I said this to my sister when she was getting over her ex-boyfriend.

The more you stop thinking about him, and as time goes on you will begin to forget about how it used to be, what it was like to be with him.

Most of the repliers are right, i also think that as time passes the feeling of still wanting to be with that person as a couple will diminish. I still do have the occasional times when i'm thinking that I will think of him and wondering how he is now. But aside from that no more wanting to be in a relationship with him. For me I wouldn't throw out things that reminds me of him, since that is part of my past and I wouldn't want to forget totally. So what I did was put everything away in a box, or in a locked safe or something. Another interesting thing is doing a time capsule or something like that.

you dont get over it..what i mean is u dont have to force yourself to forget that person, like me, i love my first love so much, i reach the point where ill give my life for her, so when sth like that is happening, you keep it as a memory forever. well try to remember the positive things of it and remember it 4ever tho, not the bad ones. but u should take the bads as an exp for u new relationship.

like they say, the end of an old relationship, is the start of a new one ^O^

when he leaves you forever, get a job, take up hobbies, apply yourself— fill your life with so much worth that you haven’t got any time left to doubt it.

I guess I'm in that kind of situation right now. I tried to much to try to forget. But it just seems like everything i do, they just pop up out of nowhere in your head, and when you thought that you may have already let go, memories just came back up and i am reminded of it, and it hurts. i've read everything on this post, and i agree, but it is just so hard. so very hard...

It's not that hard to get over someone. Just think of them as a new friend of yours and both your lives go on even if you guys breakup. It's not like the end of the world or anything.

the easiest way to get over someone is to find someone else.

That happened to me... and my way is to avoid the guy - but now we're slowly hanging out again. Talking to another friend about it is a good way to get over things.
