Option number 17, just because it has mecha. 🤣
I don't exactly remember if I have been in that situation, so there.

I go with "Makeover! I change myself physically, e.g. cutting my hair or working out. I'm a new me!" for 300 dollars
Now really, is more complex than that, I take a life changing decision and stick with it, I have gotten my heart broken 2 times, the first one I decided to have a pound for every cm in my height, had to lose 40 pounds, but I managed to do it in 2 months, and I stay around 0.98 to 1.07 pounds for every cm 🙂
Yeah 183cm and 186 pounds.
The Second time, I decided to go to the gym and well to look better...
But is not just that, when I am heart broken, I decide to spend a good chunk of my savings on myself, and with a GF out of the picture, I can save more money easily... I blow money in Clothes, Watches, Shoes, stuff for my room, etc
And Finally, I don't stay heart broken for long... Logic takes over and quickly manages to turn everything into "was for the best" and "I am going to be better off now", there is where the NEW stuff fills the hole in my heart... Like a Hollow, until I get hungry and decide to hunt for some more love.
Now I just have to change this habit of becoming awkward whenever i truly love someone... the more I care, the less I succeed... is a proven formula... the less I care, the farther and deeper I go... if you catch my drift...

I've never been in love, so really I have no idea. I suspect I would go bury myself in books, because that always calms me down. But really, who knows?
They say it's the thought that counts, but then they tell you, "The road to hell is paved with good intentions......"

Never really got my heart broken because I am usually not emotionally involved with other people.
But I cut my hair frequently whenever I feel stuck in life.
I hope this won't happen but if I break up with my boyfriend, I guess I'll have a broken heart for the first time in my life. 🤨

Normally, "Nothing. I just go on with my normal life, hollow-eyed and looking like the living dead."
One time I got it real bad, I lost my appetite. I didn't eat for a week. I began to eat because he would come by and I didn't want to faint in his presence. Luckily I had my original weight back within 3 months by binging afterwards.
Towards friendships collapsing I'm totally an evil robot though =/
Never experienced heart break like that so I have no idea how I'd react to the situation.

I answered binge cause that is what I did right when I got my heart broken. But the real cure is time. I went from binge to burn everything to laying in a dark room to not worry about it anymore. I think it depends how long you are with the person and how old you are. I was 17 when it happened and it was a 3 year relationship so being a teenager I made bad decisions. But being a bit older and wiser than then I think I would handle it differently. Also a great help for heartbreak is finding a great video game/anime/manga to keep your mind off of it. Sitting around mopy isn't healthy and is a waste of time.

You don't deal with a broken heart
It just happens and you hurt until it hurts significantly less or you no longer hurt
Basically you just let it run its course
No one gives a shit what trite garbage you write here.

dont get to the point where your heart is broken. Don't chase after someone when your love is unrequited because if they accept out of pity or whatever, you're just wasting your time, feelings, and effort. Plus you don't want to be a compromised situations. If the feelings were to reciprocated to begin with, when theres even a hit that the feelings are no longer mutual end it, and then just wait till it is again. Theres nothing worse than prolonging it and then suddenly getting slapped with the other person leaving you cold turkey.

Am I the only rebounder around? Lol...
I don't actually get into rebound relationships, but I like putting myself out there and looking for the next relationship - meeting people if not dating them. (As in, just introductions.) Basically, it's a faux rebound, not an "actual" one... And since I'm so picky, by the time I do find someone new to be with (it can take a YEAR or more), the old flame has flickered and died and I'm totally over it. 😛 At least I managed to distract myself in the meantime!
I think it just helps as a form of therapy to put myself out there, looking nice, doing my hair or whatever, because it makes me feel good about myself to be reminded that life isn't over, that I'm still attractive, that there are good people out there out of which one might become the love of my life. 🙂
Hope, basically. Yes, that's it. Not an actual rebound, just the HOPE of being in another relationship helps me. Hopefully, a relationship that will last the rest of my life...
I still haven't actually USED someone as a rebound - I just put myself in social situations where single people are there that I could rebound with, if I wanted to, but I don't actually date any of them until I'm well and truly over the ex. I've never dated someone new while I still wasn't over an ex... At least I didn't make that mistake. Lol.

Yeah, you can end it if the feelings aren't mutual anymore, but that don't mean it don't hurt. 🙁 I agree that we shouldn't drag things out, because that makes it worse, but even NOT dragging it out still hurts...! (Unless one belongs to the Evil Robot Society. 😛 ) Like, in one of my previous relationships I suddenly got cheated on by a partner that had seemed very loving... Shocked the bujeezus outta me, almost shattered me altogether, but I definitely broke up immediately and amicably (that's the strange part - although maybe I was so depressed I couldn't even work up the ire, lol). Just the fact that I broke up immediately didn't mean I didn't get my heart broken... Well, at least I'm over them now to the point where I genuinely wish them well, wherever they are, and I hope that whatever inner unhappiness had led to their cheating is now resolved. God bless and may everyone be happy. Lol... /hippie-mode

Whiskey and vodka will help you get over anything and get you over to the next thing. life is much simpler that way, never dwell on depressing moments for too long just try to move on after a few drinks with your mates.
