OKAY, LISTEN UP, BECAUSE I AM A FUCKING BREAKUP PRO:
1. Exercise. Everyday. Every time you feel depressed, go straight to the gym and use the extra energy to fuel yourself. Eat healthier so you have extra energy. You'll be able to sleep better at night during these tough typically sleepless days, the endorphins will start peaking, and you'll soon have a healthy glow that will attract new tail in no time. This is critical.
2. Anything that reminds you of her goes in a big box and gets tucked somewhere you can't see it. Like your buddy's attic. Don't look at it until after next Xmas.
3. Don't look back. The truth is that after the initial breakup, men tend to waffle in indecision, women tend not to...they've made a decision and they usually stick to it. Nonetheless, they still feel loss, so when she's seemingly indecisive and feeding you post-breakup emotional talking bullshit, you're thinking about drums, guitar, sex with her sister, whatever...not her. You're not getting sucked up in the vortex...you're better than her.
4. Maintain radio silence. It will happen eventually anyway...take action now. You can't be friends right now. There has to be silence for at least a few months befor eyou can take the step to be truly civil. Save time and pain, jump into your future.
5. Jump into your future. You wanna play drums or guitar? Pick one and do it, dude. Throw yourself into work and bettering yourself...you'll make ridiculous strides because the emotional strain leads you to creativity. Kinda like a fucked up muse.
6. Take your time getting back into the game. If you go falling in love with the next woman who lets you in her pants, you're going to wind up in a bad place quickly and that usually means on her front doorstep. The best advice I ever got was, "Don't get into another relationship for another 2 years." When you focus so much of your time on relationships, which are work no matter how easy it is, you're missing out on something else you could be doing. Right now, that "something else" is far more important than loving anyone other than yourself.
7. When you do get back into the game, be yourself and DO NOT act a part to impress the next girl you fall for. When the sex gets dull, you revert to your previously unglamorous self and then she dumps you. Being yourself helps you avoid recurrences of this tragic ending. I.e. if you live to surf, surf a ton, hang out at surf shops, comb your eyebrows, and the right surfer chick will kiss your feet when the time is right. At which time, you will gladly reciprocate.
8. Be proud, and don't go back to the well. Watch Swingers and CQ, and take as many lessons as you can from them.
9. Be a badass. Seriously, even if you're a total wimp with linguini arms, start listening to more Hip-Hop and Ghetto Rap, and pay attention to the words. Maybe even consider tinting your windows. If you don't have a car, buy some new clothes or something, I don't know. You won't be bogged down with mushy love songs, you'll be rolling with your homies, and you'll find new toughness from within.
10. The best revenge is to live well. Don't let anything or anyone keep you from this all-important principal.
