It’s hard to be in a relationship. It’s even harder to get out of a relationship. It can be so tempting to fall back into the familiar comforts of an old relationship, especially during those lonely nights when you’re all alone at home with nothing to do, or when you go back to a place where you two once shared a special memory together. But you broke up for a reason, so however lonely or tempting it gets (or however drunk you are), DO NOT pick up the phone and beg your ex for a reconciliation (or one night of sex for “old time’s sake”). Exercise some self control — yeah, it’s not easy, but here are some things you can do:

• Stop daydreaming about the past and go to bed. When you wake up the next morning, it’ll all be over.

• Go out. Remember, there are other fish in the sea! And keep in mind you’ll be meeting lots of people so don’t throw yourself at the first guy/girl who shows interest in you!

• Hang out with your friends. Your chums are most effective in helping you heal a broken heart.

• Keep yourself busy. Find a hobby.

• Take a vacation. There’s nothing like a fresh start.

• Have a fling! Enjoy your freedom!

Or if you’ve tried everything listed above and it STILL doesn’t work, try the following. I doubt it will fulfill the ’self-control’ part of getting over a relationship, but it MIGHT work. Never know until you try:

• Build a bridge (preferably with his/her body bury underneath the foundation), and get over it.

• Go to his/her house with your friends and throw soaked toilet tissue at his/her window.

• Stalk him/her on dates and make HIS/HER life miserable.

• Flirt and seduce him/her and then leave him/her hanging.

• Make out with a same sex friend in front of him/her at a party. This will incur at least 2 results:

  1. He/She might think he/she drove you over the edge (it will help if you casually mention it to him/her).

  2. He’ll/She’ll feel sorry for losing the chance of having you AND your friend.

So I just got songs from the soundtrack of Music & Lyrics and was listening to ‘Meaningless Kiss’. Then I started to wonder…can kisses be meaningless??

I received an email a long time ago about the hidden meanings of kisses. For the sole purpose of proving that I did not hallucinate that email, I searched for the meanings of kisses (oh yes…I am procrastinating…what else is new?). So…anyway, I was right! I DIDN’T hallucinate that email. This is what I found out:

Firstly, what is a kiss?

kiss

-v. 1. to touch or caress with the lips, as in affection or greeting.

Are there different meanings to the places you plant your kisses? Well…apparently…yes~

• Kiss on the hand – I adore you.

• Kiss on the cheek – I just want to be friends.

• Kiss on the neck – I want you.

• Kiss on the lips – I love you.

• Kiss on the ears – Let’s have some fun.

• Kiss on the nose – Let’s get silly.

• Kiss anywhere else – You’re the best.

Further searches showed that there are SOOOOO many types of kisses…sooooo many that I can’t list them all here, but you can go check it out for yourselves here.

What’s more? There are tips on places to kiss your loved one.

Behind their ear. Tip of their nose. Back of their neck. Underside of their forearm. Curve of their waist. Palm of their hand. Inside their wrist. Under their chin. Their eyelids. Inside of their ankle. Their collar bone. Tips of their fingers. Their spine. Small of their back. Their tummy. Behind their knees.

If you’re thinking why such an “innocent” person like me starts to wonder about kisses…well…let’s just say there’s a thin line between deprivation and interest~
