I gave up boys for about nine months after the last ex and I broke up. Best decision I ever made. Oh sure, I had crushes on many guys during the time and could have dated some of them but I decided that I wasn’t going to give up the amazingly fun single life for just any old guy. And it was indeed the best nine months of my life. I’m proud to say I went a bit crazy.
Then I met my current boyfriend and I knew from the moment I met him that he was going to change things. So maybe you don’t have to give up boys for exactly a year, just until you find someone who you know is going to be right for you.
Oh, and I was born in 1986, booya!
