Finally Free…Wanna Mingle…Don’t know where to start? Sabby to the Rescue

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Buff State chapter.


I recently broke up with my boyfriend of a month.  It did not hurt at all for me, but I think it hurt him.  I am ready to move on and date other people but I am afraid of hurting his feelings and him thinking of me as a bad person.  Do I tell him how I truly feel or secretly creep until it is an appropriate time for me to date a new guy openly?

Hey Cece, here is a song suggestion of the week that kind of fit your situation

            The end of any relationship is hard for one of the people involved if not both.  And since you broke up with him he probably still feels sore and confused about how to go about seeing new people or even dating again (even though it was only a month)  You have to look at how the relationship was before you two became an item; did you know him personally?  Were you friends?  Think back and see any patterns that might help you to your decision.  If he is a good guy, he will be supportive and want you to be happy, even if it is with someone else.  Unless he is the jealous type where in that case you have to lay down the law and make it clear to him that you are no longer interested and are ready to pursue new ventures.  Hard as it may be, honesty is always the best policy; you would not want him finding out your dating someone new through his friends.  Just be straightforward, kind, and explain how you feel.  In the end, all should be resolved and you should be living a happy new lifestyle.

Good luck!

Sabby!
