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.
