To Get over Someone, You Need to Date Someone else

3

You Can Never Get Back with Your Ex

You Can Never Get Back with Your Ex No, getting back with your ex isn't always a good idea. Of course, sometimes exes can become husbands and wives. Every situation is different.

4

You Can Still Be Friends

You Can Still Be Friends It's extremely rare for exes to remain friends for years after the breakup. It's possible, but it's not common, so don't beat yourself up if you can't stand being around your ex.

5

You Need Closure

You Need Closure It's always nice to get closure, but it won't always happen. Sometimes, someone will break up with you without telling you why or giving you a chance to say goodbye. It's just something you'll have to get over.

It Takes 1/2 the Total Relationship to Get over Them

phenomenon, screenshot, can't, just, shut, Sorry to break it to you but there's no deadline on getting over a ex. Could be days, years, or never. So don't let anyone tell you that you should be out of the shit-pit called heartbreak by a certain date because it's not true.

Ice Cream and Booze Cure HeartbrEak

Show up Where He is Looking HOt

screenshot, interaction, Let's, friends., Seriously whoever thought of this is utterly ridiculous! First off, if you had to search to find him, you'll just end up looking like a cliché crazy ex or worse, a stalker! Instead, why don't you try acting totally cool about it like y'all can still be friends so he doesn't have to contemplate a restraining order.

Are you going through a rough breakup?

Where Thoughts and Opinions Converge

I was pretty much supposed to back off of him

Yes it has been like eight months with out him and I still can't get the fucking over him

But I really liked him. But eventually I got over him.

Well she is right, I was with my BF for over 2 years and we broke up for a little while then we got back together and ended up getting married! Anything is possible!

Same here it's been about 7 months and I can feel myself getting better but I still have those days.

There's an ex that it took me a while to get over with. I'm still friends with him. The chemistry never faded and we just genuinely like each other. It's just that the relationship didn't work.

Yes it been almost a yeAr now n in still not over him

I have a similar experience to you guys. Except I wasn't dating the guy. I really liked him for a few months and he was in all of my classes. I felt like we got along really well too. Then I found out he had started dating this girl I really couldn't stand

Please replace that annoying pic on deleting from Facebook. It hurts my eyes and makes me nauseous

A lot of comments here about not being able to get over him. I just want to say. Ive been there. Bad breakup a year ago, and sometimes i find myself thinking about him and how life would have been. But i know, even if he came back, i wouldn't want to try again. That's how you accept it is over. Dont worry girls, life really really does get better, if u make it better. Things don't just happen, you have to make them. Just remember, no guy who makes you cry is worth pining over. I know it might sound stupid to you, but every one of you is better than that and would find a guy who wont make you hurt. :) hang in there
