Serious relationships are tough to let go and creativity is the last thing on anyone's mind. Generally, these kinds of events are quite tearful and full of arguments, and if you are a third party to the scene, then you are going to get a lot of explanations and justifications of who is right and who is wrong, by the time you start feeling that both were right to break up but wrong to keep on talking about it. So what could be some creating ways to make the whole world happy? Or irritated? Well for your friends and family's peace of mind you will need to stir your gray cells and do some lateral thinking.

Invite your mate to a romantic candle light dinner, whoever comes to serve you, just behave in an over-friendly manner and later tell your mate that you have fallen for the other person instantly. It's a severe case of love at first sight.

Keep calling your mate several times a day to say you want to say something, but cannot remember and then hang up. After a few weeks, when your mate is on his or her verge of insanity, call at the middle of the night to say that you just remembered and anyways it's not a very important thing...It is just that you want to break up! And wait for the response if you have got to be a patient listener or better keep some cotton buds.

If you have been getting a lot of gifts from your ex, then just wrap them up beautifully with a heart-shaped balloon and a break up card; yes, you can get many of them, with beautiful poetry inside! And you know whom to send it to. Better, if you take out the perfume bottles and leave the cover only!

Visit a stuffed toys store with your mate everyday for a few days but don't buy anything and don't talk about it. The moment he or she asks what's on your mind, just tell I am confused, I like many of them, but not sure who could I marry? Be prepared to go to a psychiatrist and behave weirder. Get well as soon as you have broken up.

Take a walk every evening in a kid's park and keep asking the question every now and then, Do you think this kid looks like me? After a few days, declare that you still remember your ex and just trying to find out.

All these tricks may not work well if you are not sincere and dedicated enough. Some people carry an invisible pint of super glue and may try to stick to you as strongly as possible. But let it not deter you from reaching your goal, give these tricks and yourself a little time to play around. Here you have to be persistent and you are on your way to the glory and bliss of freedom!
