D] - A mixture of all of above and more.

Having survived a few of these in the past I think A is the best answer. Pursue other things, hang out with friends, take it slow, just don't rush into a rebound romance. I was one of the lucky few who made C work. Jason and I broke up, went our separate ways and didn't find anyone else. 18 months later we reconnected through a mutual friend and it has been wonderful ever since. Hope that helps.

B worked nicely for me, though I believe no one can replace someone... it's just that someone else hel;ped me improve myself and see my life was worth more than grieving.
B & C together would be ideal, I think, but sometimes I find C is not an option.
but you know, these things work very differently for each individual. What works best for me may not even cross your mind and what works for you may do me more harm than good. -
.....A
normally I'd say C, because that's what I normally do, but dammit it never works! -
B, find someone not to replace the one who hurt you but to help you heal. However a D would be ideal for me, D.) Drown the sorrow to the bottom of the bottle. But thats just me, lol.

the ideal is A but from personal experience C is the only way i can find closure, otherwise it just sits in the back of my mind forever
-
-
same here! =/
i wish closure was so much easier though.
-
-
A, and wait to see if C ever happens ... which somewhat counteracts A, but you know.
-
-
where have you been all of my life?
but yes, i know what you mean.

It's not B. You cannot truly have a broken heart if you can that quickly give it away again. That is simply pushing yourself into something new to not focus on the pain. That isn't good. We cannot heal at all from what we ignore.

A) Take a break from all romantic pursuits. Take time for the heart to heal on its own.
At first, I was going to choose C. However, there are instances where the other person will not, or can not give you ideal closure. In such a case, you would have to take a break and let it heal. The problem is that broken hearts never truly heal. We blame new loves for things old ones did, and grow scared to trust. Broken hearts can mend temporarily, but the pieces remain scattered in our subconscience. For instance, I can go months without feeling insecure at all in my marriage, and then out of the blue I feel insecure; and it's all because of past heart break before I met my husband. Hope that makes sense.

amen!

It could be A or C really. Sometimes a second chance is the course to take but sometimes you just need time to heal. it depends on the situation but a rebound relationship is never good. (As in option B )
