TIPS on getting over an EX-BOYFRIEND...

There's no easy way to get over someone you love or have been with for a long time, I really couldn't imagine how divorced people could get over their ex-spouse. But, on the lighter side - getting over a boyfriend or a girlfriend. I could remember asking the same thing to my brother when he and his past girlfriend separated. I wanted to see how men think as I would know how a woman would think. He simply told me that he avoids thinking of the good side, instead he'd think about why the relationship needed to end. He says that thinking of the good stuff only makes you yearn for the other person, but instead of ballooning the emotion by thinking of the good moments, focusing on the bad would justify the need of the parties to separate. I think that's a good tip. Think more on the bad side. Whenever you think about how you miss the guy, remember how he mistreats you, or doesn't show compassion or simply - why the two of you are not meant for each other. It's easier said than done, but believe me, once you're over someone, you'd definitely laugh at yourself from moping over such a guy in the first place. Good luck!!

I would another one...........find another boyfriend. There s a lot of fish in the sea. I really thing that your suggestions are valid. Socialising is the key issue. Being open to others helps you to overcome your pain and emotional turmoil. Friends help ups to overcome such problems.

by the way... buyin new shoes will neva keep ur mind away frm him... its jus to fool ourselves.

really hard to get over relationships lik this... tat too if it was a very long term relationship. i was in luv wiht a guy for over 8 yrs and neva knew he was cheatin on me... he had a very very honest and Mr.Perfect image in front of everybody.. finally whn i knew it i waz married to somebody else.. but still i feel bad tat we being cheated whn i was with him. jus feel lik avenging for it..

yes, that's all true. i made friends to other people and i make myself always busy. After crying for a month, now i am a better person, more pretty. I can now say, that i move on by hanging out with colleagues, party. i let my self free which i can't do when I'm with him.

Like a poster above said, there is no easy or right way to get over someone. After a tough break up that I experienced, I found comfort in doing things that I enjoy. (watching sports, hanging with friends, going roller blading). My advice to someone going through a break up, make a list of five things that you really enjoy and spend time doing those things.

Find things to do. Meet new people. Concentrate on yourself. Don't worry about him anymore.

A lot of good advice had been said but nothing matters most than acceptance. Don't deny the hurt and most especially don't deny the lessons that you learned after the relationship has ended. Besides, it made you a better person... hopefully.

to get over one guy, get on top of another? sorry for the levity but it helps!

If something rankles within me I write things down. It helps clear my mind, as I know that I have it on paper and can always reread it instead of keeping on thinking about it. It is not necessarily something you only have to do when mourning over an ex.

My friend should read this. =) Getting over something is more of a mind set.
