Has Anyone Else Gone Through This With Friends. . .?
My biggest pet-peeve post break-up:
When friends *immediately* try to set you up with someone else!!! It's been a little less than two months since my break-up but a month ago a friend of mine wanted me to call one of her friends because she could "set me up with a doctor". Um. . .what??? And she's done this to me before during another break-up. She gave my number to one of her guy friends without my permission. I absolutely *loathe* being set up. I think it's awkward and, more often than not, I'm not interested in the guy and I have to find a way to let him down easy (and I don't like "letting people down" period.) All of my exes I have met "organically" - meaning we met under normal circumstances (at a party, etc.) and immediately hit it off. Then we'd date and end up in a relationship. When I'm ready I'm certainly capable of meeting someone new. I just wish my friends (well, this one in particular) would respect the time I need to take for myself to heal.
Does anyone else have pushy friends?
Or. . .who else hates hearing (following a fresh break-up):
"You can do so much better!"
"He/She didn't deserve you!"
"There are plenty of fish in the sea!"
I know our friends mean well but, until time heals us, we miss and long for our exes. That's just how it is.
