Here are some tips on how to go on after someone has cheated on you:
• Find out the reason as to why you were cheated on. There must have been a reason as to why your partner cheated on you.
• Do not blame yourself for your partner’s infidelity. There must have been a problem with the relationship. But that does not give your partner enough reason to be unfaithful to you.
• Do not be bitter about the whole thing. It is normal to feel terrible and to blame yourself. But you will get nowhere beating yourself up.
• It is best to spend time with friends and family during this time. You need the space to think as to how you want to go about with this situation.
• There are instances wherein the partner who cheated would want to get back together with you.
• Take all the time you need to assess as to whether getting back with that person would be worth it.
• Remember that there has been history of your partner cheating. You would not want to experience the same pain all over again. But then, this could also be a trial that would bring you both closer.
• Try to think back on the relationship. Length of the relationship is not a determinant as to whether you need to let it work. The depth is a factor though.
• Trust your gut feeling. You will be able to tell if he is sincere about getting back with you and how he actually feels about you.
• Get all the details about the affair from your partner. Though it might hurt, it is important that you know the details. If you feel that he is holding back or lying, then do not bother to try to work on it.
• Get advice from other people, such as close friends, family members and even people whom the both of you know. It would be nice to know what other people think. They are more objective and can see a better picture.
• Once you make a decision, stick to it. If you want to make it work, then put full effort into making it work. Try to take in your mistakes and find a way to make things better.
• If you want to call it quits, then stand by it. Make sure that you keep yourself busy in order not to feel tempted to keep in touch.
• It is best that you try to lose touch for the meantime. You do not need to be reminded of the pain you just went through. Plus it might be good to just keep some distance between you two. That way you would not be tempted to get back together with him.
• This is the time to love and take care of yourself. Give yourself time out. Allow yourself to breathe. Do not rush back into a relationship.
• Do not bother to pick a fight with the person your partner cheated with. It is not only that person’s fault. It takes two to tango. Your partner was equally at fault.
• Do not make excuses for your partner. There is no good excuse for doing this. He knew that he was in a relationship and should have been loyal.
Take your time to assess the situation. Do not make rash decisions which you might regret in the future. It is easy to just fall back into his arms as if nothing happened. but do not rush into this. Love yourself. Think about things carefully. Eventually you will find someone whom you can trust fully. Just keep your heart open and it will come.

No, he would never believe you because he can see the smile on your face; in other words, he has noticed the inconsistency between what you are saying and your facial expression.

You might think “Nobody smiles when appearing to be sad” and you’d be right on that, but I’m not talking here about conscious inconsistencies; I’m talking about unconscious ones.

Your subconscious mind controls many of your involuntary functions like that of breathing, sweating, heart-beating….etc. when someone attempts to lie they usually control their facial expressions and tone of voice, but their unconscious mind still controls all other involuntary signals like body language and respiration rate. These unconscious signals are what we will be using to detect if they are lying; if their words are consistent with their unconscious signals then they are saying the truth otherwise, they are lying.

This article is not about intuitive or logical tricks but provides lying detection methods that are based on deep psychological concepts and proven facts.

Signs that Show if Someone Is Lying
The following are signs you should look for when attempting to spot a liar:

* Body Language: Liars usually hide their palms and don’t sit straight while telling a lie. They also avoid eye contact at the time of the lie and generally use negative evaluation gestures if they feel bad while lying

* Eye Accessing Cues Mismatch: According to NLP The direction the eye takes reflects the function taking place in the brain at the time. For example, looking towards the upper left side means that you are constructing an image in your mind while looking at the upper right side would mean that you are recalling an image. How can that be of use? Well, think about it, if someone looks towards the upper left when asked about something, he’s probably constructing an image of the lie he’s about to tell. This is just one sign that he might be lying.

* Inconsistencies in the Story: In different places and times, the story is more likely to change every single time it is discussed. He will forget a word, add something completely new, or remove something that he had previously mentioned. Regardless of the type of inconsistency, it shows he is lying.

* Feeling Anxious: Almost anyone who lies feels anxious, with various degrees depending on how professional the liar is. One of your concerns should be trying to spot his state of anxiety; talk as much as you can about the subject in order to keep him anxious.

* Avoiding the Subject: A person who wants to hide something will usually try to avoid bringing it up in the conversation or even talking about anything remotely related to it. Try to talk about anything related to the situation without addressing it directly and see if he tries to jump out of it into another topic.

* Lack of Assertiveness: Unless that person is a special agent who is professionally trained to lie, he will usually lack assertiveness while lying. His tone of voice will be lower and he will appear to be less confident.

* Speaking Slowly: When lying, the person will usually be making up events as he goes along, which will result in slower speech or even several complete stops to think about what he’s about to say.

Ever hear of love at first sight? It’s a myth right? Well I can tell you that it happened to me. I think when you fall in love this way, it is the only clear way to be able to answer the question.

Honestly,I didn’t know that I had fallen for Marc in that moment I first saw him; I just knew that it took extraordinary concentration to get my coffee cup back onto the table at the restaurant we met at. In fact, I didn’t know what I was feeling for him until our third meeting. This was despite my behaviour being outside the boundaries I usually set for myself:

1) I told him that he needed to break up with his fiancee!

This was a thing I would normally never do. A guy who was with someone was strictly off limits and never to be talked to as anything other than a non-gendered person.

2) I used anything I could to “prove” my point, including astrology and anything he told me about himself and her.

This to me was/is highly unethical, wrong, and bordering on evil: No one has the right to interfere in this way with someone’s on-going relationship. Ever. Yet here I was…

3) Every chance I got, I made it clear without being too overt for the most part that I was the much better catch for him.

This was “Slutty Behaviour 101 in my books. My belief has always been if I don’t have what it takes to get your attention and then keep it just by being myself, your loss. Throwing myself at anyone was not ever to be done and I had never done it… Until I met Marc.

Now, consider that I did all that the first time we met, in just a four hour conversation, and you have some idea of what a deviant Marc turned me into. Yeah. It was all his fault… I like that. Better than me being responsible.

The second time we met, Marc invited me over to his table for coffee and he had his fiance with him. I joined them and quickly found out I happened to be quite right about myself being the better choice as I found her to be immature, fake and really, really stupid. As a result, I went back to my behaviour of have a good look at what you could have. However, after a hour of conversation made the differences obvious, I started asking him in front of her why he was with her and that he could do so much better! He told me that he knew that and then left his answer hanging. I found his answer odd, but I was so intent on prying him away from this girl, that what he said didn’t really register. Very frighteningly, she had no idea what we were talking about even though I had asked him very directly and he had answered just as directly. To me, this simply served to drive home my point about being the better choice. I used every opportunity she threw my way and they were many, to remind him of this. Being an intelligent woman, there was only so much of this person I could stomach and so took my leave at the end of the second hour.

I’ve never had any patience with truly stupid people who do nothing to work on their inner beauty. I have even less with those girls (not women) who do nothing but rely on their faces to get them through life. Chosen, idiotic stupidity is not a Life Path I think is worthy of consideration. “But maybe she was really nice”, I hear some of you thinking. Nope. Too stupid. “Pretty girls smile and make all the right noises, but shouldn’t have anything else to offer”, was her guiding force.

Up to this point, Marc had tried to make it very clear that who he was with, was who he was loyal to. Try as I might, I couldn’t get him to go against this ethic, which was thoroughly frustrating. And admirable. But it really was annoying. Normally, I would applaud a man when he’s that way, and tell the girl/woman that she should hang on to him no matter what, even if she was as stupid as the one Marc was with. I’d smile and say, “Good for you!” and mean every word. The trouble was she happened to be with Marc and Marc… Well, I hadn’t made it that far.

Our third meeting occured at the local mall. I happened to run into him whilst doing some shopping and, yay, the fiance was not with him. I tried convincing him to go for coffee with me, but found out he was waiting for that “special” someone and that she was late. I asked him to go with me if she didn’t show up. He said he’d love to, but was pretty sure she would be there sooner or later. Looking back, I realize he was trying to tell me something, but I had my focus on 10 with him and that left little room for feedback. Anyway, she did in fact show up about fifteen minutes later. Marc got up looking (to me) very happy and smiling gave her a big kiss. My heart just gently closed its doors. I quietly slipped away to finish my shopping only to stop and look back for a moment. In that moment I had the clearest revelation of my life that hit me like a wall. I discovered how to tell if you’re in love:

Despite my feelings of love (yes love), as long as he was happy, I was ok to let him go. His happiness was more important than my own. I suddenly knew there would never be anyone else in my heart, but that was all right, because Marc had already found his happiness. I took a moment to drink this in and wondered at it, because I was happy that he’d found the one he wanted and that she made him happy. One of us would be happy and that was good enough for me. It didn’t really matter that I wouldn’t be; he was happy.

So, how to tell if you’re in love can be summed up in three points:

1) You stop acting like yourself, to the point that it gets confusing.

You will often find yourself way outside your usual boundaries, acting out of character and sometimes even going against your own rules.

2) The person becomes the center of your intense focus and you want to do whatever you can to bring them into your life.

This can lead to not taking in the clues their are trying to give you about their own feelings, as it did in my case. Marc was trying to tell me that he wanted to be with me as well, as I found out later. Learn from my mistake and take a breath so you can back up and see if they are trying to tell you something you’re going to want to hear.

3) The other person’s happiness is more important than your own. Hands down, every time.

Test his/her Personal Space
Everyone has something called “personal space”. It is like a bubble around us that we don’t like people trespassing into. If someone gets too close, we instinctively move away, and if they get too close again we move away again. When we are attracted to someone that bubble disappears. They can brush their thigh against ours while sitting close and we won’t jerk our leg away, they can stand close and we won’t step to the side, they can sit beside us on a long couch while watching a movie and we don’t ask them to move over. We enjoy being close to those who we are attracted to and sometimes make excuses to do so.
So, the first step in gauging whether your friend is attracted to you is to get past their “personal space” and monitor their reaction. If they move away, heed it as a warning and don’t try it again that day. Our personal space is a personal thing and many of us become annoyed if someone repeatedly invades it against our will. You can try this several times (over several days) and if he or she continues to move away as if by reflex, chances are, they are not attracted to you. This is not to stop you from trying the next test another time.

Observe Their Body Language
Is your friend exhibiting flirtatious behaviour with you? Do they find excuses to touch you, stand close, compliment you repeatedly on your appearance? Do their pupils dilate when they see you? Science has found that our pupils dilate when we are looking at someone or something we are attracted to.
Watching out for flirtatious behaviour is a good method, but it is probably the most unreliable of all that are listed. This is because some people are natural flirts, they flirt with everyone, including their friends. Also, some people are very affectionate with their friends and that could be miscontrued as flirting.

Touch his/her Hand
Another way to gauge if someone is attracted to you is to deliberately touch, or almost touch their hand. Try passing him or her something and hold it in a way that makes it difficult for them to take it without your hands touching. When they reach to take it, observe whether or not they expend any effort to touch the smallest surface area of your hand possible. If they avoid touching your hand then it could mean that they want to avoid all physical contact with you. Take it as a good sign if they linger by your hand when they touch you. Better yet, are their hands sweaty?
You could also try placing your hand very near your friend’s hand and watch to see if they move theirs away. If they are standing with a hand rested on a railing, stand next to them and rest your hand right beside theirs. If they are trying to program their DVD or CD player, help them and let your hand graze by theirs while you both play with the buttons. It would be a bad sign if they retracted their hand completely.

Watch for Changing or Strange Behaviour
Does your friend seem unusually awkward or nervous around you? Are their hands shaky or sweaty? Do they avoid talking about other guys/girls, and seem very uninterested in hearing you talk about other guys/girls that you are interested in?
Are they suddenly complimenting you more than usual? Are they only letting their best side show? Is she spending more time getting ready than usual? Is he wearing his nicest clothes and cologne…things you’ve only see him do when going on a date with other women?

Listen to What they Say
It sounds like a no brainer, but I am telling you anyway because when we like someone we tend to ignore any signs that they don’t like us and really play up any signs that they do. If your friend is saying things similar to those below then they may have picked up on your interest and are subtly hinting back that they aren’t interested in taking the friendship further.
“It is so nice to have a male/female friend who is just a friend.”
“I really like this guy/girl from work, we went out last night….”
“There is a new guy/girl at school who I am really interested in. Can you give me some advice on striking up a conversation?”
“I’m so glad we can just be friends without getting physically involved, I see so many friendships ruined because they crossed that boundary.”
“I have a friend who I’de like to set you up with, you guys would get along so well!”

Let me explain.

I personally think that most men feel a very powerful desire to IMPRESS women. If you watch the way a man behaves when he’s talking to a woman he’s just met or a woman that he’s on a first date with, you can see it. Maybe you’ve been there yourself.

I know I have. Many, many times, in fact. The feeling that you need to impress a woman usually comes along with another feeling: don’t screw this up.

Here are some of the signs that a guy is feeling the need to “impress” the woman that he’s talking to:

1) He tries to only say “cool” things, or things that will “impress” the woman.
2) He acts nervous and stilted during the conversation. sometimes coming across as “formal”.
3) He tries to figure out what the woman wants to hear.
4) If he says something that the woman doesn’t like, he “back-pedals” and tries to change what he said to suit the woman.
5) He doesn’t say anything “risky”, doesn’t tease the woman, and doesn’t do anything to upset her.

In other words, when a guy is talking to a woman that he “likes”, he’s usually on his “best behavior”, and he’s trying to “put his best foot forward”. To say it again, men feel a powerful drive to impress the woman that they like. And this drive to impress often makes them act unnatural.

There’s your first hint, in fact. Well, here it is: stop trying!

If you will just stop trying to impress women, and do the things I’m teaching you instead, women will naturally be “impressed” by you. Trying to impress a woman doesn’t impress her. So let’s break this down.

What’s wrong with trying to “impress” women, anyway? When you intentionally try to impress a woman, you send the following messages on a “subtle” level:

1) I don’t think you’ll like me for who I am, so I will try to “impress” you instead.
2) I’m not comfortable enough around women to just act normal.
3) I don’t have a lot of experience with attractive women.
4) I’m insecure.
5) I don’t know how to make women feel comfortable with me.

But it’s the truth. Women can tell instantly when you’re “trying”. The conversation doesn’t feel “normal”, your body language is strange, and you can’t seem to have a regular conversation.

Now of course, I’ve just described the way that about 99.9999% of men act when they’re first talking to a woman that they “like”. Are you ready for a profound insight?

Most men do this with most attractive women most of the time. In other words, it’s old news. It’s boring. It’s predictable. And it does not impress at all.

The bottom line is that trying to impress a woman usually has the opposite effect. It not only makes you look like a nervous guy who can’t make normal conversation. It also bores the hell out of women.

What to do instead? OK, so you’re out having a cup of tea with a beautiful woman you just met a few days before. She asks you what you do for a living. Should you answer with:

1) “Well, I’m an engineer for a software company that makes sophisticated vector widget plotting algorithms. I’ve been with them for three years, and I’m about to be promoted to algorithm manager.”

2) “I do stunt work. Have you ever seen it in a movie when a hot actor has to reveal his naked ass? That’s my job.”

Well, it all depends on what your outcome is. If you want to try and impress the girl with your cool high-tech job, then #1 will work just fine. Unfortunately, it won’t impress her at all, and it will make you sound like a jackass who is trying to sound cool. If you want to actually impress her, try #2.

Most men don’t have the balls to say something like this when a woman asks a “serious” question like “What do you do?”.

If you REALLY want to make a long-lasting impression, keep the humor going. She’ll say “No, really… what do you do?”.

Answer with: “No, really. Haven’t you ever seen it when an actor needs a stunt ass? I mean hey… someone’s got to do it”.

Now, I can’t possibly go into all the reasons why it’s a huge mistake to try to impress a woman, or to feel like everything you say should be “impressive”.

There are many reasons for this. More importantly, there are a few things you can do that will instantly impress a woman. And I mean really impress her. But these things aren’t obvious.

The most important thing you can do to impress a woman is make her feel a powerful emotional attraction for you. This feeling will stay with her long after you have left and gone home. And it’s the one thing that will make women pursue you and try to impress you.

How to Forget About Your Ex Tip #1: Move on. Go out to a nightclub or join a dating website to find someone new for yourself. You would not believe how quickly you can get over your ex when you have someone else there to fill there place. You never have to be alone, no matter what anyone says. So please, move on with your life and find someone else. Find someone better.

How to Forget About Your Ex Tip #2: Keep your friends close. If you were in a long term relationship and you do not feel like you can find someone new that quick, then try this. Keep your friends around you all the time. Your friends can be the ones help you more than anyone as they probably know about what happened during the relationship more than your siblings, parents, or other outsiders looking in. Make sure that you have that shoulder to cry on just in case you need it. Also, have a friend on speed dial that you can call at any time with a problem. They are your friends for a reason. They are here to help.

How to Forget About Your Ex Tip #3: Do something that you enjoy, but couldn’t do when your ex was around. Ladies, go out to a day spa and pamper yourself. A mud bath and a massage by a Swedish body builder can be just the thing you need to forget about your ex. Men, go out to a football game or something. Maybe five hours of tailgating, yelling, eating bad food, high fiving and booing will do you some good.

These were just a few tips on how to forget about your ex that anybody can use in any kind of relationship, no matter how long or short it lasted. Remember that not every tip will work for you. In fact none of them may work, or all of them could work. Either way, as long as you are able to get your ex off your mind, then it is a successful day.

Whilst in the first couple of days you can feel a little numb there comes a time when it will hit you. Heartbreak is really, really painful and I know that there are times when coping with a break up can feel over whelming. I also know that, while it may sound trite to you right now, time is a healer. Sometimes it’s enough just to draw another breath or get out of bed again.

You need to know that you are far bigger than your biggest feeling and keep in mind that even your darkest hour is only going to be 60 minutes in length.

That said I understand that right now it may well not feel that way. I’m sorry you’re feeling so bad and I wish you didn’t have to deal with it, but here we are. It’s my hope that after reading this you won’t feel quite so alone.

I’ve worked with people that felt like surviving their heart break was impossible. They were unable to forsee a time when the pain would disappear. The truth is that it doesn’t just disappear. The pain leaves you a little day by day, week by week and then month by month. One day you’ll wake up and realise you’re having more good days than bad days and you know you’re on the way to healing your broken heart.

Over the years I’ve learned a couple of tricks and techniques for having this process happen much more quickly and I’d like to share them with you here.

If you really are hurting in such a way that you wonder if you’ll make it through the night, then please get help. You could see your GP, get in touch with a counselor or give me a call for one of my emergency sessions.

Skim through the steps, then print off this practical advice on dealing with relationship break-ups. Keep referring back to it as you work through each step of the process. Yes, it will still take time, but working through the steps will reduce the pain of your break up as much as possible as well as minimizing any long term damage.

1. Feel your Feelings

If you’re already in the midst of dealing with a break up you’re probably already doing this bit and are looking to move on, but feeling your feelings is an essential part of the healing process.

Some people really struggle with feeling certain feelings, some of us are easier with anger, others with grief. I’d encourage you to explore them all by writing a ‘Grief’ letter to your ‘Ex’. It’s important to know that you’ll never send this letter so you can really explore every aspect of how you feel.

Take the time to explore what you are going to miss and what aren’t you going to miss. What are you angry about? What are you sad about? What do you fear this break up means? What was your part in the break up? What are you always going to love or appreciate about your ‘Ex’.

Explore these questions in such a way that you can feel all the things you suspect may be true even if you’d rather they were not. Write the letter as if you were writing it to someone who really cares about how you feel.

It’s really important that you take time to do this. At first it may not appear that this is the most critical step of coping with a break up, but every time you leave a relationship there is a danger that you will harden your heart due to the pain and disappointment. That hardening makes you less attractive and makes your life a lot less loving.

Whilst coping with a break up it’s possible that you’ve been making yourself promises like, ‘That’s it I’m never trusting another man again!’ or ‘That’s the last time I date a blonde!’, you know the kind of thing. Well over the years those kind of things begin to stick and people seem to get harder and just a little more bitter with each year that passes.

I often work with people who are trying to find love but are so full of resentment, due to their past, that they are totally unattractive. It’s much easier to feel and therefore heal feelings of pain and disappointment now than trying to clear them out years later.

If you do this properly you’ll be able to reconnect with at least some of the love you felt for your partner. Not in a way that eats at you, but in a way that nourishes your sense of life.

Taking the time to write this letter will allow you to grieve and hopefully you’ll be able to let go of some of the tears. Sometimes I get the sense that a client is so busy holding back their sadness that they are drowning on the inside. Don’t spend the rest of your life trying to stay numb, it’s really not worth it. Admit it, getting your heart broken really hurts.

If writing the grief letter doesn’t help you get to your pain then put on a movie that touches you in a special way or listen to some of those ’special’ songs. It will serve you to take the time to really feel your feelings.

If you’ve loved deeply once then you can do it again. If you take the time to heal you will come out of the relationship even more able to love than you were when you entered it. Work to keep your heart healthy and open.

2. Recognise the signal to move on

At some point – whether it’s days, weeks, months or even years- you’ll get a sense that you’re fed up with feeling bad. Maybe there’s a growing frustration with yourself that you aren’t moving on. Maybe you’re there right now and that’s why you’ve come looking for break up advice.

The signal that you’re ready to move on is not just when you start berating yourself. Self hate is not what I’m talking about here. If you catch yourself saying things like ‘You are so pathetic!’, or ‘Get over it loser, she left you.’ then you’re not ready to move on. It’s bad enough that your relationship ended. Don’t make it worse by locking in more self hate.

Go back to step one and take the time to work out what you’re still angry or hurt about. I’ve written How to Get Over A Break Up because it’s so easy to get stuck in the process of healing your heart. If you feel like you’re really not moving on fast enough then please get in touch, I can help!

So what’s the signal you are looking for?

Hopefully it’s a voice full of love and compassion for you and your struggles. All you need to know is that this sense of frustration with yourself is a signal. The signal says that it’s time to take the necessary steps to move on from the end of your relationship. One of my favorite quotes is that ‘you don’t drown by falling into water, you drown by staying there!’

What do you do as a result of recognising this signal? Just complete the remaining steps of this process.
3. Use your emotion to move you on

Tony Robbins teaches a fantastic method for using your emotions to move you forward. He defines every core emotion as being a signal for action. This step is all about action and making the decision to move forward.

So what are you really feeling? Most commonly after a break up it will be hurt, inadequacy or loneliness. If your prime emotion is something else I’m sorry, there are too many to deal with in this article, but if one of these is your main emotion currently, here are the steps to take:

Hurt – maybe as a result of your sense of loss.

Get a sheet of paper and a pen now. Take 10 minutes and write down all the reasons you won’t miss your partner. All the things they did that annoyed you about them. All the things you would have changed about them if you could have done. All the things you wanted from them that they couldn’t or wouldn’t give you. Keep the list and review it and add to it any time you get those feelings of hurt again. Try to think of at least 5 really big incidents during the relationship where you clearly knew it wasn’t working for you. (You’ll need this sheet later on in the process.)

Inadequacy – Feeling unworthy.

Get a sheet of paper. For 10 minutes write down all the things you appreciate or feel proud about yourself for. What would your friends say they like or love about you (you may actually even want to ask some of your close friends). What do your family love about you? What have you achieved in your life that you were proud of? Who do you know that loves you? Sometimes when we feel low this can be hard to do. If you’re struggling with this and there’s nothing you feel good about then ask yourself ‘ If you could feel good about just one thing what would it be?’ Then ask yourself that question again as many times as you can. Trust me – you are bigger and better than you think, you are a miracle in progress!

Loneliness – You need to connect with someone.

This is an important part of the process anyway even if you aren’t feeling lonely. Stay in contact with and go out with as many of your friends as you can. It’s important that you do this ahead of time rather than just waiting for the weekend to happen to you. Trying to reach out when you’re miserable is really hard and you can end up getting caught in a spiral. Being single is a luxury that you could easily miss. This serves to remind you that you still have lots of people to connect with in life and it also helps your mind to focus on some fun things.

4. Rid your environment of reminders

What you focus on you is what you feel. If you spend your time thinking about the loss of your partner – guess what? You’ll feel miserable. That’s why, once you’ve dealt with the real signals that the emotions give you, you must do as much as you can to focus your mind on things that please you.

Take the practical steps necessary to remove the reminders of your ex. from your environment. They will only act as triggers to think about him or her. Instead, when you see a reminder, use it as a trigger to get rid of that reminder – IMMEDIATELY!. Delete the telephone number, remove the pictures, store the presents. I’m not asking you to destroy them, just put them where you won’t see them on a day to day basis.

I know this may feel harsh given they were such a part of your life for so long but it makes a huge difference. Make a deal with yourself that if you are really missing them, and feel the need to re-connect, you can pull out an old photo or that old T-shirt. Take the time to go back and feel sad for a while or write about how much you hate them in that moment and then get back to your new life.

Out of sight, out of mind.

5. Do fun things!

As I said above, what you focus on you will feel. So generate yourself a list of things you like or love to do. Yes, again, you must write them down. So when you’re next focusing on things that are making you feel sad, you can run for the list, pick something off it and go do it. It’s the best way to speed up the process of moving on.

You’ll be amazed at how this works to change your mood.

Keep adding to your list… listen to loud music, dance around the room, sing your favorite fun song, watch your favorite film on video, go for a run or call a friend. You know the kind of things I mean.

The simple, easy and quick to do ones are the best.

6. Recognise you’re ready to love again

Well, I wish I could give you a really practical step here, but I can’t. What I can tell you is:

* Only you’ll know when you’re ready
* How long it takes is in your hands
* Set yourself a time limit

When you’ll be ready is a gray area. The truth is it will happen when you’ve fully accepted your past relationship is over and when you’ve fully dealt with your emotions around the break up. Not easily measured, but doing all the steps in this process will speed it along.

A rough guideline I quote for a limit to getting over a relationship is 1 month for every year of the relationship. Set that as your own time limit for moving on. What will be your month? Keep in mind that men tend to rush into the next relationship much too quickly and women tend to stay single too long.

If you feel like it’s time and you’re still finding it difficult to move on, then get some assistance.

I work with some clients I refer to as scared singles and, as far I’m concerned, they have every right to be afraid about getting into a new relationship. Unless you understand what your part was in the ending of your last relationship you run a very real risk of repeating your mistake.

7. Learn from your relationship

The reason you broke up? The real reason – was that you were either not compatible or communication was poor. To ensure you increase your chances of finding someone to love for life, learn from your past relationships.

Take the list of things you may have written about in step 3 and store them in a safe place. If you haven’t already generated that list, then do it when you get to this stage of the process.

Also I want you to generate a list of things that you did like about your partner. And store that list too.

In one of my courses I call this the perfect partner exercise, and it’s critical to finding you the right partner in the future. But you can see why it’s necessary to have properly moved on from the relationship before you go through this exercise.

Finally, I wish you well. I know coping with a break up is a painful time for you. Knowing how to get over a break up and doing it are two different things, so if you need any further help from me, let me know.

If you have tried to get someone to like you and you did not get the results you wanted, you would know how frustrating it can sometimes be, but the good thing is that are a lot of things you can do to make someone like you.

The first way to get someone to like is to help the person out with something they might be having problems with and usually the more important the problem is to the person the more the person would appreciate what you have done for him or her.

Another good way to make someone like you is to try to talk about what you both like and what you have in common and this would make the person more comfortable with you. For instance if you are trying to get a friend the fact that you go to the same school or you live in he same area would make the person more willing to associate with you.

Giving compliments is another good way and this is because people like those who say good things about them and as long as you really mean what you say the person is more likely to like you and want to be friends with you. You can also use humour, people like to laugh and anyone who can make them easily laugh would be someone they would like and want to be with.

Be positive and confident, a lot of people don’t like making the first move when it comes to meeting people and this is due to several reasons, so if you want to make someone like you by taking the lead to go talk to the person or by showing confidence when around the person, you are more likely to be liked.

Scorpio Passion
Deeply sensual and desperate to explore every experience mentally, emotionally and physically, the Scorpio redefines passion. Not surprisingly, physical relationships with one can be very rewarding! If you enjoy deep and complete involvement with another person, the Scorpio could be just what you’ve been longing for. That characteristic passion isn’t limited to the bedroom. Scorpio is passionate about pursuits and does nothing without all of the attention. That dedication translates to relationships, work and leisure activites, which can make for admiral commitment to excellence – or even border on obsession. In personal relationships, Scorpio’s passion and emotional needs can become overwhelming, as they are ruled by their emotions and can become hurt and angry when their needs are not met.

Piercing curiosity
Scorpios are endlessly curious about the world around them and how everything in it works. They often have stores of unusual information – the product of that inquisitiveness – that can challenge, inspire or drive you out of your mind. The good news? You can forget about awkwardly quiet dates as your Scorpio will never run out of conversation. Of course being Scorpios, their interest can easily gravitate to human emotions in general and themselves in particular. And when their curiosity does turn to you, be ready to answer a barrage of questions until the scorpion gets what they want!

Your Scorpio may believe that they see the reality much more clearly than you do (and because of an obsessive pursuit of the truth, they might!). While insight can be invaluable when it is welcome, it can also leave you feeling belittled or offended when you’re not asking for answers. The best defense is clear communication. If a Scorpio understands (and agrees with) your reasoning, they will respect your decisions. And if that doesn’t work, try making an emotional appeal. Scorpios are ruled by their emotions and will understand why you feel attacked much better than why they are wrong.

Under attack
When the Scorpio is angry, beware! While not openly combative, Scorpios will need to seek resolution for their feelings, and they’re more than capable of biding their time in doing so. Think that argument was over last Monday? If they weren’t satisfied with the outcome, it will come up again when you least expect it. It doesn’t mean they’ve been smoldering over it for weeks. It simply means that finding the right moment to address a conflict is Scorpio’s way of dealing with their feelings. And when you’re dealing with a Scorpio, it’s more important than ever to address and resolve those conflicts. Their stubborn tenacity makes them a world-class holder of grudges. Plus, at the heart of it all, Scorpios are easily hurt. They need to feel like their emotions are addressed, and the more you can openly communicate, the less likely your Scorpio will be to take a misunderstanding to heart.

The Scorpio hold
If you’re thinking you might change a few of those habits in time, you might want to go looking elsewhere – the Scorpio is infuriatingly resistant to change. Scorpios hold as firmly to their beliefs (good luck proving them wrong!) as they do to their goals. That lack of adaptability may make them impossible to deal with when changes are underway, but it also makes for a driven, goal-oriented partner who is often very successful in their pursuits. That tenacious behavior is probably why Scorpios are also fiercely loyal friends and lovers. They may fight relentlessly against you to defend their beliefs, but they’ll fight for you with the same conviction.
