Easier Said, and Now, Easily Done!

Tuesday, March 8th, 2011

It’s easy to say “avoid dating Mr. Whoever.”  We’ve all done it…be it sitting at a wine bar chatting with good friends…in the midst of building a rapport with new friends at a party…or even sitting next to someone on a plane ride; we’ve all conversed at one point or another about which types of dating disasters and people to avoid.

This brings me to the fact that I’ve blogged a bit about hypothetical and relatable situations concerning dating, a lot about particular “types” of guys to avoid, a bit about absolute relationship deal-breakers, and some other juicy stuff.  But(!), I’ve yet to chime in on what to do if and when you’re dating a guy, that you’ve undeniably identified as “Mr. Wrong,” and you need to get out of it.  Moreover, I think it’s strikingly important to discuss, as Ditching Mr. Wrong is indeed the title of the dating woman’s survival guide!

So, let’s get to a few things…as in, let me offer up a glimpse of hope to those who need to  “Get(ting) Rid of Mr. Wrong in 10 Easy Steps.”

Disclaimer: There are indeed 10 vital steps, but, they are not exactly easy.

One of the most important steps is a very obvious one: End the Physical Connection with Mr. Wrong. Plain and simple, physical connections are strong and can weaken one’s ability to see, think, and feel clearly about a situation. It will only hurt you in the long-run.

Another imperative step is to Be Positive!  End the relationship in an adult manner by being amicable and honest; it will undoubtably make the process much easier, and you’ll ultimately feel better about the situation, and more importantly, yourself.

Also, because you’re not in high school, Don’t Bad-Talk Him.  Breakups are tough, and even if you feel justified and entitled, DO NOT bad-talk him.  I know it might make you feel good immediately, but in hind-sight, it’s not mature, it’s not nice, and it will not serve you well. Confide only in those closest to you, and work on moving past the relationship as a whole.

Those are just a few vital steps to “Getting Rid of Mr. Wrong.”  The rest, and more valuable information can be found in my book…
