I just wrote to an advice column asking how to get over my most recent breakup.
In being completely consumed with myself, I have of course sought out advice on how to get over a breakup from many sources.
Bartender friend: "You just need to get laid"
High School friend: "I'm thinking you're probably gonna have one more crappy relationship before you meet the right guy"
Sister: "get out of the house and do things that you enjoy"
Me to other friends: "every woman goes through the 5 stages of loss (that is basically: sadness, anger, drinking, acceptance, then ready to date again)"
I am hopeful I can get official advice to add to the list. Who knows, maybe I will actually get a response.
