How can I get over someone?

If you have a clear understanding of why the relationship ended, and you decide that no longer being together is for the best, I would go with the 'out of sight, out of mind' advice. No contact, put everything that you have that would remind you of the relationship away, give any of her belongings back. This will give you a good starting point to begin the healing process. That, in a nutshell, is nothing but time. But, spend it wisely. Spend lots of time with friends, meeting new people, being happy with your life and who you are. There's nothing you can do to speed up the process. Just enjoy your life and live it to its fullest. The right one will come along someday, and what is meant to be, will be.

Well the most effective way is to become a cynic and view relationships as non essential and shallow.

But if that doesn't sound appealing, only time will help.

Before you consider moving on, think about the reason WHY you want to move on and WHY you don't want to move on. If you do want to seriously move on then the first thing to do is to take all the stuff that reminds you of her down. GET RID OF IT ALL! Pack it in a little box and put it deep into your closet.

Next thing is to go out. If you're sitting around dwelling on the past you'll never get past it. Go out with friends and get your mind off her. Next thing would be to buy yourself something. I mean c'mon. You deserve it right?

First, get rid of all her things. If you want to forget her, then you need to rid yourself of the things that remind you of her as much as possible. Next, surround yourself with other people. Go out and have fun. Get your mind off her. Finally, start dating again. There are plenty of fish in the sea and the more you meet, the greater your chances of success.
