Just like my topic,I want to know how to forget the guy that hurted you,and need your help.
Once I met a good boy,and felt in love with him from the first sight.At that time I didn't know his feelings about me,but he was gentle and treated me very well.Suddenly,on my that birthday,he said some sweet words to me,including"i like you","I would like you to be my GF". That made me be overhappy,and I promised him.
Time passed so quickly.I introduced him to my friends,they liked him except Lala,my best friend.She told me that the guy was another girls boyfriend,not my!It really shocked me!!He lied to me and cheated my feeling. The best way to prevent the further hurt was to break-up.We did!I couldn't bear this behavior!
.........
Three years have passed,I always want to forget him,but I didn't!I didn't know how to forget him!
Dear my friends,do you have better way to do this?

I suggest u to dump him from your life and give a space from some other guy it would be better for you. Try to forget him as possible as u can and try to be happy with some one else and please don't forgive him OK.

Keep busy. Watch comedies, read books, meditate and pray (or whatever you believe in and if you don't believe in anything, skip that). Find another to love. In time you will find someone very special. Some people are hard to forget. Not sure if this was your first serious love, but that could be part of the problem-first loves are really hard to forget. Join clubs, go where nice guys and people usually hang out. Check people out before you date them, etc. I was hurt very badly like you with the first guy I fell for, but he had tons of girlfriends besides me. He got drunk one night and confessed to me. Like you, it took me a long time to get over him. But now I'm happily married and don't give that idiot a thought, until this discussion.
Bottom line, there is someone way better out there for you. It will take time, but you will find each other. Peace and love.

Dear miranda, I understand that love can be irrational at times. You knew jolly well that the guy is a flirt, but you still can't seem to get him out of your mind. I believe somewhere deep down in you, you still secretly harbor the belief that he is not such a person, am I right? Why don't you try to let go? Decide NOW that you won't want to have anything to do with that flirt anymore. Then let go of your love for him. You can imagine letting go of a balloon and let it disappear into the atmosphere, out of sight forever. I'm sure somewhere along the way, another guy out there deserves your love more.

hmmm nice question..in my own opinion, it's really hard to forget a person that makes you cry because i know that you love that guy much..and for me, you don't have to ignore him just because he hurt you..instead, make friends with him, by that,you will feel better rather than to cry and feel the hurt made by him..

i think, i should honestly tell you that i dont know but i think we should forget that person and never think about that guy who hurtred you if that person has done this thing first time then we should leave it but menior time then we never talk to that guy.

i find that you should start to find your parnter again.it is easy to forget him.i have experience like yours and never forget for several years and still live alone.although it is good way to cure my scar.but living alone make me sad and espcially miss him.so i start a new love and find my happyness,so you should open your heart and start to find new love.i believe that you can find your heart's love.

I was really sad when Alok and I split up because we had been together for a long time, then I woke up one day and I realized that I was a great person who deserved someone who would be better to me. I just decided that i didn't need a guy to validate me and I stopped caring. Blocked his email, destroyed pictures and letters. I feel better now.

Girl,your still very young, you can still met much better than him..in my experienced,the more i want to forget him,the more i cant,so just keep myself busy to my mind could not have time to think of him,but when im alone in bed there he is again occupying my mind and would not let me sleep,but as time pass by he will slowly steeping out of your life,you may not completely forget him,but the pain is still not there when you think of him,and you will learn that in life is like that..you win some you lose some..mine is much difficult to forget dear,bcos we have a child that its like a mini him version,alhtoug just like you i havent forgotten him and maybe i will not,but i dont feel much pain now...later maybe if i fall in love again,thats the time i would know i dont have feelings for him..hey check out my discussion im sure you can relate..have a nice day!

Most of the times,I think I have already forgotten him.But at some certain times,i thought of him and felt heartache.He was still in my heart,though occupied a little space.

don't forget the guy, miranda. otherwise, you may cross path, be friends, and trust the guy again. but this time, the guy will be in another guy's body, with another name, but basically the same -- in character and in deed. what i am saying is don't forget people, or more appropriately, bad guys, who inflict pain and do harm, they are always there waiting for the opportunity to hurt or take advantage of other people... next time, be more discreet... probity, which i know you have, will guide you... you have lessons from the past to help you...

you won't forget him. he is someone you opened your heart to. He lied to you and had another girlfriend which isn't a good boyfriend to have or to have a relationship with. You will find a guy who really loves you and who deserves you. the best to you.

Hello Miranda521,
Yes, I broke up with my boyfriend for over 10 years. I am in 40's. Yes, I am out dating again. It not easy but I am learning alot about me. Forgiveness of the old boyrfriend is the key to move one with a free spirit. Remember he lied to you. You did nothing wrong and was this your first major boyfriend? You will fined someones esle that will make your heart flutter. You are young so the odds arevery good for you. Where in my case a lot harder to do since so many are married or could care less about a marriage again from the wifes taking them to cleaners etc...
You will fined another guy. This is a learning curve. You found out you do not like guys who lie too you etc...
Good Luck
Sincerely unique16

I think you still can't forgive him for everything he has done to you, that's why you can't forget him. You should give your forgiveness to him, so u can really released from him. I ever had a situation like you, when i broke up with my ex, i really hate him, i cursed him that i would never forgive him. But that makes me really hard to forget everything about him, the more i hate, the more i remember all the things he has done to me. So i start to forgive him, and now i feel more released than before.
