1. DELETE HIS NUMBER: This is always the first
move. As soon as the guy breaks their heart, the
next thing is to delete his number. But you know
what’s annoying about this? It doesn’t change
anything because we still have the ex’s phone
number stored up in our brains. Ask them in five
years, they still remember!
2. THEY BECOME RELATIONSHIP EXPERTS: I
know most people can relate to this. We all have
that friend who had a bad break up and next
thing, she thinks she has a BSc in dating.
Relationships become her favourite topic. She
suddenly wants to give relationship advice at the
slightest chance, even if hers did not work. She
knows how not to date a guy.
3. BECOME BORN AGAIN: When a guy whom they
loved so much breaks their hearts, next thing is
church. They forgot God was their companion
before the break up, but as soon as the break up
happens, they have the front row in church, their
voices would be the loudest during service and
would go to church 10 times a day if they have
to. Some Muslims even start wearing hijab. But
as soon as they find love again, it’s back to
square one. Thank God our God is a Merciful One!
4. TEAM SINGLE AND LOVING IT: Ladies always
have a sense of empowerment after a bad break-
up. You start to see things like, #
teamsingleandlovingit, #teamsingleforever etc
even though we are dying inside. We suddenly
have our little NGOs and become allergic to men.
I pity some toasters during this period because
they will smell pepper!
5. BINGE EATING AND DRINKING: It’s after a
break up that we remember that food is our best
friend. They would buy the big bowl of ice cream
and the biggest bowl of KFC chicken, or even buy
a bottle of alcohol and just drink to stupor. The
truth of the matter is, it doesn’t make us feel any
better but we do it anyway!
6. LISTEN TO DEPRESSING SONGS: They dig out
Adele’s album or watch ‘A walk to remember’ and
lay on their beds all day, crying their eyeballs out
after every scene. We all know how depressing
Adele’s ‘Someone like you’ is. Even when you are
in the best relationship, that song just has a way
of making you feel sad.
7. MOOD SWINGS: After a break up, everything
reminds you of the ex. One second they are
happy, the next you see the type of car your ex
owns, or smell his cologne somewhere and they
are sad. Most friends avoid these ones!
8. STALKING: This is a common factor amongst
the ladies. After a bad break up, they would stalk
their ex on Instagram, Facebook or even dial his
number a couple of times with a strange number.
Then when he says hello, they hang up or just
remain silent. We know some of you are guilty.
Women are the best CIA agents!
9. THEY NEVER SIT AT HOME: If you haven’t
noticed this, when a girl is single, she never stays
home. Even if she wants to, her friends will never
let her. She would always want to go out and
have
that fun she would never have had with her ex. It
is always a plus when they know that their ex
would be at the event. If their ex will be there,
they would kak up (dress to kill) just to make
sure he realises what he is missing. Besides, Mr.
Right can be found anywhere.
10. ONTO THE NEXT ONE: Most of the time, they
turn to good girl gone bad if they can’t handle
themselves. Those toasters she kept on hold
while she was dating become her besties and we
all know the things that go along with that.
I’m sure once in your lifetime, you have done at
least one of these listed above.
