To all you broken hearted things, my sympathies. Recovering from a break up ranks right up there between the time your dog died (get the Kleenex, quick!) and losing your dream job. But you know just as well as I do that time really does heal all wounds, accompanied by friends, vodka and cheesecake. You'll get over it, most of the time.
Notice I said "most of the time"? That's because in everyone's life there is one sad sack for whom we carry a torch forever. It's unfortunate, but that's life. However, in this particular case, you're too smart, sexy and all around awesome to mope for long, right? You'll know the grieving process is coming to an end when you experience one or more of the following;
1. You hardly ever think to check for his car when you drive past his work these days. And the only reason you drive past his work is because it's on the most direct route to your parent's house. No need to go the long way around after all!
2. You say "no" instead of "I just broke up with someone" when a cute stranger asks you if you're involved with someone.
3. Last Tuesday was his Father's birthday. Today is Friday and you just remembered.
4. You have a new cell phone number and it didn't even occur to you to give it to him.
5. While out on a date you have to trouble not talking about your ex. His/her name hasn't even crossed your lips.
6. "That scarf you bought at that place when you were with him" is now just "your favorite scarf". No strings attached.
7. You used to "swear" that you saw him whenever you went out somewhere. Now he no longer comes into view.
8. When you read your daily horoscope, you don't automatically read his as well.
9. You "unfriended" him on Facebook a couple of days ago. You hadn't visited his page for weeks.
10. In the months after your break up you would compare new guys to your ex. Now you compare them to your own standards and no one else's.
