Many may agree that heartbreak is one of life's harshest teachers yet the most understanding. There are various ways one can avoid conversation about their relationship status. Some may want to avoid this conversation due to internal embarrassment, confusion or to just simply bug off nosy people. Truth be told, not everyone deserves to know the details of your relationship (or the lack thereof) because some people just don't mean well for you. Sometimes people just need their grieving period, the good Netflix, ice cream, sob and repeat. One day you will be comfortable enough to have this conversation, and today is not the day. Here are the various ways you can avoid that socially awkward conversation.
Worst Case Scenario
Run. Literally. This will catch them off guard. You don't need to think about how horrible that person treated you. They don't know how much pain you received, you just got rid of the tears, they don't need to fall again. You have this all figured out. As dramatic as this may seem, they will most likely feel a bit too awkward to ask again.
Pretend you don't know their name.
This will make you look delusional, but this is possibly the easiest way out. Jonah? Who? I don't know a Jonah. Dated for a year? What?
Say you were too busy.
I mean, that's not a lie. You're too busy to deal with people who keep trying to play you. You got no time for heartbreak, you know how long it takes to get over a long-term relationship? Nobody got time for that.
Convince people that you're still in a relationship...
With yourself. You're alive, aren't you? This is the longest commitment you have ever gotten into.
Till death do (us) part.
Or you can just not avoid the conversation at all.
Live the thug life. Walk up loud and proud, understand that no one deserves someone as sexy as you are.
Then sob peacefully in a corner because it still hurts. There's nothing wrong with the grieving period, you still got your edges—and that is all that matters.
When you do get over this heap, you know you will be shining brightly with your brand new bae and you can leave your ex on scene (fabulously, of course).
