OK I have a question since I'm concerned for a friend of mine, a scorpio. What does a guy typically do to get over a breakup for a relationship that he thought was strong?
I was going to take him out for drinks and let him laugh at me which is his typical amusement when we hang. But what is that guys do (or should do) to get over a heartbreak? I've never really had a male friend during the time of a breakup and I know what I would say to a girl... but men are funny.
Or is this a solitary let him wallow until he comes out of the cave scenerio which is so alien to a girls way of thinking?

He's my friend not my lover or my ex... just a friend. But he's a great GREAT guy. I know what I would tell a female friend but I just am lost on how a guy gets over a breakup.
So if he throws sharp objects at me I'm tossing them back at him. Hmm starting an argument so he can yell me.. but I don't want to make him feel worse, so that's out.
It breaks my heart that this guy would be hurt! I'm not about to offer myself as the consolation prize but I can't think of any other way other than finding a way to make myself look stupid so he can advise me to cheer him up right now. It's kind of scary the isolation and despair a guy friend can feel when we aren't looking.

I don't think theres much you can do..just be there for him when he wants to talk..other than that, he'll mostly deal with it in his own way. As long as he knows your there if he needs to talk..thats it.

PUtting his sign aside, a man in general deals with break ups his own way. Men tend to hide their feelings about a breakup or cover it up with the guys. If you're close to the guy, just make sure to tell him that you're there for him if he wants to talk, but I wouldn't push the topic with him. Every couple of days, maybe call him up and ask how he's doing, but don't do it in a depressing manner...be chipper and make the gesture in general, not about the break up.
Let him come to you to talk.

I knew something was wrong weeks ago when he showed up at my place telling me that 'if I ever need to talk that he was there.' He's a good friend but that was out of blue enough to signal 'come on in, what happened.' So I've known for weeks and given him time. And I have been poking at him to make him laugh every couple days. But I know if he was a girl I would have told her 'honey he wasn't worth you anyhow' but that doesn't seem to work with men.
C'est la vie... beer night is on and I don't drink beer. ::Grumbles he's been there for me so it's only fair but his way of being there was yelling at me to get over myself because he didn't want to hear me whine::
Men are odd in this fashion.
well, as a guy speaking of other guys, get him out and meeting girls.

he would do that better on his own with the guys as 'I scare away the 'hoes' because of my oddball confidence.' And don't get me wrong here because he's the most macho masculine guy that I know and normally he's so secure about himself which is probably what makes me want to find something else to do for him. Women were fighting over this guy and one of my own employees (before I was the boss) would throw herself in the middle of our conversations to shake her booty in front of him. (Hmm definately not telling her as I like the work she does for me.) I was so happy to see this guy in a relationship where he was happy.
It's like seeing the mighty fall here.
remember to take away his phone if you get drunk
