    10 Ways To Get Over Heartbreak in 1 Day

    I once had a friend tell me, “I like getting dumped. At least it means I tried.”

    I met a guy, I tried, and I got dumped. I really liked this guy. I never once thought he wouldn’t want to make things work with me. I was crying. I had to get on a flight home. I sat there in the airport terminal dreading the emotions I was going to have to suffer through until I got over him. Disappointment. Loneliness. Confusion. Sadness. More crying.  Then I thought “STOP.” I don’t want to suffer through that. I want my life to be happy. And I created a plan. I called it “How I’m Going To Get Over Heartbreak In 1 Day.”

    I chose “1 Day” because I didn’t think he deserved to take any more than 1 day of happiness out of my life. Life is short. I don’t want to waste it being unhappy. I have to protect my happiness. If I lose it, I have to get it back as quickly as possible.

    So these are the 10 things I did to “Get Over Heartbreak in 1 Day”…

    Welcome back to What I Love About My City—a series in which our favorite single girls dish on everything from the best places for a single girls weekend to the secret spots only the locals know about. If you’re thinking about moving or just planning your next trip, we’ll fill you in with all the essential details on the cities our crew knows best.

    Originally from San Rafael, California, Sarah Walsh is a hair, makeup and food enthusiast living in New Orleans and loving every second. I had the pleasure of meeting Sarah in high school in San Francisco. She was a swimmer. I was a dancer. What has kept us connected since 2005 despite never being in the same city since (and aside from the outbreak of social media in our generation) is our obsession with and absurd ability to quote the TV show FRIENDS. A natural long-distance friendship was inevitable. I have yet to meet someone my age who, like Sarah, is so connected to a new city and feels indubitably that it has been and always will be the place she calls “home.” This is Sarah’s NOLA, and after hearing her vivacity in talking about this fair city, it is now on my shortlist of new places to visit.

If you’ve been allotted a guest, here are guidelines for characteristics to look for and different date ideas to find your chosen One.

    Chances are, since you don’t have an automatic wedding plus one in mind, you are a) not married, b) not dating someone, or c) not interested in anyone. Fear not; you have more options than you think… unless your 1,500 friends on Facebook are all people you Friend-ed online on the first day of college then proceeded to lock yourself in your dormitory cave without human interaction for four years. And if that’s the case, refer to my post on meeting new friends after college.
