so try to not talk about them or ask how they are too often . you can also step away from conversations about them . if you need to talk about them to process your thoughts and feelings , do so but dont make it a regular habit . if your friends know that you have feelings for your crush , they may occasionally mention them . this will only remind you of them and may hinder your ability to get over them , so ask your friends to not bring them up or update you if possible . there will likely be situations , especially in groups with mutual friends , where your crushs name is brought up . in order get over them more quickly , step away from these groups until theyve moved on to a new topic of conversation . you and your crush may have many things in common , including friends , classes or workplaces , or favorite places . avoid situations where you run the risk of seeing them . if you take classes together or work in the same place , dont sit near them . if they sit next to you , you can also find a way to relocate or decide to keep it cordial . also do not engage in eye contact with them . then it could make things awkward or spark a unwanted conversation . if you like the same restaurants , for example , try out new places to eat . getting rid of any reminders of them that you may have will help you get over your crush . youll want to remove traces of them from everything from your phone and social media to photographs and other mementos in your home . you can either take a gradual or cold - turkey approach to removing them from your life . it might be emotionally easier for you to remove reminders of them bit by bit , or you can also get rid of traces of them all at once . doing this at all once will be very difficult , but can speed up the process of getting over your crush . delete emails or get rid of letters , cards , or presents from your crush . holding on to these things make you hold on to your feelings for them . delete any photos of them or the two of you together . getting over your crush is a painful process and its completely acceptable to grieve over the relationship you had . but its also important to not get mad at your crush in the process -

how to ask your crush to the dance
asking your crush to a dance can be nerve - racking , but knowing you have a good shot of them saying yes will go a long way to boosting your confidence . to figure out how interested they are , pay close attention to how they act around you . for example , do they frequently initiate conversation or seek you out in crowds if your crush is consistently going out of their way to speak with you or to be near you , its likely theyre attempting to convey their interests . if they make note of the things that interest you to bring back up later in conversation , thats also a good sign they may like you . if youre still unsure , try getting your friends to gauge your crushs interest . you dont want them to directly ask himher outright , but they can fish for information by bringing you up in conversation and then seeing what your crush says or how they react . keep in mind that if your crush is shy , they may be extra awkward and quiet around you , so you may have to drop hints to help them open up . once youve got a good idea of how your crush feels , its time to reciprocate . you want to let your crush know that youre interested and open to any potential advances . the best way to do this is to talk to them as frequently as you can . this may seem a bit awkward , especially if youre constantly nervous around them , but there are a bunch of easy conversation starters you can try . for example , compliment your crush every now and again when you see them . this can be anything from , that sweater looks really good on you , to did you get a haircut your hair looks really nice today . just remember not to go over the top or try to force it . you can also ask about their interests . for example , if your crush plays sports or is a big gamer , try to ask them questions about their favorite sports teams or an upcoming game release you know theyre excited about . you can also get involved in some of the activities that they enjoy , like going to concerts of bands they like . just make sure you are staying true to your own likes , you dont want to change yourself just to get your crush interested . if you and your crush talk frequently or have at least started to , try talking about the dance in general . you dont have to say anything about going together , but simply talking about the dance will introduce the idea and make it less awkward later when you ask them out . it will also let them know youre interested in going . try talking about the theme of the dance , who is going , or what music you think theyll play . for example , you could say something like i heard jerry and jess are trying to get a group together to take a trolley to the dance instead of a limo . how much do you think thatll cost or do you think the dj will take requests i want to dance to beyonce . talking about the dance will also give you a good idea of whether or not your crush plans to go to the dance . this is the simplest method , even if it is usually the most stressful . to make the situation easier on both you and your crush , try to ask them when youre both alone . for example , between classes , on the bus , or at lunch if you get a minute to yourselves . not having a bunch of people or friends around will make you both more comfortable . make it simple , to start , say something like hey , could i speak to you a moment then , once the two of you are alone ask , i was wondering if youd like to go to the dance with me if youre nervous , try practicing the conversation with a friend beforehand . whether you and your crush talk frequently or not , texting is a great way to communicate without the extra stress of speaking in person . you can take your time and revise what you want to say multiple times . try inserting the question into a normal conversation by building up to it . for example , try talking about school or homework , then lead into the upcoming dance , and eventually ask them if theyd like to go with you . for example , text a simple , so , are you planning to go to the dance or so , do you have a date for the dance yet if your crush says no , then ask , would you like to go with me if your crush plans to go with friends , ask if theyll at least save you dance . another easy , relatively stress - free way to ask your crush to the dance is to leave them a note . if youre feeling bold , you can pass them one in class for an immediate response . however , if youre feeling a bit shyer , simply slip a note asking if theyd like to go with you into their locker . you can even leave directions on the note like , circle y or n and slip this back into my locker by the end of the day . if not , you may have to approach your crush directly for an answer . if you want to make a bit more of an impression , try making some sweet treats for your crush . find out their favorite cookie or cupcake and make them a bunch . you can spell out d a n c e  on top of the cupcakes in frosting . for something more subtle , hand out cupcakes or cookies to all your friends - girls and guys alike - and give your crush a special one with dance written on it . if your crush doesnt like sweets , try doing this with a pizza . if youve got the downtime in class or a study hall , rope your crush into a game of hangman . when its your turn to come up with a word or phrase , mark out spaces for either d a n c e  or will you go to the dance with me then simply hold tight as you wait for your crush to figure it out . you can try this tactic with other games like pictionary or scrabble , too . this might take a little bit more work , but shouldnt be too expensive . you can buy a big thing of fortune cookies online for around 10 . simply change out the fortune in one and then make sure to give it to your crush when youre handing them out to friends or classmates . just make sure that your crush actually opens it and doesnt give it to someone else this is a great idea if you and your crush have similar tastes in music . try putting together a bunch of songs you think your crush would like and write a message for them on the inside of the cd case . you dont need to write anything long , just would you like to go to the dance with me you could also just write go to the dance with me directly on the cd . another cute idea is to put a note asking them to the dance in a bottle or mason jar . you can then fill this jar with candies like jelly beans , mms , sour patch kids , or any other sweet they like . just make sure that your note is big enough to be found and not get lost amongst the candy .
ask him why hes interested in you . watch how they act when they tell you why theyre interested in you . if he is a really genuine person imagine you are in his shoes . calmly and gently say that you are really sorry , but you dont see him in that way . apologize for leading him on or giving him signs , even if you didnt notice or mean to . wait for his reply . change the subject , where possible , and try to act like it hasnt happened . imagine you are the boy . it probably took a good while for him to build up the courage to ask you out . you can always tell him that you are flattered that he asked you out , but that youre not interested in pursuing something romantic with him .
how to turn down a boy when he asks you out
there are boys in this world who just want you for your beauty , and body or because they want to be well known . not because youre kind or smart or independent or brave or strong or courageous and etc . if its all for the wrong reasons then politely tell him youre not interested in being in a relationship with them . some may act nervous and fidgety because theyre lying or because they feel like theyre a stalker for noticing all this . if they laugh and act like its a joke then its probably because theyre not serious or they think its romantic . you can usually tell the difference . you cant really say no and not hurt him , but if you do it gently you can remain friends . explain that you prefer him more as just a friendif he was a friend , but you are flattered . , hopefully , he will react well and ask if you can still be friends , or something like that . if his reaction is sadness , try to console him and tell him that you are always there as a friend - but avoid physical contact as this could exasperate him further . if his reaction is anger and he gets violent or aggressive , just give him a sympathetic look and say im sorry and walk away from him as causally and as fast as you can . or if youre lucky and a friend happens to near by call them out and start a conversation and act really interested with while leaving him like your friend is telling you something very interesting and amusing . probably talk about all the things you look for in a guy and what you dont like . and if you want to avoid him asking you out for a whileor ever just causally say im not really interested in going out right now . i would like to just be friends first before taking things up a notch or just simply im not interested in going out right now . ,

how to be a secret admirer on valentines day
this is the easiest and most personal way to make contact with your crush as their secret admirer . you can either buy stationary or create your own personalized card that will contain your romantic message . the first time you contact your crush as their secret admirer , you want to make it clear what your purpose is . pick out a valentines day card or when making your own use reds and pinks to accentuate the romantic theme . write clearly and to the point . explain in your own words how you think theyre fantastic and why you admire them so much . dont talk about yourself . this is their time to shine and youre making that happen by telling them why you think theyre so special . dont simply say i like your hair or other generic platitudes . you want to be sincere , unique , and specific . even your handwriting is an detail that might give away your identity . for example , if you sit beside them in class or in meetings , they may know what your penmanship looks like . since youre writing a love note , go ahead and also take the time to make your script elegant and legible . if you normally write in print , then try writing in cursive . or vice versa if you usually write everything in cursive . if youre worried that your handwriting is illegible and your message will be lost , then use a computer to type your message and pick a fun font . make sure that their name is visible on the card . that way , if the card is delivered in error theres a better chance it will make its way back to your crush . you dont want to send a heartfelt note and then find out that they never received it . obviously you dont want to use your real name . instead , pick a fun pseudonym like the classic secret admirer or your valentines day cupid . make sure you are comfortable with revealing yourself to your crush if you want to use your real name . if you use your real name then youre only an admirer and not a secret one . depending on your research , your crush may prefer daffodils to roses , or maybe they love chocolate chip cookies and that would be a perfect surprise on a tough monday morning . determine what you could give them to make their day a little brighter and attach your card . dont get too personal . jewelry , lingerie , expensive items , or photos are better for when youre dating this person , not when youre trying to get a relationship started . this is the trickiest part of being a secret admirer . you need to get your card or gift to this person without them knowing it was you . sneak notes in their locker , gym bag , car window , or mailbox . pick a location that your crush frequents regularly so that they see it . you could also enlist a friend to be the deliverer . the more anonymous you can be the better . timing is everything . you can either start leaving notes and gifts for your crush leading up to valentines day or you could use the whole holiday to lavish them with gifts and messages throughout the day . if you choose to start wooing your crush before v - day , keep your displays of affection to one a day so that you dont spook your crush . you dont just have to give physical gifts to your crush . for example , if you know theyll be occupied all day , you could wash their car and leave a small note on the windshield from their secret admirer . if you know this person well , you can find out what their needs are and help them out . instead of giving a gift or as a way to deliver a gift or card , you could create a scavenger hunt for them on valentines day . this method is also a great way to lead your crush to you on the big day . start by slipping your crush a note with the first clue . write clues that arent so vague that they cant figure them out and leave them in relatively nearby places . you dont want your crush running town all day so try and keep things within your school or neighborhood . with each clue , leave a small gift like a flowers or chocolates . leave the biggest gift or most personal gesture for the end . their excitement will build during the hunt and you want to save the biggest surprise for the grand finale . you want to pique your crushs curiosity just a little bit . for example , in a note you could say that you love seeing them at the same coffee shop you go to every morning , or that you loved their presentation in class the other day . unless you want to string your crush along forever , you need to be brave and tell them who you are . at some point theyre going to want to know who is responsible for all of the sweet things youve done for them . choose a convenient time for both you and your crush . for example , plan on meeting them after their last class of the day for the big reveal . listen to what theyve been saying about their secret admirer . if it sounds like theyre excited to find out who it is , then its time to reveal yourself . if they dont seem interested , you may want to stop . you cant control another persons feelings and you should be respectful if theyre feeling creeped out . coffee shops , parks , and restaurants are all good starts because there will be people around but not so many that you wont have privacy . remember , you dont want to scare your crush away so pick somewhere relaxing . a bench in a park can be a beautiful setting , but a dark movie theatre will make you seem like a stalker and not an admirer . you could write a note that says something like ill be wearing a red shirt and sunglasses . even though youre trying to convey an air of mystery , you need to be clear in your directions so that your crush can actually identify you . if youre already involved in this persons life , they may recognize you . however , this is your moment to show them that youre their mysterious and sweet admirer . after the big reveal , follow up by asking them on an official date so that you can continue to get to know each other . chances are , you know this person a little bit already . you probably have a few reason already as to why you admire them . however , you will need to know a few more details in order to do things for them and not get caught . if you dont know your crush too well , survey the people who are close to them . you can either ask innocent questions in a conversation or ask them outright what your crush likes and dislikes , or what their class schedule looks like . be careful when talking with friends and family or your crush . if your crush starts to ask around trying to find out your identity , a friend might accidentally slip up . for example , they could comment that youve been asking about your crush a lot and then your cover would be blown . it may be better to tell the people youre surveying that youre going to be your crushs secret admirer if you think they can keep a secret . that way , you have someone on the inside who can help you out . you shouldnt know when they brush their teeth every day , but its good to know if theyre busy in gym class or in a meeting . that way you can plan when youre going to leave little surprises for them without being seen or getting caught . in other words , dont be creepy . if you need to do a little research to find out their favorite candy , thats fine . but dont dig so deep that you find out their shoe size and their pets name . do some preliminary research so that you can deliver them heartfelt notes , but you should really get to know them personally once you reveal your identity . decide what your end goal is . if you want to go on a date with this person on valentines day , then you need to start wooing them a few weeks before . or if you want to just surprise them for one day , you can create a more elaborate , one - time plan . for instance , you could have your crush go on a day - long scavenger hunt on valentines day that leads up to them meeting you that evening for a date .
be polite when you hear the guys request . avoid interrupting .
how to tell a guy you arent interested in a relationship 1
you are being treated with respect by the man who is asking you out , as he values you enough to want to form a more intimate relationship with him . so , be sure to return that respect . listen carefully and look attentive as he explains his wishes . smile and nod if its appropriate to do so , but wait him out . when he finishes and makes it clear that he is waiting for a reply , offer your reasons for turning him down .
avoid coming out with just a no . reject his advance with a compliment . try not to make it to embarrassing for him . make it seem as if anybody who asked you out right now would not succeed . keep it short and sweet .
how to tell a guy you arent interested in a relationship 2
this is harsh sounding and puts an end to the connection . while you dont wish to date this guy or get on intimate terms with him , it still remains important to respect his dignity and let him down gently . begin by explaining that youre flattered by his interest in you and that it is very kind of him to ask . however , youll also need to explain your lack of interest in general terms , without suggesting that there is anything wrong with him . for example , you might say something along these lines thats nice of you to ask but right now im still looking for the right guy . thank you for your attention , thats so sweet and i am really flattered . the trouble is , im just not interested in dating anybody at the moment . but it was so kind of you to ask . avoid laughing or using jokes as a way of negating what he has just asked you . make it clear that youve appreciated the effort and his courage but thats the end of it no need to rub salt into the wound . if you do wish to make humor , use the self - deprecating sort that rebounds on you , not on him or anybody else . and dont overdo it , or itll look as if youre trying too hard . if possible , tell him that your current focus is absolutely on your career , your new business start - up , your university exams , your overseas trip , whatever . this way , it doesnt feel like a personal rejection but is simply an outcome of a broader reality that youre just too wed to something else . its not your place to butter up his ego but its always a nice thing to offer a soft letdown to anyone who receives rejection . dont drag it on and become nervous , chatty or full of excuses . any of these things will make it more awkward for you than it is for him and opens up too many possibilities for him to try to convince you to make space for him in your life .
know that he likes you . dont procrastinate . dont avoid him forever . make a plan . talk over the phone . acknowledge the seriousness . be nice . give him your back - off message . ensure him that your feelings arent going to change . be honest . be willing to listen . agree to end the conversation . be polite . give him space . dont lead him on .
how to tell a guy you dont like him back
if you dont absolutely know that he likes you , dont act upon it . you may ruin a friendship based on rumors that other people have told you or an assumption that youve made because you think he likes you . there are some tell - tale signs that he is truly into you . he consistently asks you out . he persistently tries for body contact . he persists on hanging one - on - one . the longer you wait , the worse itll be . his feelings will grow and it will be impossible to maintain any kind of friendship after you tell him the truth . you can pretend all you want that hell get the hint if you simply avoid him . well , he wont . you need to find a time to talk to him . make it a time when its only the two of you , so that he doesnt get embarrassed in front of a group of people . write down what youre going to say before you say it . if you fumble over your words , youll make the conversation longer , more awkward , and a worse time than it needs to be . in your plan , you should have some points about why you arent interested in him . dont attack him with reasons hes gross—just be honest about why youre not into him . you cant seem to move on from your ex - boyfriend . you just arent physically attracted to him . you like someone else . if you have a conversation on the phone or over text , you can still implement all of these into your conversation . the most important part when doing that is being ultimate . make sure he knows that there is no future chance for the relationship . you need to let him know that you want to have a serious conversation . this way , he takes what youre saying to heart . if you dont take the time to do this , he may not understand the level of importance of the talk . let him down easy . add a compliment or two into your talk but convey to him that its not enough . youre a great friend , but we cant be together . youll make someone very happy , but its not going to be me . even after giving him the reasons youre not into him , he may not fully understand . deliver your official back - off message after youve told him your reasons . we wont have a romantic relationship . we can stay friends if youre going to keep it at friendship . there isnt the right chemistry between us . if you dont tell him flat out that youre feelings arent going to change—he might hope for it . dont let him leave with any questions of you having romantic feelings for him in the future . set some ground rules for your friendship if there is still going to be one . let him ask some questions if he wants to and answer the honestly . theres no sense in protecting his feelings with lies tell him the truth . this will help him move on more quickly . rehearsing the conversation in your head helps , but can also hurt you by creating preconceptions in your head about how it will go . rather than attacking him with your thoughts , sit across from him and hear what he has to say so that he will listen to what you have to say . to ensure that hes gotten your point fully , ask him what he thinks about it all . stand your ground and dont leave the conversation without him understanding that you dont like him . dont leave without clarity . just because you told him that you dont like him doesnt mean you have to ignore him or be rude . dont think of him as weak or broken because of your choice . hell move past it , so treat him like a human being . dont just ignore him forever . dont go out of your way to see if hes doing alright . if you run into him , be cordial , but dont reach out to him outside of that . rejection hurts , and if youre constantly reminding him about it , hell constantly be hurting . this could eventually lead to self - esteem issues , anger , or even aggression—you dont want to be at fault for that . if he decides that he can stay friends with you after having the conversation , make sure to set a clear line of appropriateness . this can be in a separate discussion if either of you need time to think about it . having this discussion will help both of you put some closure on the previous one . discuss if its ok to comment on how one another looks . talk about if physical contact hugs , holding hands , etc . is still appropriate .

up as a threat to you . mentioning breaking up without the urge to follow trough can cause lots of anxiety . rather than trying to figure out everything by yourself , try to open up a discussion on finding solutions besides a break up . give him some suggestions for changes you can make to help him get what he needs . these depend on your particular situation , but here are some commonly applicable ones . suggest rearranging your schedule and habits to make more time for him . suggest fun activities you can share that align with some of his goals . let him off the hook sometimes for some social obligations he doesnt enjoy . be realistic and compromise to make sure he supports you at functions where you really need him bu can bow out of non - essential obligations . set up a compromise for when you disagree about movies , music , or other cultural activities . try to mention out loud that its not necessary to have a discussion about this . say its not important to have a discussion about that video . we disagree thats all right . agree to give him more time alone to spend with his own interests , family , and friends , if thats his wish . the goal is to find common ground , so you can work together to solve conflicts . you are each entitled to your opinions , but ultimately the relationship depends on finding ways in which you can both be right . remember that even if what you have to say is valid , how you present it counts . anything that sounds oppositional or accusatory might be taken as the start of a fight , especially if hes already agitated . understand that you probably wont fix everything in your relationship over the course of one talk . allow yourselves time to express your thoughts . exercise common courtesy . dont talk over him , and dont interrupt . things might seem really urgent at the moment , but its important that he feels that youre listening . take his emotional state into account . give him some time to adjust . he might be angry , and possibly confused . set the tone for fairness , and give him room to cool off . move past blame in order to find positive solutions . telling him what happened is his own fault can soothe your ego when hes threatening to break up with you , but if you want him to stay , let him know that you can accept the person that he is . be careful when bringing up the past . aristotle maintained that the main purpose of the past tense was to identify where blame should be placed . be evenhanded in your recollection of past events . and write down relevant past behaviours , so that they wont interfere with everyday - situations . dont berate him over things he cant change . putting him in a state of permanent condemnation over things he has no control over makes it seem like hes incapable of pleasing you . dont assault his character . nobody wants to be around people who dislike their inner qualities . if you feel you have to criticize , emphasize that you are talking about his behavior . and youre doing this to help him . you would want the same from him . understand the difference between expressing feelings and assigning blame . yes , you should respect each others feelings , but starting a sentence with the words i feel . doesnt mean you can say whatever you want without consequences . when you start a sentence with i feel . make sure the rest of the sentence contains a feeling like happy , frustrated , or confused . be aware that its very common to say i feel . to disguise an accusation . i feel youre seeing it wrong is not talking about a feeling . nobody wants to admit they can be manipulative , but sometimes in the heat of an argument , logic flies out the window and its easy to resort to childish tactics to trick the other person into giving you what you want . learn to notice manipulation . the main way to recognize it is that it unfairly limits the other persons choices . look for a good relationship counseling reference for more examples and discussion of manipulative tactics . here are some common ones name - calling only a stupid person would think that . stonewalling giving someone the cold shoulder in order to punish them . giving them time or taking time , is different . if you need some time , mention this i need some time , leave me alone for a minute , i feel frustrated . threats go ahead and leave , but im keeping the dog . appeals to pity how can you leave me after everything ive been through instead , give positive reasons to stay . emphasize that you love him , not that he cant do any better . manipulative behavior doesnt address the real problems in the relationship , and can only breed resentment . as infants , we can die if were abandoned , and so if we think were being left behind , we react with extreme fear and emotional outbursts . these emotional reactions can persist into adulthood if they are not adequately addressed , and can complicate relationships . remember that no matter how painful a break up is , you can survive it . even if you dont want to break up , remembering this can help you find the strength to make necessary changes and express your feelings without breaking down or acting childish . if he needs to think , give him the space he needs . tell him that you want him to stay , but that you respect his decisions . doing this shows you are not desperate or clingy , and that hes allowed to have his own feelings . dont let go of your position of strength . this doesnt mean that you shouldnt admit that you might be wrong , or that you cant show your vulnerability . just remember that whatever happens , you can trust yourself . the overwhelming urge will be to panic , become upset and lash out , but this will only make things worse . take a minute to relax if you feel like youre about to say something you might regret . think of anything that you do well and easily , even just a routine task like doing the laundry , and recall the sense of competence you feel when doing it . if you get really angry or upset , try counting backwards from ten and taking deep breaths . remember you have a lot to offer , and you can prove this to yourself and to him by acting your best . being friendly , polite , strong , and loving is more effective than just listing the reasons why he should stay . remind him of why he fell for you in the first place .

how to write a breakup letter
when it comes to break ups , face - to - face interaction is optimal but there are a variety of reasons why writing a letter might be the best option . if youre in a long distance relationship , communication can sometimes be difficult even over a phone or web cam screen . some people are also simply uncomfortable with phone calls and if thats the case for you , a letter might help you get your words out in a calm , straightforward fashion . if your partner might become hostile or emotional during a face - to - face break up , preventing you from explaining your point of view , a letter might also be a better option . closure and open communication is important for a clean , healthy breakup and if you dont think your partner will allow this face - to - face , it may be better to write your thoughts out in a letter . a breakup letter should only be used as a last resort . unless youre experiencing one of the extenuating circumstances from above , its better to try and communicate face - to - face . face - to - face communication is ideal because non - verbal cues can provide comfort during a breakup . a smile or hug , for example , can tell your partner he or she still matters even though the relationship is ending . such moments are absent when breaking up happens in letter form . a breakup letter can also be somewhat cryptic . if theres anything your partner does not understand , he or she will be unable to ask for clarification . a lack of closure can leave him or her emotionally scarred and entering a new relationship may be difficult . if you truly feel a breakup letter is the best route despite its drawbacks , leave room open for communication . tell your partner he or she can call you or see you in a few days or weeks to talk if he or she needs to do so face - to - face . give him or her time to cool down , however , so you can both talk calmly as adults . delivery options are important in regard to a break - up letter . you want to make sure you deliver the letter in a way that does not come off as cruel or spiteful . e - mail , facebook , and other electronic means of delivering the letter are probably a bad idea . as some many people now have smart phones , that means all day internet access . you do not want your partner to open the e - mail on his way to work , school , or any event where he needs to stay focused . mailing the letter may be necessary if youre in a long distance relationship . however , give some kind of heads up . do not pretend things are normal after youve sent the letter . give your partner a heads - up to expect a letter and tell him or her youve expressed some things you feel are easier to discuss in a written format . if you live in the same town , you could deliver the letter yourself or have a friend or family member do so . a break - up should be a clean break with no room for ambiguity . you should be honest from the get - go you want to end the relationship . the letters intent should be obvious from the opening line . easing someone into a break - up seems less cruel , but it actually comes off as a mixed message . it can easily be read as uncertainty , making your partner think theres a chance you might change your mind . your opening line should be concise . begin with a simple sentence that communicates the letters intent . something like , i have come to the difficult decision to end this relationship or something along those lines works . this comes off as certain , leaving no room for confusion . breakups can be difficult and cause a lot of feelings of failure and anxiety for both parties . open communication is important as it removes the stress of not knowing . your partner deserves to understand why the relationship ended , so providing specifics as to why you feel things arent working out is vital to a break - up letter . information - sharing is an important aspect of any relationship . in a breakup , sharing the reasons you feel the relationship should end conveys you respect your partner and want him or her to have closure . the idea of a winner you , as youre leaving and a loser your partner , as hes being left are diminished if youre honest . the blame is not on one individual but rather the incompatibility between the two of you . even if your partner did something that made you unhappy , avoid name - calling and blaming . simply state the specific behavior that resulted in incompatibility . instead of saying , your friendship with your ex is damaging to our relationship try to state it in a way that focuses on your personal feelings rather than applying objective facts . for example , the fact you and jane are still so close makes me feel it would be difficult for me to trust you longterm . specific behaviors that were damaging to your relationship are important for your ex to know . he or she can use this information to improve his romantic relationships in the future . if you phrase things in a non - confrontational way , it may be helpful for him of her in the future to know why a past relationship ended . remember , its not always something the other person is doing . sometimes , incompatibility causes a relationship to end . if this is the case , say so . this is often easier to accept and your ex will not end up feeling bad or guilty about past mistakes . say something like , i feel that we ultimately want to end up in different locations and as im getting older , i want to find someone im compatible with in the longterm . remember , as youre not face - to - face the non - verbal cues that can be reassuring are absent . kindness is important in a break - up letter . you want your partner to understand that , even though the relationship has ended , they still matter . while you need to be firm that youre ending the relationship , theres no need to be spiteful or aggressive while doing so . even if you do have feelings of resentment , expressing yourself is an aggressive way could lead your ex to retaliate with his own letter or an angry phone call . end the letter by saying something positive , like i valued the time we spent together and i hope you find someone you work better with in the future . the absence of non - verbal cues can make you come off as cold , so you want your ex to feel that you do care and that he or she is valued even though the relationship is over . another reasons kindness is important is that letters bind you to your words . in anger or sadness , we often say things we do not truly mean and you do not want you or your ex to carry around physical evidence of a regrettable phrasing or tone . when a relationship ends , its important not to deny or minimize the feelings of sadness that follow . you need to experience your breakup in order to get over it . grieving is a normal part of a relationship ending . even if you know the decision was for the best , you will likely miss your partner in the days and weeks that follow the breakup . many people deal with such feelings by avoiding them . people may take up a big project or start socializing or drinking heavily . however , this is not a good idea . ending a relationship , especially a serious and longterm one , is one of the most difficult emotional blows a person can endure in life . you need to be able to accept and face the pain to process the emotions youre feeling about the loss . biology plays a factor in how we cope with breakups . understanding your biological functions in the wake of a failed romance can help you better cope . the human brain is wired for bonding , so the breaking of any bond is emotionally difficult . a breakup can be similar to drug withdrawal as the feelings of longing for another person remain even weeks after the relationship has ended . areas of the brain associated with drug use are activated during romantic relationships , and so youre biologically wired to miss someone and feel regret or loneliness in the direct aftermath of a breakup . understand such feelings are temporary and , as time passes , they will lessen . while past relationships do affect how you function in current relationship , the acute feelings of pain lose intensity with time . oftentimes , in order to justify or dismiss a relationship , people indulge in ruminating over things they disliked about an ex . such negative thoughts do not help you get over someone . they simply increase the amount of time you spend thinking about an ex , prolonging the process of getting over someone . instead , try to focus on the positives and look towards better prospects in the future .
do not cry in front of them - you dont want to look like a basket case and make them think that theyre making the right decision . get in the car and let out a good scream when youre at least two blocks away from their house . drive to your best friends house for a shoulder to cry on . cry . box up all the things that they gave you , or that remind you of them . print out all emails they sent you gather up all letters they wrote you . cut off all contact with them for at least a month this will help the healing process because you wont be talking to them all the time . if you see them regularly at work or school , always look good . when they do come back around , because youre too great of a girl for them to not come back , make them work for your attention . if you let them back in , make sure youre strict about you staying .

so - significant - other left behind at your apartment may be just as healthy . then again , so would returning said jacket to its owner . totally your call . everyone in your life who knew about your relationship is going to want to know what the cause of the breakup was . the storytelling , unfortunately , leads to the constant reliving of the event and the reopening of emotional wounds and tension . whether you have a good poker face or not , your character may be negatively perceived by others since sharing a stressful moment , or discussing someone you dislike , typically leads to the use of venomous speech and causes you to be as worked up as you were while actually experiencing the incident . just stick to the basics the two of you are no longer together , you are much happier now , and you will never continue the former partnership . never force friends to pick between you and your ex . instead , after the news of the breakup has been shared , allow your true friends to make the loyal – yet mature – moves that they should in order to remain prominent in your life . those whom you have met through the relationship should not be expected to only keep up with simply you mutual friends will feel the need to spend equal time with both you and your former lover . friends that have been a part of your life before you met your ex will not hesitate to cut your former better half out of their daily lives – same should be expected of your exs associates and confidantes . a thorough weeding of the friends list of your social networks is definitely in order as well . the coincidental run - in with a potential , current , or former lover is never unintentional . one of the factors in deciding whether or not you should go to the biannual school fair or college night at the local bar is whether or not you will run into a specific someone or someones . if there is ever the slightest chance of you running into your ex at a public event or venue , do not pass go . altering your plans and regular hangouts should never be the case , however . just be aware that if your ex knows of your usual hot spots for a night on the town , he or she will not give up a chance to make at least one night an awkward time for you . nothing good will ever come from a reunion . never . whether you randomly remember a good experience or a very tragic occurrence , if the event has anything to do with your insignificant other , move the account to the back of your mind and never utter the name of thou - who - must - not - be - named ever again . memories are precious things which you are able to carry with you even when times you spend with others – or those you have spent life - altering moments with – have come and gone . memorable times with your ex could be mistakenly excused as being cautionary tales or moments to look forward to with your next , and hopefully final , love of your life , but these should never be the case . constantly thinking of your ex will cause you to constantly crave to spend time with him or her , or wonder what he or she is up to . mentioning your ex means that you are thinking of your ex – which should never be the case because… . your ex should always remain your ex . the relationship is over , and , if you have accepted the breakup and decided that you would like to move on with your life , interactions with your former lover are over as well . keeping in contact with an ex creates that illusion that the two of you can remain friends , the emotional relationship which was forsaken once you became lovers . never wish the ex a happy birthday . refrain from sending a holiday greeting . delete that urge to ask , how are you this may seem like a step to becoming a bitter ex , but it is in fact part of becoming a smart , emotionally stable individual . you must accept the fact that you cannot change every situation in your life that has gone astray , and you are most certainly also unable to stay in the good graces of everyone you meet . all you can do is let go of the past and stay open to positive future experiences .
minimize possible damage from first dates . be kind . take the high road . dont beat around the bush . address the situation directly being direct and honest need not be harsh or mean . keep to your decision .
how to tell someone you dont want to go on another date
dont sleep with people on your first date - especially if theres any idea that this is not your perfect match dating is meant to give you a chance to talk and get to know someone , you dont have to have sex . frankly , most people can tell within a few minutes whether they are interested enough for a second date - if this is the case with you , dont even offer a kiss goodnight . keep things very platonic and nice , but dont allow it to escalate into sexual action of any kind . this makes it much harder to later convince the hard - headed that you really are not interested . you may not think this person is a match for you , but she is a human being whose only crime was being interested enough in you to want to get to know you better . bear this in mind , even if you found this person boring , overly introverted , too fixated on hisher hobby , or just not compatible . maybe this person was an arrogant , obnoxious boor . if this person was a jerk when you were on your date , remember that this is the last time you will have to talk with himher . theres no need to make an enemy - just be direct and dont get hostile . your phone rings - its himher . this is not the time for prevaricating wavering . dont let it go to voice mail - answer it . dont give in to the temptation to say things like , sure , id love to do it again sometime - call me next week . you think its harmless and vague enough not to matter , but its not . thats a lie , and its wrong . if youre lucky , heshe is calling to say thanks for a nice evening , and nothing more . if thats the case , you need not say anything more than youre welcome . thank you , too . however . if she is calling for another date , go on to the next step . just say , i think that youre a great guygirl . youre just not my great guygirl . i know your great mate is out there . good luck to you . if she tries to persuade you to give it just one more chance , its up to you , of course , but if youve already made up your mind , just say , im sorry , but i dont think we have enough in common for a long - term relationship . thanks , though . thats firm - and final - and leaves no room for doubt as to where your head is at . wavering because you feel sorry for someone is not a good idea . many times , this person is a friend of a friend . your mutual friend tells you how upset this person is that things didnt work out , and how shed really like another chance . maybe heshe has even been crying or is incessantly begging your friend to work on you , trying to get another shot with you . its fine to feel compassion about hisher pain rejection is never easy . but giving in to another date will only compound the error , and you will go through it all over again after the next one . stay firm in your resolve , and tell your friend , its great there is a friend like you who is so kind and cares so much about hisher happiness . the thing is , it would just make things worse . its not that heshe isnt a good person , its just that were not a match . lets leave it at that . if your friend persists , say , youre a good friend , but its not going to happen . tell himher that i said good luck , and lets drop it . now .
make sure you are not already having a huge fight over the end of the holiday season or that you have led him up the garden path about your intentions . find a private area where you can talk and not create a scene . simply sit down and let him know how you feel . listen to what he has to say . leave on good terms .
how to say bye to your holiday boyfriend
this will just leave a bitter taste in your mouth and is not a great way to end something that was good while it lasted . both of you liked each other a lot , or you wouldnt have become involved , right so , be thoughtful and make the break somewhere secluded and pleasant . try to pick somewhere you can share a local dish , favorite drink or other pleasant memory . and dont forget to pay for it . tell him that the fling was fun but that living in completely different places doesnt bode well for your future relationship and that you are dreadful at keeping in touch . tell him that you really enjoyed the time together but that it was only a holiday thing and that it would be unkind to pretend it can continue back in everyday life . hear him out . it may well be that he feels the exact same way as you . if not , let him express his sorrow and be kind to him . it doesnt hurt to ask him to try to be realistic about the whole situation and to let him know how great he was and that youre sure jealous of his next girlfriend . theres no harm swapping addresses if you want to . maybe someday youll cross paths again . and as time passes , it can be good to have a friend in another part of your country or even the world to drop in on and borrow a couch for a night or two
tell the truth . use a compliment sandwich . be direct . treat the person with respect . communicate effectively .
how to reject someone without breaking their heart 1
honesty is usually the best policy . it is disrespectful to lie to someone . if you dont want to date someone , you should say so . sometimes it is easy to be honest . for example , you might be able to truthfully say , no , thank you , i already have a date for that party . other times , you might need to find a kinder way to be nice . maybe you are not attracted to the person . instead of bluntly saying that , try saying , no , thank you , i just dont think we would be a good fit . avoid making up a phony excuse . for instance , dont tell someone you will be out of town this weekend if you wont be . theres a chance that you might then run into them at the movies , which would definitely cause hurt feelings . a compliment sandwich is a really effective way to provide feedback . essentially , you sandwich your negative comment between two positive things . try using this method when you need to reject someone . an example of a compliment sandwich is to say something such as , youre an awesome person . unfortunately , im not interested in dating you . someone else is going to be really lucky to date someone with such a great personality you could also try , you are a really nice person . im only interested you as a friend . i like when we hang out in big groups together be sincere . if you offer false compliments , the other person will likely be able to tell and feel hurt . if you do not want to date someone , it is best to be upfront about your feelings . do not beat around the bush . if your mind is made up , it is best to clearly state your response . if someone asks you to date them and you dont want to , you can be direct and kind at the same time . state your answer clearly . you can make your feelings clear without purposefully hurting someone elses feelings . try smiling and saying , that sounds fun , but no thank you . im not interested in dating you . dont beat around the bush . if you do not want to accept the date , there is no need to say , let me think about it . it is best to get the rejection over with . you dont want to give someone false hope . avoid saying something like , let me check my schedule and get back to you . try to treat the person the way you would want to be treated . this means that you should choose your words carefully . be thoughtful in your response . its okay to pause before responding . you might be taken by surprise and need a moment to collect your thoughts . say thank you . it is a compliment to be asked out . you can say , im flattered . unfortunately , i cant accept . dont laugh . many people laugh nervously in awkward situations . try to avoid giggling , as that is likely to result in hurt feelings . sometimes it is not what you say , but how you say it . if you need to reject someone , think about factors other than your words . non - verbal communication matters , too . use the right tone of voice . try to sound gentle but firm . make eye contact . this helps convey that you are being serious , and also shows respect for the other person . if you are in public , try not to speak too loudly . it is not necessary for everyone around you to know that you are turning down a date .
think about why you are breaking up with her . practice what you are going to say . figure out how to respond to her . find a private time and place to do it . do it in person . talk about the positives with the negatives . listen to her . be ready to feel emotional . dont jump right back into dating . reach out to your friends . dont contact your ex - girlfriend . be nice to your ex - girlfriend .
how to break up with your girlfriend in high school
do you feel like you two have nothing in common anymore does she do things that make you angry are you going off to college and want to stop before the relationship becomes a long - distance one this should not be a decision you make quickly or in anger . think carefully about your reasons for wanting to break up with your girlfriend . explore your feelings and ask yourself if you have good reasons , or if they are issues that you could resolve by talking to her . if youre angry after a fight , take time to think about whether you want to break up or if youre just angry in the moment . if you are jealous of her relationship with her friends , talk to her about that rather than just breaking up over it . if she is abusive , end the relationship . verbal and physical abuse is a dealbreaker . when you break up with a person , they want to know why . be ready with answers for her . be honest but kind . im sorry , im heading off for the army and i need to focus on that and not on our relationship . i am going to be so busy there wont be any time for a relationship ive had a great time with you , but i think weve both changed and arent the same people we were when we got together . we dont seem to have anything in common anymore . ive really tried to give this a go , but i dont want to go out with you anymore . i feel like youre not interested in me . that makes me sad . ive tried to talk to you about it , but it seems like you dont want to resolve it . think about her responses - - sad , angry , silent - - and how you are going to deal with them . do you want to comfort her , or just deliver the message and leave keep in mind that these interactions often dont go as planned , so be ready to improvise . they are always challenging and difficult , but try to be kind and sympathetic to her feelings . im sorry youre so sad . i just dont think this is right for either of us . i know youll find someone much better than i am for you . look , i understand that youre angry , but i dont want to fight . i am going to walk away and we can talk about this later . i know ive made you really upset . im sorry . if you want to talk about it sometime later , please let me know . dont break up with her in the hallway with everybody around . choose a time that isnt during the school day . think about doing it outside , maybe taking a walk . that way you dont have to look at each other - - sometimes that helps with a really emotional conversation . dont do it through facebook , texts , over the phone , etc . no one deserves that kind of treatment . even if youre worried about how its going to go , you need to be brave and do it face - to - face . doing it through texts or facebook may feel a lot better to you , but it certainly wont to her . if you want to have any kind of friendship with her in the future , do the right thing and do it in person . for this difficult conversation , you might want to start by letting her know that you have something important you need to say . she will probably have some idea that its about breaking up . start by saying something nice about her . i need to talk to you , but i wanted to let you know ive always thought youre such a kind person . or whatever happens between the two of us , i wanted to tell you that you are a great singer and i hope you continue with music . tell her why the relationship is not working for you . i dont think we share interests any more or im having a lot of trouble with my parents divorce right now , and i need to focus on dealing with my anger , not being in a relationship . explain that you want to break up . you need to say this explicitly so she knows that this isnt a conversation about trying to make your relationship better . i am breaking up with you - - im sorry . you could also tell her - - i need to break this relationship off . im not ready to be so serious with you . be comforting and say something nice about her . you are such a beautiful person , you are going to find someone who can give you the kind of relationship you want . you could also say , you deserve someone smart and ready to be in the kind of committed relationship you deserve . it might be that she is feeling the same way you are . chances are , however , that she has different ideas about the relationship . she might want to try and continue it , and then it will be up to you to decide if you want to try and work on it or go through with the breakup as planned . even if it goes as you planned , youre probably going to feel emotionally fragile when its over . breaking up is difficult in any situation , because youre typically going to be making the other person feel bad . take some time to yourself to think things over after you have talked to your ex - girlfriend . even though it might seem like a good idea to get back out there and find someone new , its usually a poor idea . youre not at your emotional best , and you should take a few weeks to think through what you want to do going forward . sometimes hanging out with your friends is the best way to move forward . they were with you through the relationship and will be there to support you now . plan fun activities to keep you occupied and less likely to dwell on your romantic situation . if you want to discuss the break up with your friends , thats fine , but dont keep bringing it up - - you need to move on and your friends probably arent excited to hear about it over and over . even if she wants to be in touch , you need a period where you two are not communicating so that the relationship can end and you can both adjust to the new reality . you might be able to communicate as friends in a few months , but dont seek her out . if she contacts you , explain that you need time and dont want to be in contact just yet . when you see her around , be friendly . even if she ignores you or yells , its better for you to be mature and treat her respectfully .
be gentle with yourself . eat healthy . exercise . reflect on your purpose . reflect on why and what kind of makeover you want . treat yourself . splurge on a new hairstyle or a wardrobe change . change the inner , not just the outer . reconnect with what you love . get rid of whats holding you back . try something new . get out and have fun . seek out the right relationship .
how to reinvent yourself after a break up girls
right after a break up , its very common for women to blame themselves . however , instead of piling guilt on top of all the negativity you are already experiencing , try your best to be positive and kind to yourself . remember that you want to reinvent yourself for yourself , not to get your partner back or to prove something to the rest of the world . cut out the negative self - talk . instead of dwelling on your failures and what you could have done differently , comfort yourself as you would comfort your best friend . tell yourself you did what you could , reflect on what youve learned from the experience , and give yourself positive affirmations . if you are finding it difficult to get through your days , try saying some daily affirmations in the mirror . look in the mirror and repeat a phrase several times to your reflection such as , i am worthy , beautiful , and strong . it may sound silly , but telling yourself positive affirmations and doing your best to truly believe in them can help reset your thinking and encourage a more positive outlook on the world . the extreme stress caused by a break up causes different reactions but regardless , taking care of your physical health is of utmost importance , especially when the break up happened recently . you may have difficulty sleeping , turn to food for comfort , or have no desire to eat at all . regardless of how your body reacts , do your best to maintain as many healthy routines as possible . you may crave chocolates or other unhealthy foods but try to maintain a healthy diet with lots of fruits and vegetables . not only will this help you feel better , but your body will also thank you and you will avoid the dreaded post - break up pounds . eating healthy doesnt mean depriving yourself of all treats . if all you want to do is eat your feelings in the form of a gallon of ice cream , try spooning out a reasonable portion of ice cream into a separate bowl and enjoying it slowly . satisfying your craving can actually boost your psychological state , but if you overdo it by binge eating , youll end up feeling worse about yourself in the long run . any form of exercise , whether it be yoga or even just running around the block for fifteen minutes , can also offset some of the anxiety and sadness you experience through an uptick of dopamine and other feel - good chemicals in the brain . a break up can be a great reason to treat yourself to a one - month trial at a new yoga studio or even try out a new activity , like pole dancing or zumba , that gets you working out in a supportive and upbeat community . you may not feel like leaving the house or moving at all . if thats the case , try doing some light stretches or just walking around the block until you are feeling better . after all , every little step counts . losing yourself in a new workout activity or sport can not only be a great way to distract yourself from the negative emotions you are processing , but can also contribute to a fitter , stronger body which could improve your confidence and contribute to the new , reinvented you . in the aftermath of a relationship , its always good to take some time to reflect on your life . after all , no matter how in love you were with the person , your life is ultimately your own and this can be a great opportunity to reflect on your hopes , goals , and dreams - - what you ultimately see as your own purpose in life . if you dont have any concrete goals , now could be a great time to start they can be as simple as learn how to salsa dance or get a promotion . if you already have some goals , such as getting as in school , brainstorm what you can do on a regular basis to get to that point . coming up with regular to - do lists can contribute to your success and also get you back into rhythm after the post - break up trauma . many of us lose track of our goals when were in a relationship . whether this was the case for you or not , try to keep sight of your goals as and think of them as an umbrella to shelter yourself from disappointment . pinning your hopes on yourself and working towards your goals in a concrete manner will help you move on and even potentially put you in contact with people who are better suited to you . after all , reinventing yourself is all about re - centering your focus on your life , including how you feel and how you present yourself to the world . for some , reinventing yourself may be all about getting on track with your life goals while for others , physical alterations are more important . if possible , have a friend tag along or even do a makeover with you . not only will you have more fun , youll also get some friendly guidance that will help steer you away from any potentially regrettable decisions . if you and your ex had a shared social group , reach out to a friend that is either outside of that friend group or is much closer to you than your ex such as a childhood friend who became friends with your ex much later . you dont want to put anyone in the uncomfortable position of choosing sides . theres nothing like a good pampering to ease all the troubles away , so treat yourself to a massage , facial , or a mani - pedicure . or if spa treatments arent your thing , buy yourself a new perfume or even indulge in your favorite candy . if you cant afford expensive spa treatments , doing facials or mani - pedis at home can still give you the same benefits . inviting a friend over can further help lift your spirits as well . doing so will increase your self confidence and also help you psychologically adjust to your life in the aftermath of a break up . if you cant afford a new hairstyle or clothes , dont despair . you can always check out thrift stores for cheap , interesting pieces or dye your hair yourself rather than going to a salon . even a change as small as parting your hair differently can have a dramatic impact on your look and , more importantly , how you feel about yourself . if you usually wear a signature perfume , try changing it up . many of us connect memories with scents and so continuing to wear a certain scent may remind you of your ex and bring you down . buying a new perfume will not only be a great way to treat yourself , but could also help you begin a new chapter in life . when talking about makeovers , people usually focus on the outward changes in appearance but you should apply the concept of the makeover to your personality and emotional state as well . take some time to reflect on what you would like to change about your attitudes or behaviors and what you can do to implement those changes . for example , many people suffer from low self - confidence , especially after a break up . try boosting your confidence by focusing on the positives , in your outlook and your self - image , and changing your body posture to communicate confidence such as standing straight and keeping your shoulders down . many people give up activities they once loved or stop spending as much time on them when they are in a romantic relationship . this is natural but now that you are newly single , take the opportunity to take up reading your favorite books , jumping back into your favorite sport , or spending more time with your girl friends . go through your belongings and get rid of mementos , old clothes , anything that you feel doesnt serve a purpose other than to remind you of the pain of the lost relationship . this includes truly letting go of the relationship you were in . if you two have agreed to be friends , be sure to have a set time out period so that things can cool off between you two . if the break up ended badly , do your best to just forget about your ex and move on with your life . after a breakup is a great time to start a new hobby or learn a new skill . all that time you once spent with your ex can now be channeled into doing the things you want to do . reflect on if theres anything youve ever wanted to do but somehow never found the time or drive to act on that desire . some women even take this as an opportunity to make an ambitious career or education change . if youve always secretly wanted to finish your degree or apply for a job abroad , then take the break up as an opportunity to do it trying something new doesnt have to be dramatic , however . for some women , taking up painting , getting through that stack of classics thats been collecting dust , or taking an online course can be just as satisfying . after your initial mourning period , its important to not get stuck in a post break up rut . whether its going to the park , going dancing , or just reconnecting with close friends , its important to go out and do fun things . remember that at the end of the day you live life as an individual , so get out there and live your life . just be sure to not go out of control . many people resort to harmful or self - destructive behaviors such as drinking too much or acting out during grieving periods . you can avoid this by doing emotional check - ins . for example , if you make plans to meet at a bar with friends but are really only looking forward to the drinks , you should examine where that desire is coming from and plan to do something else with your friends , or ask them to monitor how much you drink so that you dont lose control . dont go to parties or other events that your ex is also likely to attend . you both need a substantial period of time apart in order to heal and move on . if youve already said yes to a party and only find out later that your ex will be there , cancel and make new plans for the evening unless you are positive that you are emotionally ready for a possible interaction . this step may be further down the line , but make sure to take what you have learned from your last relationship and carry the lessons with you . reflect on what kind of partner the new you would like and what you have to offer them . remember , you and your ex broke up for a reason and part of reinventing yourself is to have a happier , more fulfilling life so look for qualities in other people that will make that happen .
take responsibility for breaking up . use compassion . plan what you want to say . find a good time . make a clean break .

how to move on 1
when we lose something important to us , the healthy response is to grieve . psychologists believe that all people generally go through the same stages of grief , or the same set of emotional responses . understanding these can help you understand your feelings and know that how you feel is normal and healthy . these stages last for different amounts of time for different individuals and certain stages may not present at all . it is important to remember that everyone is different . denial . it may be difficult , at first , to believe that your relationship has ended . especially if you have been together for a long time , the idea of not being together may feel unnatural and unreal . you may perhaps feel that your partner isnt really gone , they just need time to cool down . while this is a normal emotional response , it is important to acknowledge that your relationship is over , as denying this will just make things harder for you and your partner . anger . this is often described as a feeling of why me you may feel the strong need to blame the end of your relationship on any number of factors . you may blame yourself , your partner , your god , your family , your friends , your job , or any other number of factors . it is important not to act out , however . fault is often shared between many factors or may not exist at all . bargaining . this is a time period where people often try to return to their ended relationship . you may beg your partner to take you back , promising to change whatever you perceive as being the source of the breakup . this is likely not a good idea , however . even if the relationship can be repaired , it should be done after serious reflection and positive changes . this stage generally ends when one realizes that the relationship cannot be repaired . depression . this is usually the longest lasting stage of grief . you will feel very sad and often as if there is no hope . you may feel like you never want to love again or that life is pointless . these emotions are normal but remember that feelings of suicide are not . if you feel this way , seek help immediately . like all stages of grief , this stage too will end and you will be happy again . acceptance . acceptance of what has happened to you usually follows or coincides with the depression stage . you will come to understand that the end of your relationship is not the end of the world . you will feel okay about what has happened and you will be ready to move on to the next stage of your life . it is important to be sad . dont pretend that everything is wonderful . bottling your emotions like this is unhealthy and can lead to problems later on . you should allow yourself to be sad . cry , if you want to . this is a normal , healthy response when bad things happen to you . watching sad or hopeful movies , eating comfort foods , or getting some good snuggle time with your favorite pet is a good way to spend time being sad . of course , being sad for a long time or being sad in a way that significantly impacts your quality of life may be an indication that its time to start turning your feelings around . if you cant do this on your own , get help . when you are at this stage , it is important to have time to yourself . while being with others is important and can significantly help the healing process , you need time to yourself as well . use this time to take care of your own needs . focus on what makes you feel better and thinking about what you want at this stage in your life . having others around can be distracting , which is good in moderation but will keep you from taking care of yourself if in excess . set aside at least a few hours every day where you can be by yourself and really process your feelings . in the evening , before bedtime , is usually the easiest for most people . if your home is not a good environment for alone time , try going on a walk in your neighborhood , to a local park , or to your local library . after a breakup , especially if the relationship was long - term , you may feel like you wasted time or that the whole thing was pointless . this is never the case and it is important to keep that in mind . even bad experiences serve to teach us about ourselves , what we want from life , what we value most , and how to better interact with other people . though your relationship has ended , it has undoubtedly provided you with invaluable life experiences . if it did not , you would not feel so upset about it ending . finding meaning in your experience can be a really powerful way to move on , instantly transforming a negative experience into something that while it may not be fully positive will as least make you happy on some level that it happened at all . finding that meaning , however , is difficult and how you do it will depend on you , how you think , and what you gained from the experience . try not to look for negative life lessons , since these will only make you more bitter . instead , look for something that is really a gain in your life . good examples of lessons from tough experiences include now i know that i can survive tough situations . or now i know more about what i want as a person and what is really important to me . or this has made me realize how truly wonderful the people in my life are and helped me to appreciate them while i have them . dont pretend like your ex never existed . like bottling your emotions , this is an unhealthy response . this person played a role in your life and that role needs to be acknowledged . know that the time with your ex is over , but remembering those times fondly will help you feel better in the long term . while many people make themselves feel better by thinking about the bad things about their ex , it is also important to think about the good things . focusing only on the bad things will lead you to be bitter and may lead you to regret things about your relationship that you enjoyed at the time . this poisoning of your own memories will just hurt you in the long run . to remind yourself of the good parts of your relationship , write down the things about your ex that you liked or particularly good times you had together . failed relationships , like anything in your life that ends badly , can serve as a wonderful learning opportunity . reflect on your relationship , the good things and the bad things , so that you can use that knowledge to bring positive change to your life . this will allow you to improve future relationships by learning from your mistakes and learning more about what you want from yourself and another person . think about your partners failures in the relationship , as well as the things they did well . which of these qualities would you like to see in future relationships and what qualities should you avoid in the future maybe your ex was very lazy , which didnt bother you in the beginning but became a problem over time . this might be something to avoid in your next relationship , even if it isnt so much of a problem in the beginning . acknowledge your own faults . there were likely things in the relationship that you handled poorly as well . think about what these things were and how these traits negatively impact your relationships with other people . these can be qualities which affect friends and family as well . think about how and if you want to try to change these things about yourself . maybe you find that you forget to consider the feelings of others , for example . this may be a quality to change , in order to create better relationships with everyone around you . love yourself . remember to think about the good things about yourself as well . you are a good person , even if you have made mistakes . bad experiences in life should not keep you from feeling like you have something to offer the world . list the things about yourself that you and others like . focus on really making those qualities shine and you will feel better in no time .

everyone has problems and that some problems are much bigger than yours . this perspective can be comforting and teach you to appreciate all of the wonderful things and people that you do have in your life . try volunteering at a soup kitchen if youre looking for something less time consuming . if you want a bigger commitment , try something like habitat for humanity . traveling will give you something to be proud of , as well as creating new memories both good and bad . put yourself in a situation youve never been in before , go somewhere where you do not speak the language . this will

quality journal . this will ensure that the journal will stand up to any abuse from daily use , and will make you more likely to want to use your journal every day . set aside time everyday to write in your journal . try setting a timer to force yourself to write for longer periods of time . allow yourself to experiment . your journal isnt intended to be read by anyone else , so let yourself be open and honest . give yourself permission to think things through on the page , as youre figuring it out . in other words , it doesnt have to be a perfectly thought - out and well - articulated document . it can just be a jumble of thoughts , feelings , or observations . maybe you were rejected in front of a group of people and youre feeling embarrassed , or perhaps you just had really high hopes that things would work out with someone . whatever youre going through , dont be afraid to talk about how youre feeling if youre really devastated over a rejection . if you dont think your friends or family would understand , try talking to a counselor or therapist . many schools and universities offer free counselors , or you can search online to find a therapist in your area . its natural to feel a little hurt after getting rejected , but its important that you dont let yourself become afraid of rejection in the future . that kind of fear and avoidance are part of catastrophizing , which involves assuming that one experience is part of a larger , more serious pattern . remember that even though rejection may be inconvenient and even painful , it is not a horrible , life - or - death situation . keep in mind that rejection is never permanent . new opportunities will always present themselves eventually . many people respond to rejection by internalizing it . its easy to feel that someones rejection is a reflection of your own worth , but its simply not true . youve no doubt had crushes on some people and not had feelings about others , and it has nothing to do with how attractive or interesting or likable that person is . much of it boils down to compatibility . other times , a person may just not be ready for a relationship . whatever the reason , it does not reflect on you . never let someone elses approval or rejection define your own worth . remember that you are wonderful just the way you are . yes , its unfortunate that your crush didnt feel the same way about you , and its probably a little painful . however , its just one person , and that person wasnt right for you . try to think of rejection as an opportunity to find a better situation with someone who will feel the same way about you . if your crush didnt think youd be compatible together , that just means that theres someone else out there with whom youll be even more compatible . if your crush rejected you , its possible you were more attracted to their appearance than their personality . whatever the circumstances of your rejection were , now would be a good time to be honest with yourself and determine what you want from an ideal partner . think about traits you would want from an ideal partner . perhaps you want someone who is warm and caring , or maybe trustworthiness is more important to you . shared interests or worldview is also a common trait people seek in a partner . whatever it is that you think you want from a partner , figure it out before you start having feelings for anyone else . while ideal partner preferences shape the type of person you actively seek out , you also have an unspoken emotional reaction to most people you meet . sometimes were blinded by our emotional reaction to someone because of their looks or charming personality , but its important to learn to recognize the emotional reaction you feel in someones presence . emotional reactions are typically unconscious , and you cant change that reaction . but as you analyze your emotions over time perhaps through journaling , you can learn to recognize the emotional reaction that you have to a person . even if someone has traits that you find ideal and you have a positive emotional reaction to that person , you may simply not be a good match when it comes to longterm compatibility . learning how to evaluate a crush for real , meaningful compatibility can be the difference between frustrating relationship problems and a meaningful , fulfilling partnership . think about the personality traits you find most desirable . do you have a type does that type typically work well with you or are you only seeing the surface of people you have a crush ontrust your gut . if you find someone attractive but dont have much in common with them , it probably wont work out , and you probably already know this . learn to trust your gut as you evaluate potential partners , as this will help you avoid getting hurt and rejected in the future .

how to repair a teenage relationship
teenagers tend to be highly insecure . they dislike feeling like theyre being judged for their choices . instead of laying on the blame when talking to your teen , look for patterns of behavior that are detrimental to a healthy relationship . combating the patterns is more effective than simply chastising your teen for his or her behavior . try seeing things from your teens perspective . why do you think he or she is resistant to having a healthy relationship with you where is he or she coming from in regards to the conflict is there anything youre doing thats ineffective when it comes to communicationdo not worry about who is right . look for the pattern . what behaviors are creating a negative home environment and how can the two of you work together mutually to address those behaviors try beginning a conversation like this i notice that i ask you to do put your dirty dishes in the sink . even when you say you will , you dont end up doing it a lot of the time and i end up having to get on your case . this causes you to get angry . what do you think we can do to solve this problem more effectively when youre frustrated with a relationship with a family member , you may feel inclined to look back at past interactions . this is a means to collect evidence , with a strong confirmation bias , that youre right and your teen is wrong . such a strategy can be detrimental when trying to repair a relationship . youre working on moving forward so dwelling in the past is preventing you from moving beyond negativities of the past . when interacting with your teen , focus on the present moment and the present problem . you cannot force your teen to want to talk to you . if you try to pry , your teen is likely to pull away . however , if you strive to simply make yourself available your teen will come to you when he or she is in need . always let your teen know if they need you , you can be there to talk . do not pressure them or make them feel obligated to share . simply say something like , if you need me , im always here to chat . make sure your teen knows when he or she can reach you when you might not be readily available . have your work phone number available for emergencies . text your teen if you cant take a call at a given moment . teenagers are known for their insecurity . if you come off as judgmental to your teenager , this may alienate him or her from you . try to be as non - judging as possible when talking with your teen . people begin to explore new behavior during their teenage years . sexual feelings emerge and your teen might be curious about exploring aspects of the adult world , like engaging in drinking . allow your teen to express themselves to you without judgment , but serve as a gentle reminder that safety is important . do not be afraid to talk to your teen about the dangers of drinking and unprotected sex . just make sure you do so in a way that makes it clear you want your teen to be safe and happy . do not frame it in a judgmental tone . try saying something like , i know teenagers are curious about trying new things , but i want you to be safe and happy . can we spend some time this week talking about drinking and drug use when trying to repair a damaged relationship at any age , people sometimes get tunnel vision . they feel like they should be hyper focused on potential outcomes . this obsession with meeting goals , which are often difficult to measure in relationships , skews their ability to focus . place your energy towards putting in a solid effort and goals should happen organically . many parents find it difficult to talk with their teen . if you want to build a healthier relationship with your teenagers , learn how to talk to your teen effectively . withhold judgment during conversations but maintain honesty . if certain topics inevitably lead to judgment and hostility , halt the conversation with something like , i dont think we should talk about this . make time for casual conversation . if you only discuss relationship problems with your teen conversation will always feel stressful and forced . talk about fun , unimportant matters like movies , tv shows , celebrity gossip , and other fun interests . ease into making conversation with your teen . you cant expect your teen to want to open up and be friends with you over night . take tiny , gradual steps when it comes to repairing a damaged relationship . parents are sometimes guilty of not truly listening to their teenagers . having a healthy relationship with your teen means listening to his needs and wants and treating them as valid . practice active listening with your teen . its important for teens to feel heard and acknowledged . give non - verbal clues , like nodding and smiling when appropriate , to show you are listening . repeat back what your teen just said in a brief summary . for example , if your teen is saying he feels like his friends ditched him at the hockey game last week say something like , so , youre feeling left out because your friends didnt seem to want to spend time with you this will show your teen youre paying attention and care . active listening prevents misunderstandings , a factor that can damage any relationship . it also forces you to listen and take in what your teen in saying . an underlying mental health problem like depression or anxiety could be affecting your relationship with your teen . such ailments can manifest themselves differently in teens than in adults so familiarize yourself with the warning signs . feelings of sadness , frequent crying bouts , fatigue , loss of interest in activities , and difficulty concentrating serve as symptoms of depression in both teens and adults . there are some symptoms of depression that teens tend to show more often than adults . these include an irritable or angry mood , complaints of various aches and pains , sensitivity to criticism , and withdrawing from friends and family members . a teen may act out when experiencing depression and anxiety as a means to cope with emotional pain . he may experience problems at school , academically and behaviorally , and become addicted to going online or abuse drugs and alcohol . your teen may also develop chronic low self esteem , engage in high risk behaviors , and sometimes lash out at others in violence . if you want to work on repairing a relationship , work on tweaking your listening skills . when someone tries to communicate with you , do your best to show you are listening . actively listening means giving verbal and non verbal cues you are paying attention to whats said . nod on occasion and say things yes and uh - huh . smile and laugh at appropriate times . when its your turn to speak , take a few moments to reiterate what the other person said . briefly summarize the points they made , something like i understand you feel like . or im hearing youre feeling very . if a friend or romantic partner feels hurt by something you did , apologize to that person . teens are often preoccupied with what others think , making them reluctant to apologize . however , whether you feel you were in the wrong or not you should sincerely apologize if you hurt someones feelings . an apology can go a long way towards repairing a damaged relationship . withholding judgment is important to repairing damaged relationships . try to put whatever circumstances lead to you and this persons disagreement aside . proceed without judgment , despite any past negativity . make a conscious effort to see things from the other persons perspective . even if your feelings were hurt , what do you think drove this person to behave how he or she did , ask yourself whether this relationship is truly worth repairing . teenagers often make poor decisions relationship wise due to insecurity . make sure you know the qualities a good friend should have . think about past friendships that were positive as well as your relationships with family members . what did you like about these relationships did you feel supported , secure , safe did you feel this way in regards to the damaged relationship why or why notlook for friends that bring out the best qualities in you . if you dont like how you behave in the presence of a particular person , that friendship might not be worth your time . repair relationships only with those who treat you with respect . some relationships became damaged for a reason . if you feel disrespected , there is nothing wrong with wanting to end a relationship . abusive relationships can take the form of friendships and romantic relationships . teens are often unaware of healthy relationship dynamics as theyre still exploring themselves and the world . learn what a bad relationship looks like so you know what kind of people to avoid . abusers tend to be very jealous . an abusive friend or boyfriend or girlfriend will get jealous easily and worry about abandonment . abusers mistrust you when you try to ease their fears and will likely ignore the things you say . abusers often lash out in anger . an abuser might curse at you , yell at you , or blame you for problems over which you have little control . this anger can sometimes turn violent . you should never stay close to someone who harms you physically .
work your body . compliment her . ask her a few questions .

fully understand your reasons and are able to explain them to someone else . prepare yourself to talk about your reasons . but also realize you dont have to justify your reasons . breaking up with someone shouldnt be done on the spur of the moment . but you also shouldnt try to avoid it because youre scared of hurting your partner , or youre nervous about having the actual breakup conversation . once youve had the time to think your reasons through , and you know what youre going to say , its time to speak to your partner . part of your preparation should also be to think about how your partner is going to react . think about your responses to their reactions so you dont have to struggle with what to say . no matter what location you choose , it is kinder to do it in person . breaking up with someone via phone , email or text is disrespectful and hurtful . you wouldnt want someone to do that to you , so dont do that to them . you also need to consider how your partner is going to react to the breakup . you may want to choose a private location so you dont embarrass them if they get upset or angry . you dont have to humiliate someone to break up with them . breaking up with someone is a personal process , its not something you bring friends to . if you feel you need the support afterwards , make plans to meet up with your friends later . if you have a long - distance relationship with someone , and its impossible to get together in person to breakup , using the phone or something like skype is acceptable . breaking up with someone isnt an opportunity to

partner like youd want them to treat you . let your partner know that they still matter to you , and that theyre still a great person . list some of their awesome qualities to help boost their spirit

that youre prepared . youve had the chance to think things through and come up with responses . youve also had a chance to start processing your emotions . your partner hasnt . to them the breakup could be sudden andor a shock . as such , dont assume its going to be a quick and easy process . go into the conversation knowing you might need to listen to them plead , beg , complain , get angry or even be relieved . you cant walk away after youve told them youre breaking up , you need to hear them out as well . youve broken up with this person , now isnt the time to suddenly call , email and text them all night . its entirely possible they may never want to talk to you again . if you want to try to remain friends , its worth a try , but realize it might not work out . or it might not be the same type of friendship you had before you dated . after a few days consider sending them an email to ask if theyre okay . or saying ‘hi to them in the hallway when you pass by . dont ignore them if you see them , but you dont have to try to engage them if they ignore you . who you share your feelings with is up to you , but it should be someone you can trust to support you and keep your personal life private . hopefully you have a friend of family member whom you feel you can trust , and you can speak to them about how you feel . if not , consider talking to a counsellor at school . this trusted and supportive person may be able to help out , or they can provide you with advice on who can . whatever youre going through , realize you dont have to go through it alone . crying gets a bad rap . theres nothing wrong with crying because you feel sad , upset or even angry . crying can actually make you feel better because it releases stress hormones through tears . allowing yourself to cry on your own terms will help prevent getting upset at an inopportune time , like in the middle of class or a baseball game . going through a breakup can be extremely stressful and emotionally draining . you have enough to deal with on an emotional level , you cant allow yourself to get physically unhealthy as well . this means you need to remember to continue eating properly , getting enough sleep and exercising regularly . taking care of yourself physically will help you get through your emotional trauma successfully . once youve had the chance to express your emotions initially , keep yourself busy . continue to do the things you enjoy , like reading , going to a movie , baking , etc . you might need to take a moment every now and again to have a good cry or get a hug from a friend , but once thats over , get back to being busy . consider this as an opportunity to redecorate your room or learn how to play the guitar . focus your energy on something productive as often as you can . you arent going to feel better instantly , its going to take a little time before you get back to your ‘normal self , but thats okay . take the time you need , dont rush yourself . but do realize that you will feel better eventually . these bad feelings will not last forever , no matter how bad they feel . each person recovers from a breakup at different speeds . dont compare your healing process to others , you arent them , and they arent you . no matter how the breakup happened , whether youre the one who initiated the breakup , or someone broke up with you , youre still an awesome and lovable person . breakups happen for a whole number of reasons , and they are almost never because of only one person . dont blame yourself for what happened , and dont assume you deserve to feel badly . if you start thinking negatively , take a moment to stop and think of all the awesome things about yourself . write them down if you have to . put sticky notes on your mirror to remind you how awesome you are . as corny as it sounds , it does help unfortunately some people get so bogged down in the emotion of a breakup that they look for unnatural ways to make themselves feel better . and in some cases , those unnatural ways can be drugs and alcohol . this is obviously a dangerous thing to do and its not a road you want to go down . if you notice yourself thinking about drugs or alcohol , or you feel tempted to do things that are ‘out of the ordinary for yourself , get help . dont be afraid to tell your parents , friends or a trusted teacher that you need to talk to someone . it is worth the effort to stop yourself before something truly destructive happens . its no ones fault , and no one did it on purpose , but sometimes after a period of time both sides just realize they werent meant for each other and its time to move on . after getting to know someone , you might start to realize they arent the person you thought they were , or that they dont share the same interests and values as you . heartache can happen when one of the people realizes the relationship is over before the other . even if youre the one who notices first and decides to call it off , its still not your fault . youre simply doing whats right for you , and in the long - run , whats right for both of you . seeing someone from a distance , or even knowing them as an acquaintance , doesnt give you a lot of insight into who that person is . spending more time with them in a relationship sheds light on a lot of things you wouldnt have known about beforehand . and sometimes these things you learn about the other person are not things you hoped for . you might find that the person you thought you could get along with wants to do nothing but argue with you , or maybe theyre too protective or overbearing . it might have been impossible to know this before you starting dating . probably one of the more painful reasons people breakup is because one of the people in the relationship finds themselves in love with another person . hopefully this person broke - up with their partner before they acted on their feelings for this other person , but that doesnt always happen . if youre the one who has fallen for someone else , respect your existing partner enough to breakup with them before you cheat on them . its okay to fall for someone else , but acting on those feeling while leading someone else on is dishonourable .

you cant move on until youve accepted that you and your former partner are no longer together and that the relationship isnt coming back . dont call , text , email , or otherwise contact or talk to your ex . it will only make it harder for you to get yourself together and move on . there may be a time when you and your former partner can be friends , but that time is definitely not now . absolutely under no circumstances visit their facebook page . unfriend them and stay away . also stay away from his or her close friends . it may be difficult if you have mutual friends , but for the time being , stick close to your own friends . youll avoid getting pulled back into any drama and hearing about what your ex is up to . go through and get rid of any mementos , photos , or other reminders of your former relationship . you cant move on if youre still clinging to remnants of the relationship , and you definitely wont move on if you still attach sentiment to them . hanging out in places the two of you used to go will make it harder for you to move on . you may be able to begin going back to them eventually , but for now , stay away . recognize the feelings that you still have about the person andor relationship , whether its anger , sadness , disappointment , longing , or resentment . dont try to hide from the feelings . instead , allow yourself to feel them fully so if you need to wallow , then wallow . accept your feelings so that then you can begin to move on . think critically about why the relationship ended , including mistakes you made as well as mistakes your ex - partner may have made . use what youve learned from the mistakes each of you made to begin building strategies to avoid similar missteps in the future . using healthy outlets will not only help you deal with your feelings but also improve your own well - being at the same time . beating yourself up or becoming self - destructive will make the situation infinitely worse and make the process of moving on much longer and harder . let your friends and family be your resource - - talk to them and let them be there for you . going running , hitting the gym hello , punching bag , taking a hike , joining a yoga class . all excellent options . write - - but dont send - - an angry letter . let all your ugliest feelings out and let yourself have some catharsis . but do not send the letter . it will make your situation worse rather than better and stop you from moving on . look for a strong role model you can look up to as well as take inspiration from . perhaps a friend or character or public figure who got back up better than ever after getting knocked down . the more you can take inspiration from people who have stumbled and caught themselves , the easier it will be to envision yourself doing the same . its harder to pine for an ex when youre seeking new partners . but make sure to keep your feelings about your ex and the relationship out of your new dating scene . avoid bringing up or grumbling about your ex with a date - - dont let the old relationship taint your new ones .

how to leave a destructive relationship
sometimes , a relationship will go sour . can you determine why figuring out what went wrong doesnt mean youll fix it , as sometimes its not able to be fixed , but identifying what makes you feel this way can be a huge help . do most conversations that start off friendly or romantic end in fights does your friend or partner not listen to what you say or take you seriously do they mock you , belittle you , put you down , or tell you that they wish you didnt exist do they play mind games or manipulate you , and expect you to know something that you have no way of knowing , such as what theyre thinking do they physically or sexually abuse you , or threaten to do so does the relationship as a whole just cause you to feel drained , exhausted , worthless , or like youre trying so hard for something that isnt giving you results theres never a relationship thats always happy and cheerful , and healthy friendships or relationships do have the occasional argument here and there . in addition , stressful situations and hard times can make a person act like they arent themselves and cause you two to get into fights . however , theres a difference between a fight here and there , and a destructive relationship . if the number of days where youre fighting are outnumbering the days where you arent , or if your friend or partner is causing you serious physical or emotional harm , its time to think about whether the relationship is healthy . for example , if youve identified that many of the conversations end in fights , but nothing else , its quite possible that the relationship is just in a bad place that may fade . however , if the fights contain verbal or physical abuse , manipulation or mind games , or leave you feeling depressed and like the relationship isnt worth saving , then it may be time to cut the relationship short . if you have determined that the relationship is abusive , and you tell your friend or partner that you wish to leave , they may manipulate you into staying by begging , crying , or threatening you or others . dont fall for it . yes , the person can change like they say theyre going to , but whats the likelihood of them doing it recall all the times this person made you feel bad about yourself . if theyve made you feel bad or harmed you many times , theyre not likely to stop because they know you wont leave . on the flip side , if you are the one belittling or hurting your partner , then its best to cut the relationship short yourself . dont tell them that its their fault . be honest . tell them that you dont think its safe for you to be friends with them or dating them , and you need to cut contact in order to try and work on yourself . then do it . dont transfer this behavior to somebody else . if your friend or partner actively prevents you from leaving , such as by taking important things like car keys or money , or threatening serious harm to you , get to a safer place such as a parents house if possible and call authorities . if the relationship is that destructive , theres no way of getting out safely by yourself . if you have determined the relationship is destructive , keep an eye out for what is commonly called the cycle of abuse - the honeymoon period , the tension , and then the blowup . its very common for a destructive relationship to have this pattern with one or both parties , as they can be rather emotional . depending on how destructive this relationship is and if you and the person live together , you may not be able to do it face - to - face . while a face - to - face discussion is best for other situations , it isnt worth the risk if you suspect it wont go over well . if your friend or partner is significantly abusive , do not do this face to face . they likely know you well enough to manipulate you into staying around , and if they cant trick you , you may end up getting emotionally hurt or physically injured . try to avoid over the phone if the person is verbally abusive , as well . if you live with this person and suspect theyll stop you from leaving the house , wait until they leave and call someone you trust to come get you . however , if the situation is desperate , you can try going to a neighbors and phoning a person you trust there , or the police . depending on how you plan to leave , you will have to know how youll do it and how to stay calm . if the relationship is destructive and the other party agrees that its best for it to end , it may be calm , but it may not end calmly . think of how the person may respond and come up with answers to those responses . however , keep in mind that they may throw you for a loop by asking a question or saying something you didnt expect from them . remember to stay calm , no matter what they said to you . if you cant end things face - to - face , its best not to end it officially at all , as this requires leaving something behind . even something like a note or a voice memo can work against you if the person takes it to someone else to try and track you . if youre ending it face - to - face , approach the person . tell them calmly , i dont think this relationship is healthy anymore . i think its best if we go our separate ways . be aware that theyll likely be upset by this , but stay calm regardless of what they do . if the person is not verbally abusive , but is physically abusive , do not carry it out face - to - face . however , a lot of people who are physically abusive will also be verbally abusive , so in this case it may just be best to flee without telling the person if you fear getting hurt . if you dont live with this person , it may be easier to get away from them , since its possible you may only have to see them at school or work . however , if you live with the person , you will need to make plans on how to get away if youve deemed it necessary . you dont necessarily have to move into a new home or apartment , but staying with another friend or a family member will suffice . do not leave any traces of where you will be going . if you are discussing this with the person you plan to be staying with , discuss it in person or over a phone call so that you dont leave evidence in texts or letters that you will be leaving . dont write it in a journal or anywhere you suspect the person may look . if they suspect you will leave and want to prevent you from doing so , it will give them pointers as to where to wait for you or cause them to harm somebody . if you think this person is going to stalk you , file a restraining order . while a piece of paper may not do much to deter the stalker , it will be evidence to the police that this person is harassing you . if the person pleads with you that they can change , dont believe them - theres a reason youre leaving , after all . why would you be leaving the relationship if you didnt feel it was destructive if the person threatens to commit suicide over you leaving , make it clear that you dont control what they do , and believe it yourself . remember that you dont have control over anyone that isnt you . even if you know the relationship was destructive and extremely unhealthy , you may grieve the loss . let yourself grieve , but dont let the grief consume your life . after at least a week , try to get your life back in order . do not return to the relationship , no matter what youre feeling about it . if you find yourself remembering all the good parts and thinking that maybe it can work if you just change this one piece of it , recall what made you want to leave in the first place and how often it would happen . do you really want to be friends with or dating someone who doesnt treat you like youre worth all that you are after youve had some time away from the relationship , find something to occupy your time . you can go to schoolwork , your jobs work , resume an old hobby or pick up a new one , or anything else you want to try . do not take up destructive habits . if you begin to drink excessively , use drugs , or begin injuring yourself , then get help immediately . maybe while in the destructive relationship , you abandoned old friends or family members . try to reach out to them and apologize for shutting them out . if you want , make plans to see them , and make sure to have fun while doing so keep in mind that depending on how you treated your friends , they may no longer trust you or want to be your friend . if they forgive you , dont jump right back into how things used to be - take some time to rebuild the friendship and trust in it . depending on how destructive the relationship was and how long it lasted , you may be scared of opening up to people again , or feel like what they said about you was true . however , remember that not everyone will treat you poorly , and you are not somebody elses words or actions . you are you , and what happened in your past does not make you undesirable , dirty or worthless . keep yourself open to new people . if you feel constantly sad , empty , guilty , or worthless , or if you feel anxious or jumpy all the time , try to see a therapist . its possible that a destructive relationship can cause mental disorders , such as depression . if you begin engaging in self - destructive habits , such as self - injury , reckless driving , reckless spending of money , or abusing alcohol or drugs , get help immediately . nobody should make you behave in ways that are destructive to your health .
know the limits of your knowledge . learn from others . find out what they want . decide how to respond . dont encourage their behavior . cultivate allies .

at the end of any relationship , there will be a period of grieving . you have suffered a loss , and so for a while , you are going to feel deeply sad . accept and allow this . take some time to cry and process what has happened . with major emotional experiences , psychologists say that our firsts are usually more memorable and continue to have emotional power throughout our lives . this means its going to take some time to get over your ex . it also means you will probably never forget him . rather than trying to forget , just accept your feelings as they are . by the same token , while emotional firsts are powerful , it is possible to exaggerate their importance . in our culture , losing ones virginity is often viewed as a major turning point in life , but for most people it really isnt a defining moment . after youve had a few days to grieve , try to put things in perspective . you are the same person you were before you lost your virginity . keep in mind , too , that you get to define what the important romantic and sexual moments in your life are . if you dont want to look back at this as the sexual experience of your life , you dont have to . youve had one experience with one person , but a different type of sexual experience with someone else may be more special later . the big moment for you may not have happened yet . for many people , when a relationship ends , there is a tendency to think negative thoughts about themselves . this is especially true if you are not the person who chose to end the relationship . these feelings of rejection can lead to negative self - talk . if you feel rejected by your ex , you might be telling yourself it happened because you are not good enough or not attractive enough . you might be telling yourself you wont find happiness again . if youve lost your virginity to someone and then been rejected , these ideas can be hard to push aside . if you notice yourself thinking these thoughts , try to replace them with more positive ideas . your ex may not want to be with you anymore , but others will . her rejection of you doesnt make you a lesser person in any way . when youre ready to start thinking about the future , there are two realities you should try to keep in mind . first , you will find happiness again . second , you and your ex must go your own ways . try to be realistic about your possibilities for future happiness . you were happy before this happened , and you will be happy again . in your life , you will love other people . try not to dwell on thoughts about getting back together with your ex someday . young love is powerful , but in most cases , doesnt last . you and your ex are both at a point in your lives where you are changing quickly and still discovering who you are . these changes usually push young people apart . its no ones fault , and all you can do about it is move on with your life and allow your ex to do the same . for your own sake , try to limit the amount of time you spend grieving your ex . after a few days , if you can start setting your grief apart from other parts of your life , you can start to get past it . for example , you might decided that you are going to spend no more than an hour a day grieving your loss . maybe youll set aside two blocks of 30 minutes where you allow yourself to really feel the pain , but after that , go do something else that will keep your mind occupied . after a while , try cutting down to two 15 minute blocks . some people find that putting their pain in an imaginary box that they open on a routine schedule starts to make that pain boring . eventually , this can help you to lose interest in these sad feelings and get on with life .

as hard as it may be , when you are trying to get over the intense feelings you are currently experiencing , the best thing you can do is put as much distance between you and your ex as possible . avoid seeing him , and dont call , text , or otherwise contact your ex . this doesnt mean you cant ever be friends , but as long as you still have strong romantic feelings towards that person , spending time with your ex is going to make it harder for you to move on by bringing up powerful memories again and again . take some time , and if later youre ready to be friends and still want that , then give it a try . if you go to school with your ex , this can be difficult , especially if you have classes together . theres no need to be rude or pretend your ex doesnt exist , but avoid situations in which you have to interact . if necessary , ask him to do the same . you dont have to go through this difficult time alone . find a trusted friend or family member to share your feelings with . its okay to ask for help . psychologists have found that , even though it may seem like talking about your ex brings up more feelings of sadness or rejection , people who talk about their breakups regularly get over them more quickly . losing your virginity is a sensitive topic , so make sure to confide in someone who you can trust not to judge you or share your personal feelings with others . although you probably will never forget your ex , or losing your virginity to her , you also dont want to be reminded of this all the time . put any objects you have that remind you of her somewhere you wont see them . this includes any gifts your ex gave you , pictures of the two of you together , or anything else along those lines . some people decide to throw away or destroy these mementos , especially when they feel angry or rejected . some people end up regretting that decision later . a better idea is to put them away in a box where you just wont see them . after youve gotten over your ex and are feeling less emotional , you can decide if you want to keep any of those items . doing some private writing is a great way to process your emotions . get a journal and use it to write about what youre feeling . you can use it like a diary , or write poems , stories , or songs about how youre feeling . this can be as valuable as talking to another person , and can be a place to vent feelings that you think might be too private to share with anyone . if good things happen that make you feel better about life , write about them in your journal too . this can help you start focusing more on positive changes in your life . after a breakup , many people struggle with who they are . even in a short relationship , its easy to start thinking of your connection to the other person as a key part of your identity . getting past this means rediscovering who you are without that person . this is a great time in your life to think about your own goals and to try new things . maybe youll take up a new hobby , spend more time with friends , start working out or playing sports , or make some life change youve been wanting to make for a long time . focusing on the present and creating new positive experiences will help you move past your feelings for your ex .

relationship . i believe youre having a relationship with him as well . i wanted to talk to you about it . dont confront your boyfriend on his lunch break or right before you need to sleep at night . you will need adequate time to talk about what has happened . try to find a time when he is not busy with other tasks , or make time on his calendar if necessary . you could say , do you have a good

know you know and find out any relevant details that have not been revealed . if you are certain he is cheating , you could say , i have evidence that you are cheating on me . this is more difficult for him to deny than your asking , are you cheating on me if you are pretty sure hes cheating , but not 100 , you could say , i believe you are cheating on me . this feels more declarative and firm than i think . pause and let him respond . it is his job to explain himself . if he denies an affair , present evidence that proves hes lying , if you have it . if you do not have firm evidence , you

relationship . good questions might include how long has this been going on are you in love with her and what does this mean for you and me he may have cheated because he wanted to break up but was

or not . if he wants to stay together that doesnt mean you need to want that , too . if you find you do want to move forward , though , youll need to understand if you have a willing partner or not . does what you learned about his cheating make you want to move forward with him dont make a decision in the heat of the moment . if he presses you for a snap decision , buy yourself some time . you could say , im not ready to make that decision right now . i need some time to think . talking long walks or talking with friends are great ways to work through your feelings . if you do not wish to move forward with the relationship , you will need to break up with your boyfriend . find a good time to talk in person . you do not need to provide an elaborate explanation or justify how you feel . you can simply end things respectfully . for example , you might say , ive thought this over , and because you cheated on me , i dont want to be in a relationship with you anymore . deliver your news in a calm way . try not to be vindictive , even if youre hurt . just because you were not treated well by your boyfriend does not mean you need to stoop to his level . if your boyfriend has violent tendencies , be sure to let a friend or relative know where you will be breaking up and when . it can also help to break up in a public place with other people around . you could say something to them like , im breaking up with mark today at 3pm in the park . if im not home by 4pm , please call the police . after your relationship ends , you may be full of mixed emotions . take some time to focus on yourself and restore your self - esteem . it may be helpful to reconnect with people and activities you enjoy that fell by the wayside during your relationship . for example , if you used to love painting , you might join a neighborhood painting class . the idea is just to connect with yourself as an individual rather than as part of your old couple . it is helpful to take all the time you need to heal before entering into a new relationship . take the time you need to strengthen your friendships and relationship with family , and learn to take care of yourself before you start a new relationship . if you decide you want to work through the cheating and continue with the relationship , it will be important to tell your boyfriend what he needs to do to gain your trust back . make a list of all the concrete actions he can take to begin repairing some of the damage hes done . for example , if the person he cheated with is someone you both know , you may need him to stop seeing them even as a friend . or lets say your boyfriends cheating got started through late night drinking . maybe he will need to come home by a given time for a month to begin making you feel as though you can trust him again . your boyfriend should understand that you might need more communication from him than usual to start building trust again . it can be helpful to have predetermined check - ins when you are apart , so you dont start to get worried . you could say to him , i know youre going out with your friends tonight . can you text me after dinner and then again when youre getting in the cab home so i know what to expect telling one another how you are feeling as you work through the aftermath of this affair will keep you connected . it will also enable him to act in a way that is considerate of your emotions going forward . if a disagreement about getting married spurred the cheating , for example , you should make an effort to discuss that part of your relationship . you might say , i understand that you felt unwanted when i rebuffed your proposal . i love you very much , and i do want to marry you one day . i just need to go slow right now , though . setting new relationship ground rules helps build trust that your boyfriend will do what he says he is going to do . this is especially critical as he is telling you he wants to recommit to the relationship . now , more than ever , he needs to prove that he will follow through on his intent . for example , if your partner cheated through an online dating site , you might set a rule that every time you come into the room and he is on the computer , you can look over his shoulder to see what hes doing . this temporary power imbalance can help you restore trust in the relationship , and his small privacy concession shows a willingness to put you first . if you and your boyfriend both want to work on the relationship but dont know where to begin , it can be helpful to have a third party mediate the difficult emotions related to cheating . a couples counselor can provide constructive feedback and exercises to do at home that will help you both build trust again . a counselor can also help you address underlying issues in the relationship that may have contributed to the cheating in the first place , too .
