My Ex Girlfriend Met Someone Else! Why You Need To Calm Down

Your ex girlfriend met someone else. Now, normally this wouldn't be a big deal at all, save for the fact that you're still wild about the woman, right? You can't stand the thought of her dating anyone else and you're beside yourself with anger, sadness and confusion. So, what now? Do you look the other way and try and build a life of your own? Or do you put your emotional boxing gloves on and get back in the ring so you can try and win her back from him? These are both great choices, but I've got a third alternative for you to consider. You may just find it effective to step away from the situation, let her explore the new connection and ready yourself for that moment when her rebound relationship crashes into a messy heap.

It was inevitable that your ex girlfriend would meet someone else after the break up. If she initiated the split she was already open to the possibility of finding someone else to explore a connection with. Women will sometimes do this if they feel their man just isn't being as attentive as he could or if the relationship isn't headed in the right direction. For instance, if your ex girlfriend wanted a commitment, and you weren't certain at the time that it was the right thing for you, she may have dumped you so she could find a man who sees her as the gift that she is. The same idea is behind the woman who breaks up with her boyfriend because she feels taken for granted. If she was constantly waiting for you to pay attention to her, and you were always busy with friends or work was your priority, she's going to dump you and find a man who puts her first.

Panicking about her new relationship status will only serve to cloud your better judgment. If you see or hear that she's with someone else, and you overreact she'll feel justified in separating her life from yours. However, if you stay calm, seem disinterested and even initiate a friendship with both her and her new guy, you'll come out on top. You'll look like you're emotionally mature, self confident and she'll be impressed by that.

The best advice you can take if your ex girlfriend has met someone else is to let that relationship run its course without any interference from you. Don't try and make him look like a bad guy and don't even consider the idea of dating another woman in an effort to make your ex girlfriend seethe with jealousy. It won't work. You need to sit tight, focus on the future and let her see for herself that this new relationship isn't all she wants it to be.

In the meantime, transform yourself into a great friend for her. Keep all romance off the table and approach her as you would any other friend. Be supportive, helpful and compassionate. Ask to meet her for coffee and always invite her new guy to come along. Make yourself into the ideal best friend so when her new relationship crumbles, you'll be there to offer a shoulder to cry on.
