Now some time has passed since your break-up; you have thought about it, talked about it and cried about it, but you are finally ready to take that next step. Now this can be trickery in deciding where you want to go from here. You might have had the opportunity to date someone else, rekindle your previous relationship, or a bit of both. No matter what there is a way to approach the situation.
New on the Dating Scene
Just emerging from a break-up, you have to be careful with how you enter the dating scene. Firstly try not to carry animosity or expectations from your old relationship. Sometime we compare what our “ex” did. That is HUGE error. Everyone is different and all thought what your old boyfriend did was fabulous; you are not giving the new person a chance. No matter where your next step maybe you have to remain open to possibilities.
Just as you don’t want to expect the same things your ex did, you also don’t want bring your emotional baggage along the way. Do not rant about how much you hate boys and how terrible they are. One, we all know you do not really hate them. Two, all guys are not the same everyone has their character flaws, ladies you are included. We hate to hear guys criticize girls as whole, so we do not need to do that either.
Love Relapse
Alright, your ex is back. “Re-dating” your boyfriend is almost like starting over, but better. It is new because you do not know what to expect at first, but your familiar with him already and can pass up the “getting to know you” part of dating. Despite, you still have to approach this situation carefully. You first have to be sure that you are ready to move past the devastation of the break-up and you both can reach a consensus about the past in order to move forward. Just as if you were starting over with someone else you cannot carry the old things into this new relationship with you old boyfriend.
Be patient with the evolvement of you two together post break-up. Sometime you might see glints of previous errors, but work them out things do not change overnight. As long as you all are dedicated to improvement it will all work out.
