Step One: Cry. Cry as much as you need to. (That means you, too, guys.) Even if you don't think the person is worth crying over, cry for all the times you felt rejected. This is a very important step in the healing process.

Step two: Agree to make an emotional break from this person. Do not call. Do not email. Even if you want to be friends someday down the road, it just can't happen right now.

Step Three: Get some closure on your own from this relationship. Write a letter out to this person long hand, (on the computer it's too easy to send,) detailing everything you'd like to say to them. Use as many four letter words as you like. Do some journaling as well. Make a list of all the reasons this person was not "the one". Refer to it as often as possible. Toss or hide away all momento's. They are nothing but bad fung shui.

Step Four: Get a support group of friends and platonic friends of the opposite sex. Make lunch dates. Find people to talk to.

Step Five: Refuse to feel like a looser. Go to the gym! Take walks after dinner. Get buff enough to kick their sorry behinds!

Step Six: Give some extra attention to your appearance. Girls, get a make over or go to the spa, guys, get a good hair cut, go shopping for new clothes. Try a new cologne or perfume.

Step Seven: Work on your carreer, take some extra shifts or extra credit projects, If you hate your job, try looking for a better one, go back to school or look for ways to improve your earning potential.

Step Eight: Make the scene again, hit the clubs, go to the next party you are invited to, try something new, like salsa or swing dancing.

Step Nine: Do something totally unexpected for you. Challenge yourself. Try something you've never tried before, build your own web business, go sing at a karaoke bar, go on a trip by yourself & explore a new city. As Elenore Roosevelt said, "you must do the thing you think you cannot do."

Step Ten: Meet a new Mr. or Ms. Possibility. Ask friends to set you up, put out an ad online, get out there and flirt!

Step Eleven: Meet a new Mr. or Ms. Possibility II. (In the even that the other one does not work out...)

Step Twelve: Lean from your mistakes, know what you did right, too, if you're keeping a journal, you can look back on it and say, "I can't believe I cried over that person!"
