So, this is my second installment of "A Piece of Advice". It's been awhile, hasn't it?
Well, for this advice it's going to be about knowing when you're ready to move on. :)
So, you just got out of a relationship, right? Now you're trying to find someone new.
Just make sure you're ready. I mean, REALLY ready.
Don't go and think you're ready only to see your ex later on at the mall and have old feelings come up.
That will only ruin your chances of being with this new guy that you found.
It will make you question whether this new guy is going to actually do what he says and make you happy.
Just telling you guys now, this isn't my own experience. It's my nephew's. He's as old as I am so I just call him my cousin. Whatever. Anyway, he pretty much got set up with this girl who is 3 years older than we are which would make her 23. Since he has never been in a serious relationship or anything close for that matter, me and my niece tried to coach him through everything. His end result being that the girl ended up seeing her ex and confessing to my "cousin" saying that she may still have feelings for him. Her ex cheated on her. Now, I have no idea what her definition of cheating is or what their history is but yeah.... if that were me, I would've looked the other way and continue on my way. What really made me mad was that she told my "cousin" to give her 2 reasons why she should give him a chance. (Like what the f@&#?! That's something you say to your ex not someone who like you.)
Long story short, my "cousin" broke it off with the girl pretty much saying that he isn't going to waste his time with someone who can't make up their mind. (Good for you, bro.) This girl even tried to make him feel bad by sending him a text about how she feels. (Okay, that's a good thing, right?) No, she text-ed him what sounded like a poem you can find online.
B!t$^, if you're trying to send something deep and meaningful, at least put it into your own words.
My piece of advice for all you girls out there, make sure that you are ready to move on and that no old feelings will come up when you suddenly see your ex. Before you decide you're ready to move on, think about why you guys broke up in the first place and why you want someone else to be your boyfriend. If you want, you can also just become friends with your ex or even enemies. Don't string someone along saying that you love them or whatever only to tell them to give you reasons why you should give them a chance!
Know that: "Give me 2 reasons why I should give you a chance," is a line you say to your ex when they're trying to beg for your forgiveness. Never and I mean NEVER say that to your potential boyfriend. Or else you just lost your chance to finding happiness and discovering something with someone new.
Sorry I didn't write the whole story, it's just kind of confusing and LONG. So bare with me and take my word for it. Yeah, this turned out to be more of a rant than a post that's supposed to give advice. Also I'm sorry about the overflow of words with a lack of pictures. (I'll do better next time.)
Hope this helped or entertained you in some way.
