Get off your butt and meet people

[phishermanjohn]

Go to the bar, have drinks, meet new people, flirt, maybe pick-up some strange. Re-establish what you did before. It makes me feel better, try it.

Um, what I did before? You mean go to the bar, get trashed, wake up somewhere strange with a stranger and swear never to do it again? No thanks.

I hear ya... besides, it ain't the 80's anymore, right?

i totally hear you. we have to have respect for ourselves in order to heal 100%, a random hookup will not make you feel better in the end. it will only make you feel worse and delay any healing.

It certainly isn't.

[FriendnorFoe]

I dunno it might be, I still listen to tears for fears and the smiths

maybe pick-up some strange.

 

Some strange what??? Alcohol and random sex are a very bad combination, imo.

Dude, I hear ya. Not sure everyone does, but I see you point. Go out, make new friends, have some fun.

Both of my past girlfriends have coincidentally fallen into my lap. I don't really know what to do now, since I don't have a lot of opportunities for coincidence anymore ;/

 

I've never searched haha.

There are far worse combinations.

There sure are. Like herpes and pregnancy. There's a doozy of a package deal.

Seems several folks seized up on the "get some strange" comment of OPs, which was not the crux of the very good advice to get out and socialize instead of sitting at home moping after a breakup.

[jcrisph]

I agree with the OP....meet new people, which i think the OP was trying to tell people. Just get out and go for it.

Yes, very true. But I could never find it advisable to tell someone to try and mask their pain with booze and sex. It can only turn out disappointing at best. But getting out and socially interacting is far better and more healing than sitting around and wallowing, to be sure.
