Is your ex dating someone else? NO PROBELMO.....

If you're in the unfortunate situation of being dumped by your girlfriend or boyfriend, one of the biggest sources of panic comes from the knowledge that your ex is already dating someone new.

First off, if you don't have any hard facts and you're only speculating based on some innocent comments you've seen on myspace or facebook, you should be aware that in many cases your paranoia may be unfounded. When you've been recently dumped, your emotions (and imagination) will be running wild, so don't get yourself unnecessarily worked up by running through a bunch of possible scenarios that only exist in your mind. Better yet, don't even look at your ex's profile!

On the other hand, you might hear from friends that your ex is indeed dating, in which case don't panic! The fact that your ex is dating, especially if it's right after your breakup, should not concern you too much, and here's why:

1. If this was a serious relationship, your ex's feelings for you aren't going to just go away overnight. Sure, it was them that ended the relationship, but it will take a while for them to "forget" about you (if they ever do).

2. Your ex is most likely dating to help them get over the pain of the breakup, commonly known as the "rebound relationship". The sooner they start dating after the breakup, the more likely this is. I don't think I need to tell you that your ex feeling emotional pain over the breakup is good news for you!

3. Rebound relationships rarely, I repeat, rarely ever work out. In fact, go ahead and assume that it's NOT going to work out. As mentioned already, they're dating to help them get over the breakup. They are using this person to ease their pain, not looking for their soul mate.

So how do you handle this? You've got to be completely cool about it! Your ex will be expecting you to have a reaction about them dating.....don't give it to them! Believe it or not, you being "ok" with them dating is actually going to make you more attractive. If you ever happen to actually meet the person your ex is dating, simply shake their hand and say "nice to meet you". By being a good sport about it, you will be setting yourself up as someone who deserves a second chance. So for now just be cool, and be patient!
