So I been on Downelink a lot which is a social network for LGBTQ youth and I have been getting a lot of question about how to mend a broken heart and when is it okay to start dating again. Well I feel like when being in a bad relationship is not suppose to over take you as a person. The first is getting out of that relationship... because most relationships that are bad for so long aren't getting any better. Second you should take time to be with yourself love yourself date yourself. By doing this you learn what you like dislike and what you except.  Third is when you enter a friendship or relationship don't be afaird to express yourself to that person tell them you have been hurt and you need time. Fourth work at your own pace a relationship is like a job pace yourself and you will progress.
