HELP????

Do you think that meeting someone new will help a person get over a broken heart?

I recently got my heart broken, and I was told that I need to branch out and meet new people and maybe find a new guy. Please let me know how you feel about this... I need help.

You can, but I wouldn't recommend it.

It does help you get over them, but only if you develop a thing for them in a short time, which is quite difficult. Its definitely an option, but it's not the ONLY option.

Time heals all wounds, and its extremely hard, I know, i've been there, but it does.

What you need is Time and physical distance from whoever broke your heart. Falling for someone else is by far the easiest option, but it's also hard to implement.

Most people just have to do it the hard way.

What are your passions in life? Sometimes focusing on a passion helps.

You should also be careful not to fall for someone just to "rebound" from the heartbreak. I did that once (I didn't even understand the concept of rebounding, at the time, or I would have never let it happen.)

Long story short, it made me feel better, but broke the heart of the guy I rebounded onto. Because when I started to feel better, I felt less and less into him. Not something I'm proud of. Definitely something I would do over differently, if I could.

So I would advise giving yourself time to heal on your own before you try to get into another relationship.

Best way to get over your old bf is to get under a new one... LOL

JK.... it's good to have a period of mourning. But then you have to get up and dry your tears and get back out there. Doesn't mean you have to run right out and fall in love. But get out of the house do some fun stuff make new friends. It will be good for you.

That's what I thought, but I've never been dumped before this time, so I didn't know what to do. Your advice really means a lot to me. I am just trying to get over it, and my friends are pushing me to get back out there.

all I can say is, try to minimize the time you feel down by it so that you can quickly move on to other things in life.

Yes, I do believe that meeting someone new will help a person get over a broken heart. It helps you to forget about your previous relationship(s) and to focus on the guy in front of you (new guy) and to start a new relationship and future with him. Also, it helps if you think to yourself all of the things that went wrong in your previous relationship to prevent those mistakes from happening again, to have a better and more successful and happier relationship with your new man.

But I honestly believe it all depends on the who you are as a person.
Some people solve their broken hearts by take things slow and enjoy being single and living the single life! They solve it by having fun, whether it's with their family or closest friends. They celebrate you being single, go to clubs or bars, hang out, have fun and lots of laughs. Enjoying yourself and the single life, not worrying about your ex, is a way of moving on.
While other people sovle their heart breaks by right away finding a new guy. They go from relationship to relationship. Having that companion to them might be a comfort issue. They may find their fun in flirting with other men and having a great time with them is a way of moving on for them. Focusing on the new guy, helps them to forget about the old.

I hope I helped you somewhat. Things will get better, I promise you that. It'll just take time, I found time can heal most anything. But try not to think about the break up, be strong and remember life is too short to live sadly. Go out and have fun and enjoy yourself!! !

no, all your doing by meeting someone new is using him or her as the rebound from your last relationship. you need to get over it first and move on before seeking out another relationship.

^ This.

Thank you to everyone who gave me advice, I really appreciate it and I know what I'm going to do now. I am just going to enjoy myself and get over it before I try to start a new relationship, because I don't want to hurt anyone the way I was hurt. You guys rule.
