Free Love Relationship Advice

OK, you were dumped, now what do you do when you run into your ex with someone new after they’ve broken up with you?

There are three options when you run into our ex with someone new, you can

- run

- hide

- make your presence known

While ducking and running may be your first impulse – try instead to use the opportunity to your advantage. How?

Simple… do everything you can to appear VERY normal, calm, cool and collected. Why? Nearly everyone describes their ex (especially a recent ex) as “crazy”, “nuts”, “off their rocker” – or in some way strange or abnormal to our friends. It makes us feel better and helps us to cope with the breakup. And trust me, our exes say the same things to their friends too. Here’s your chance to prove them wrong– by appearing very normal.

Here’s what you cannot do:

1) Do not cry or act like a victim. Poor, poor pitful me isn’t going to attract them back. People do not respect, nor are they attracted to, people who act weak, depressed and miserable.

2) Do not for one moment consider confronting your ex by getting into a fight with them – or by pointing out what terrible error they made breaking up with you. What? Do you really think you can debate or argue them back?

3) And do not even think about creating a coincidence by ‘accidentally’ running into them. Your ex, not to mention everyone else, will know exactly what you’re doing and all you’ll succeed at — is looking like that “crazy” ex they told everyone you were. Or worse… a desperate, obsessed, stalker.
