Stay single and get to know yourself don't ever get in a relationship if you are not happy with yourself first. you need time to get to know you. go out with friends and keep your eyes off of people you could "get with" just focus on quality time with your friends. you will know when you are over your ex. trust me.

I have only had 1 breakup that really effected me! I spent about 2 weeks crying and hanging out with friends/family! Then I realized he wasn't worth crying over...so I stopped all of that! Then I had a night out with all my girls!! That usually helps a lot! When he came back around 3 months later...i tried being friends with him. It didn't work out! I find it best to just cut off all ties to that person and move on!! Which I have done! But that's just me! :)

A girls night out is generally a pretty good cure.

Give yourself permission to grieve the loss. Just tell yourself it is ok to feel the way you do. You have to go through to get to the other side!

Question Asker Thanks for your concern. But I have no loss to grieve because I haven't been involved in a serious relationship for quite some time. I don't know though. simply grieving seems like a waste of time. - 4 months ago
Answerer Sorry I just assumed you asked the question because you broke up with someone.

What I mean about giving yourself permission is you get over it much quicker, cause yes who wasn't to waste time and energy over someone who doesn't want them.

It seems when we try to put the hurt down inside it just keep bubbling up and it takes longer. WE may find something to distract us for a while but it still comes back to haunt us....I just say deal with it and get over it.

Wipe her from existence, get rid of everything that may remind yourself of her.

Sorry but C and E don't qualify as a getting over her - especially E. There may be some temporary isolation, but it won't help unless it's filled with some activity. Otherwise you have too much time to dwell on what was, what could have been.

Question Asker I realize that both are not ways of getting over an ex. I just wanted to see what other people do. Maybe some people do that. - 4 months ago
Answerer Some things are matters of curiosity, but the people who choose those two aren't going to make progress. if you look at 5 real options instead of 3, you'll get more feedback you can really use. - 4 months ago

It really depends on your relationship that you had with the other person. If it was sexual then do the sex with other people route. if it was a time consuming commitment where she is constantly calling you then you need the complete separation. but my thought is that you need support, whether it comes from family or friends is no matter. genuine support is the first and most important thing in my book.
