and the Father of the year award goes to.... Not your asshole dad!!!!

Well, he was pretty helpful, eh?Well, he was pretty helpful, eh?

He's never been dumped by a guy how would the poor ol man know?

Why are you asking your dad for relationship advice? Go speak to one of your friends instead!

Wow. Well. Maybe he's not the type to be able to give advice to his little girl but others yes. For all you know maybe he doesn't like the thought of other guys daring to touch his little girl and doesn't know what to give you as advice. I know I'll be scared when my sister gets of age and asks me what she should do in a break up lol

like you would've taken advice from your father,

He probably just doesn't know. He tried to be there for you (which is very sweet in itself), but couldn't think of an answer and therefore got pissed off at himself.

I'll tell you what to do: Cry until there are no more tears left. The first 2-3 days are very hard because of the shock, then it gets a little better, then it is very hard again between 10-14th day because you miss him. Whether you want distraction or staying in your room and re-reading all your messages over and over again is up to you. DON'T lose your dignity, DON'T call him crying, DON'T send him tearful stupid romantic messages that you think will make him feel bad or regret you, because he will just see it as you being clingy and pathetic. DO see more of your friends, DO find a new hobby or project you might be interested in. DON'T annoy your friends for hours about the breakup, DON'T lose time being jealous of the new girl, DO buy new underwear/clothes, get a new hairdo or whatever. DO remember that there were many years before him and there will be many years after fim, DO listen to people who have been dumpend and then loved again much better than before, DON'T listen to friends who say he was an a..hole or didn't deserve you blabla, DO listen to friends who tell you about all your qualities. DO realize that it was his choice, his story, for his reasons, and that the fact that you might not be the most suitable person for him at the moment doesn't mean you are not good enough as a person. DO learn from your mistakes, DON'T feel guilty. DO trust in the future and the healing power of time, DO wish him well and mean it, DO wish yourself well and mean it, and whether you choose to start a new relationship rather fast to forget the last one is up to you, but in this case DO choose a good guy and not someone who will break your heart again and make you feel worthless again. Heads up. Love hurts, a lot, but it's just for a while. Your big sis, 28, a few heartbreaks, now happier than I ever imagined (and yes, even though I thought I had the "perfect", "soul-mate" boyfriend before).

Seriously, how should he know?

I know I wouldn't know what to do...
