Why Booze And Breakups Don’t Mix
By Dr. George Karanastasis | January 18, 2008
It’s not uncommon to look for a “crutch” when dealing with the pain of a breakup. And what better way to numb that pain than to drown your sorrows in a bottle.
You crack a cold one, and another, and another… and suddenly you’re feeling great!
Unfortunately, the feeling doesn’t last long. Sooner than later the lifting effect of alcohol gives way to depression. And that’s when things start to get messy.
So if you’re tempted to take this route the next time you hit bottom… here are 3 blunders booze can lead to that should make you think twice…

Can You Win Her Back? 6 Signs She Still Wants You
By Dr. George Karanastasis | January 15, 2008
So, you’ve recently broken up with your girlfriend and now you’re trying to win her back…
The problem is, you don’t know how to go about it… you’re confused. One day you’re sure she can’t live without you, the next, it seems like she couldn’t care less if you’re alive or dead (figuratively speaking).
With this in mind, is it any wonder that you’re questioning the possibility of getting her back?
Well here’s something to cast aside your doubts. What follows are 6 tell-tale signs she’s still interested in you (some more subtle than others). And if you can pick out even one, rest assured that your chances of saving your relationship are alive and well…

Should You Get Your Ex Girlfriend Back?
By Dr. George Karanastasis | January 12, 2008
All men are pigs… at least that’s what a woman will tell you when she’s feeling the pain of a breakup. And granted… when it comes to our girlfriends many of us behave in ways that are less than “appropriate” (to say the least). I’m no exception to this.
However, women aren’t saints either. They do their fair share of shitty stuff when it comes to relationships. They too have a knack for stringing guys along, making their lives a living hell, and then kicking them to the curb once they’ve had their fun.
If you’ve been through this before then you know what I’m referring to. And while the logical thing to do in a situation such as this is turn your back on her and walk away… when it comes to breakups logic goes straight out the window.
It’s natural for you to want to get your ex girlfriend back… but some breakups are best left alone. And if you’re considering attempting the hell that is relationship repair, make sure she’s worth it to begin with. It’s better to bite the bullet now then set yourself up for more pain down the road.
So with this in mind, I’m going to list you the 3 types of women that should never be pursued - both during a breakup and in general. And if your ex girlfriend happens to fall into one of the categories then it would be wise for you to let her be.
(One word of warning before we get started: do not read any further if you are easily offended… or in the words of Nicholson if “you can’t handle the truth”…)

How To Break Up With Your Girlfriend
By Dr. George Karanastasis | January 9, 2008
Getting couples back together or keeping them from falling apart is my regular agenda. However, today I thought I’d switch things up.
So with this in mind, this post will show you how to break up with your girlfriend… that is if you’re inclined to do so.
And if you’re not, you might want to consider it. Why? Because, and as it recently came to my attention, April 27th is “National Get In A Fight With Your Girlfriend Day”. I’m not making this up… the guys over at Just Us Nerds said so!
But here’s what I’m thinking: why wait until April? Why not get a head start on everyone else? That way you can proceed to get over her and find a fresh, new girlfriend… which of course you can break up with again when that day comes (or as we do it here, a few months earlier).
So, how to go about it? You’ll find all the details here. I promise you, you won’t be disappointed…

How To Win Her Back - Stupid Advice Even Smart Guys Follow
By Dr. George Karanastasis | January 2, 2008
I love the internet. It provides us with the freedom to post our thoughts to the world. However, that freedom comes at a cost.
Why?
Because our “un-policed” information superhighway lends itself to becoming contaminated with advice that’s not only wrong… but in some cases downright dangerous.
For example, a few days ago I was browsing around for content related to breakups. And in doing so I came across a few “tips” that left me dumbfounded. I couldn’t believe my eyes. Clearly their sources didn’t have the slightest clue of the topic when they sat down at their keyboards to regurgitate such filth.
Therefore, in order to save some unlucky soul of finding out things the hard way, I’ve taken the liberty of reposting them here. My only wish is that anyone searching online for help with a breakup lands on this page first. It will save them a lot of heartache down the road.
Now, let’s get to the meat of the matter… shall we?

By Dr. George Karanastasis | December 30, 2007
Dealing with a breakup is tough - there’s no question about that. It’s not easy to lose the one you love. However, more often than not we make our situation tougher than it needs to be.
Pouring our hearts out to anyone and everyone who will listen is just one of those ways we make things harder on ourselves.
But here’s a question worth asking: do these people genuinely care to listen to our stories… or are they just being polite? Here’s what The Onion has to say about dealing with a breakup. Please read with an open mind…

How To Get Her Back After Scaring Her Away
By Dr. George Karanastasis | December 29, 2007
It’s all too common for relationships to come to a screeching halt just weeks after their beginning. And while the reasons for this are more than I care to count, scaring her away is on the top of the list.
Why? Because when men fall for a girl they fall hard - oftentimes much harder than they should. And what happens? The girl ends up running for the hills to save herself from the soon-to-be suffocating relationship with a “much-to-eager-to-be-with-her” guy.
So, if you’ve recently lost someone due to the above mentioned and you want to get her back, here’s the right way to go about it…

How To Make Up With Your Girlfriend After A Fight
By Dr. George Karanastasis | December 27, 2007
There you are… you’re having a peaceful moment with your girlfriend engaging in meaningless conversation about an equally senseless issue when it comes out of nowhere to blindside you both: a fight so nasty that, after several rounds
of back-and-forth bickering, sends the two of you to your respective corners… banged up and badly bruised.
At first, your ego stands tall fueled by the fury of the recent event. There’s no way in hell you’re taking that initial step toward a resolution, you think to yourself. But like all matters involving conflict, time lends its healing hand here as well and before you know it… you’re feeling calm yet overwhelmed with guilt.
You want to make up with her but you’re clueless as to how you should proceed. You’re embarrassed and at a loss for words because deep down you know that saying “sorry” just ain’t gonna cut it.
So, if you’re finding yourself in this all-too-common situation let me offer you a simple approach that, when followed, virtually guarantees a swift recovery and you’ll soon be chalking up this fight to nothing more than a faint memory of the past.
It all boils down to 3 steps, so here they are…

A Great Christmas Gift For Your Girlfriend
By Dr. George Karanastasis | December 22, 2007
This holiday season I decided to do things a bit different. Instead of getting my girlfriend gifts that are common (even a bit boring) I went ahead and adopted a kitten. She’s not a cat lover but she’s about to become one!
This little gray tabby kitten is the new addition to our family and if you’re stuck on finding a great gift for your girlfriend this Christmas, might I suggest you follow suit and get her a pet. Just look at how adorable he is (pictures were taken at the animal hospital a few weeks ago):
(Click on individual images to enlarge)
Now he just needs a name! Care to suggest one?
