Hey there, this is Clay with modernlove.life and this is Relationship Inner Game and today
we're going to be closing up this whole breakup series if you will, with the topic of how
to date after a breakup or dating after a breakup.
And the important thing when it comes to dating after a breakup is a lot of people are a little
bit too eager really to start dating after a breakup and that's because they think or
believe that if you just continue to grasp for something outside of yourself, grasp for
sex from an attractive person to date from an attractive person, validation for an attractive
person, commitment from an attractive person, that somehow that will cure your breakup and
make you feel better.
You know, there's even a sage wisdom that says "the best way to get over a breakup is
to date 10 other people or do other things with 10 other people".
Although that might make you feel a little bit better.
It's not going to help you get over your breakup and really learn how to be kind of bullet-proof
to that sort of thing.
In the future, because you're still looking to something outside of yourself to make you
feel better, and yes, the external world is going to have an impact on us.
If somebody nice-looking was flirting with me, I would feel pretty good.
But if that is your metric for how you have moved on from the breakup, if you know this
attractive person is going out on a date with me, therefore I'm over my ex or this person
is more attractive than my ex, therefore they're going to be jealous.
Or this person is better than my ex, or this person is kinder than my ex, this relationship
that we have is so much better than my, than my relationship that I had with my ex or something
like that.
Then you're never really free from the relationship that you had with your action of really free
from the breakup.
In fact, you're in a rebound relationship and those don't really tend to work out too
well.
They often implode and fall apart because there's a whole lot of emotional unavailability
going on there and the topic of emotional unavailability is a little bit beyond the
scope of this video, but just take my word at it.
Everybody who is going through a breakup at least initially will be emotionally unavailable
for at least a short period of time.
Now, some of those people will bounce back and become emotionally available.
People again, who can go on to have great healthy, normal relationships, but some of
those people that stay emotionally unavailable are going to have a very difficult time finding
commitment.
They're going to have a very difficult time connecting with others and they're going to
have a very difficult time having a great, wonderful, successful love life.
So I don't want you to do that.
I don't want you to start dating after a breakup too quickly, especially when you're not fully
healed emotionally from the breakup itself.
We've made a couple of videos already on the topic of healing from a heartbreak, so please
go ahead and watch those so that you can actually get yourself up to speed and you don't prematurely
start dating new people, hoping that some, some new attractive person in your life is
going to actually heal you because it's not.
It's just gonna agitate that validation-seeking mechanism within you a little bit more and
cause you to continue to work outside of yourself for validation, Continuing to work outside
of yourself for love.
And of course, you know, if that attractive person that you do get to validate you, decided
to break up with you later on, then you're still gonna
feel pretty lousy and you're going to be right back to where you started from and don't want
that happen to you.
So please learn how to heal from the breakup the right way so that you can have healthy,
wonderful, amazing connections with people.
Whether you're dating, whether you're getting into a committed relationship or whatever,
so that it's not just some cruddy rebound relationship, but it's a real fulfilling,
rewarding relationship.
That's actually going to give you what you want in the long run.
