So a very close friend of mine was telling me about her going on a date tonight and I thought to myself, sheesh it's time I made myself date-able. No not in a sense that I'm desperate to be with someone, it's just going out and having a good time, that's all.

Here's my list:

1) Stop being/looking like a slob

Ya if you're going to continue looking like one, no one's ever going to ask you out. Go shopping, get your hair done, do your nails, loose weight, do anything to make yourself feel better. Feel better = look better

2) Stop thinking about the what if-s

What if we didn't break up, what if things got better, what if we got back together, what if what if what if. LIKE SERIOUSLY STOPPIT CAN. I used to be like that about say, a week and a half ago. Yes I know I am so irritating. Thinking about the what if-s doesn't make things any better. You have no idea what will happen next, so just move on and stop clinging to something that's gone. The more you try to forget, the harder it is, you'll just keep thinking about it. Keep yourself busy and hang out with your friends as much as possible.

3) Stop wallowing in self pity

People will start to find you annoying. Yes yes I know you've broken up, but that's not the end of everything. Cry as much as you want to and then stop. Don't brood over it for too long or you'll never get over it.

4) Open up to new adventures, opportunities and people

That's what life's all about right! Go out and have fun. Try new sports, take up a new hobby, meet new people and just try everything (as long as it's legal). Soak up some vitamin D, don't be a spoilsport and enjoy yourself. A smile would not hurt too. Nothing can be more inviting than a big smile on your face every time you sight a stranger. Just don't look like a siao lang.

Don't give up on love just because (you feel) it has given up on you.
