    I was wondering if anyone has any advice for someone who's boyfriend just broke up with her. She said "he asked me out but then 2 days later he said he didn't wanna get into a relationship cuz he hates them and wasn't thinking it through"
    My friend keeps talking about it and have no idea what to say >.< Thanks for any help

    Well, if she's upset, just be there for her as a shoulder to cry on. Honestly, having a friend at a time like that is the best thing for her.
    If she's angry, on the other hand, it's a whole different ballgame. My best guess would be to say things like, "You're absolutely right, that was horrible of him to do such a thing," but try to help her back down from it some. Like, oh yes that was awful of him--oh, look at that guy over there! kind of stuff.
    It's tough to say, but mainly is a "be-there-for-her" thing instead of an "advice" thing.
    Good luck!

    I agree with MeskElil. I think you just need to be there for her and help her.

    She probably could use a diversion. Why not take her out somewhere for fun? To a movie (NOT a romance or romantic comedy!), an amusement park, shopping, bowling - anywhere where you can have some fun, and she can remove her mind from him for awhile.
