Everything is going great, and WHAM. It’s like a bomb goes off, and the bizarre behavior begins.

It’s not too smart to have your first date in anyone’s living room.

Lots of ideas put across in the movies are really screwed up, as you’re already aware (Cinderella, anyone?).

Keep in mind that your best friend isn’t the one in love with your guy, but she does love you.

Set all the love and history aside for a second. What exactly is it about your ex that you want back in your life?

Make sure you figure out the real reasons you want your ex back first. Is it loneliness? Fear? Or that you really miss him and want him back?

Keep in mind that what people portray their relationships to be like, as well as what they’re portrayed as in the movies and on TV, are just that: fantasy.

“But I love him!” makes me cringe. To this I say, “So what?” Lots of people love hard drugs, but that isn’t exactly healthy either.
