Great guide..About me, i think that give the ex a chance to disappoint you, usually by showing you who they really are, not the candy-coated vision they showed you when you were so passionately in love. You'll discover that you're friends were right about them all along.

Talk it out with good friends.

Let your friends introduce you to other people. There are other people in the world who are also exceptional. Take it slow. Enjoy the journey.
