Mel Greig : "The best way to get over a man is to get under a new one"

After recently splitting from her husband, Mel Greig is back on the dating bandwagon and ready to document her single gal experiences exclusively for Be.

Without a doubt one of the hardest things we will go through in life is a break-up. Sadly most women will be heart broken more than once before stumbling on The One. So how do we get over the pain of a wounded heart? For one it doesn’t help wallowing on the couch every night listening to 80s love songs, going through box after box of tissues, ordering take away, scoffing ice cream, and drinking wine (actually yes that part is ok) while looking over your formally loved-up photos over and over again.

Nope. Ladies, speaking from experience you need a game plan to get over your last man. So let me tell you about ‘The 30 Day Contract’ – a practical and oh-so convenient idea I invented back in 2010 after ending a five-year relationship. Rather than wallowing in tears I needed something to get me through the heartbreak without going on a 30-day bender or dying my hair some crazy colour. The 30 Day Contract is basically a fake or temporary relationship for 30 Days – it will wean you off the old guy and get you ready to jump on the next hot one.

Kind of like a rebound fling, but with multiple benefits…

Here’s how it works: for 30 Days you will essentially ‘date’ this new guy – yes this contract involves substantial no-frills-attached sexy-time – but it also includes couch cuddles and a weekly date. It’s like the relationship of your dreams but without the emotional baggage – because you’re unlikely to be ready for that yet after a brutal break up. At the end of the 30 Days, you will amicably part ways with your temporary beau, giving you the freedom to go forth and meet your next dreamy dude. The important note: this Contract must be communicated up front. It can only be entered into once both participants are aware agree on the rules. 30 Days, no strings attached. And you both must agree to the terms of the contract before entering into engagement. Ahem – literally. Do not enter until you agree.

The Essential Rules of The 30 Day Contract

1. You are allowed to see each other three times maximum each week; one of those visits is allowed to be a social event such as dinner or a movie. But the other two days are strictly for sexy time.

2. You cannot meet each other’s friends or family. And don’t take it personally. This is not a long term relationship and you need to remember it will end soon.

3. Do not date or get involved with anyone else during this Contract. You’ve just been through a break up – why would you want to anyway? Remember you are hot, sexy and deserve some rebound action.

4. Do not get drunk and send emotional text messages to your rebound man – unless it’s to plan a late-night hook up. Avoid boozy messages or voice mails with comments such as ‘Where are we going with this?’ or ‘Why don’t you text me every day’ because you know the answer to that.

5. Don’t contact your ex. Like, ever. It ended for a reason.

6. You are encouraged to cuddle and kiss your temporary beau and act like a couple on the designated sexy-time nights – this can build confidence and reassurance you’re a hot, sexy lady!

7. At the end of the 30 Day Contract you part ways, thank each other, kiss (maybe canoodle under the covers one more time) and you cut each other off and have no contact for the next 30 Days.

The best part of the 30 Day Contract? It can help build your confidence and get you through the initial pain after a heart-crushing break up. It helps if you find a guy who’s been through a recent split too. You’re less likely to tear into the Ben & Jerry’s when there’s a hot guy tearing your clothes off – yah hear me? After your 30-day fling you will transition into dating life with a glow and a new focus on what you want – and what you don’t want – in your next relationship.

Trust me, the 30 Day Contract is the best thing I ever did.

Ladies we have a habit of letting our emotions control us. You need to put them aside if you want this contract to work. YOU CAN NOT FALL IN LOVE WITH YOUR 30-DAY FLING GUY. At the end of the romp-fest, you might end up liking each other, but you can’t think it’s an option to enter a relationship during the Contract. This deal worked incredibly well for me and eight years on I’m still friends with my contract guy.

My final tip –to all newly-single ladies: have fun. Enjoy this well-deserved YOU time.

Just remember to play by the rules.
