3. You cannot press ‘cancel’ if it once was ‘love’

There is no off switch to your feelings and emotions. It might take quite some time to get over your previous relationship. The stronger your love was, the more time you will need to forget each other. Do not give your ex false hopes. Be wise and do not hook up if your ex sends you signals trying to make you believe that he is interested in renewing your contact. Falling back into the usual routine is very easy. If you do not want to go through the same drama over again, then cool down and move on with your new life. Meet your friends, make new acquaintances and entertain yourself. You need some distraction in order to remember what it is like to live on your own. You’ll feel lonely at time, but it will not last forever. Let it all go the way it is supposed to go.

4. The green-eyed monster

We do not date friends. Right? We date those we want to be intimate with. The people we go on a date with are more than friends. What would you say if your date suggested you should become friends? We believe that would be awkward to hear and very hard to do. If you once loved the person, you cannot become that person’s friend just because you want it so. However, it is possible to stay friends even if you were very close in the past. You are lucky if after the breakup you stay friends. It’s great to know that neither of you feels jealousy or hatered.
