keep your mind active and try to stay away from stuff that might remind you of them. Go out on dates with new people, hang with your friends. it's really just self-control of your mind.

hotti, i was in the same situation.  I loved him and he cheated so i broke up w/ him.  It was hard to get over and i thought that i would never get over him, but i did.  \n\nFirst, get rid of anythign and everythign that reminds you of him.  EX:  Pics, notes, letters...ect\n\nNext, now that you have your mind off of him, keep ot off and try new things.  Make sure to be having fun.  Go to a club and hang out with friends.  Party.  Then do more fun stuff like somethign you never did b4.  If you have nvr been surfing, try that.  Or try any of these:\n~skydiving\n~bunjee jumping\n~eat a lot of ice cream\n~introduce urself to a new type of music\n~go to a concert and 'Rock out!!'\n~get a journal and in a red pen write "I hate _________"  (fill his name in)  and fill the whole jorrnal.  If that dont work, use a more appropriate word, like a*s*s* , jerk, loser, or anythign else.  Be creative.\n~hang out with a million other people you dont know\n~have a night on the town with your mom or best friend.\n\nHere are some really fun things that you could do to get him mad:\n~order magazines in his name and send them to his house.  Make sure thay are girly or childish magazines\n~sneak into his house and draw all over his face with red marker\n~hang all of his underwear outside with a sign that says "A*S*S* crack undies.  Free.  Never been used.  lol (do you get it)\n~Just have fun.\n\nI hope i helped.  Dont cry over a jerk.  You will definately find a better guy who loves every part of you no matter what.

Letting go isn't easy. \n\nThe best thing to do here is to let go of all committments you've had with this ex of yours and begin to learn how to trust yourself again.\n\nOnce you've learned how to trust yourself again, give every new person that walks into your life from then on a fair and equal chance at getting to know you as a person and to know your heart once again. \n\nYou never know when the next person will enter your life and if that new person is the right one for you.

What my grandmother said was the best way to get over someone is to get under someone.\n\nI though that was a funny joke, but it turns out it is scientifically accurate. Getting intimate with someone releases hormones that get you "over" the other person.

Find som1 else. It will help you forget. Be open and dont shut others from you. If you dont let any1 in, and cling to her memories, you will never be able to move on. If she does not love u, dont waste your time thinking of her, find somelse who recognises your worth. You will be a lot happier. Its not empty talks, its experience talking. I missed out 3 years of my life clinging to memories

Firstly, I personally believe you can never completely stop loving someone if you truely loved them once. So yes, in my opinion it is possible for you to get some of your old feelings back when you meet your ex again. I guess if that happens, then you have to weigh up your options and decide what is best for you and what direction to take.

Yours?  Get involved in something else.  Do not dwell on the past.\nA friend?  Listen.  Help keep their mind on something else.  Hugs do wonders.\nStay away from tear-jerker movies, songs and book.  Go for the light hearted.\nHearts can be broken, but they do heal.

You could start by reading the million other posts and responses on how to get over someone.  Most of them will tell you the same thing, the only thing that is going to make you feel better is time.  Forgiving is easy, just do it, forgetting however, is a different story.  You will never forget him or the good and bad times you shared, it's impossible without the assistance of a labotamy (sp*).  So forgive, take all the time necessary and do your best to keep your self respect and move on.

You don't get over it, you learn from it. You look at why it didn't work out, and hopefully change things so that the next time you are in love you will not make the same mistakes. Or you could try and get it back. You know the old saying, if its truely love and you let it go, it comes back to you. If it never returns it wasn't truely love to begin with. Or my personal favorite, find someone that looks exactly like your love, F**** him dump him, laugh with your friends about it later.(just kidding)I find a little laughter and joking sometimes eases the pain ya know what I mean!

all of the things that youu have left over from the relationship, (hats, clothes, pictures etc.) put them away in a box and write a letter to yourself, and then to your ex- telling her that you love her, and that you have to let her go. then put the letters in the box, and put the box away in a closet, or something. only look at it once a month, after a while it doesn't hurt anymore. you still love the person, but most of the times you'll figure that if you were meant to be together than it will happen again.

Your used to someone, used to having fun with them, used to loving them and used to just generally having them around.  When you get your heart broken, its unlikely you can remain friends with someone you've had such a deep understand with and thus its more then like that you've got to start from scratch.  Mainly, its the fear that you'll never have that again and never be happy again.  The best way to get over a break-up is to tell yourself that "she/he wasn't worth my time and that some other lucky person will be worth it in the future".

You don’t have to forget something or someone to move on.  The past is what makes us who we are.  Even the bad things in the past help us develop into the people we are.\n\nThe past can be painful.  The best thing to do is talk with someone you trust.  Discuss what it is that is bothering you, and then decide on what you are going to do to fix it.  By taking an active roll in your healing process you can “move on” sooner and feel better about it.

I think the best course of action is to have no contact with her if possible.  It's hard when your heart still pulls you towards someone even though you know there is nothing but heartache there.  Do your best to stay occupied, filling your time with other friends, hobbies, work, etc so that eventually not thinking of her becomes more of a habit.  OR...as my 77 yr.old grandmother told me during a breakup..."the best way to get over one...is to get under one!" ;-)  Good luck!

The best cure for an old love is a new love.  Get out there and try to meet a lot of new people, and hopefully you will find someone soon.

cheer up shinny star,shit happens but we must mourn our losses,dust ourselves up and move on with our lives.a wise person once told me that it's better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all,if it was really meant to be he'll be back,but if it's not dry those tears and brace yourself cause love is hard babie.4yrs is a long time,take your time to heal don't jump into anything on the rebound,forgive yourself cause you're blaming yourself.life goes on and that dreadful feeling will fade away with time,most importantly,forgive urself

Someone once told me that it takes 2 times the length you had feelings for the other person to get over that person.  If your feelings lasted 4 years, it will take 8 years to heal!!\n\nI agree that time is really the only remedy for a broken heart.  Take some time to think about how life was before you started the relationship.  Think back to those "happy" memories.  Do things on your own or with a few close friends of yours.  Keep yourself busy.  If you can find lots and lots of thing to do, the time to heal will flash by in a blink of an eye.  There are many things to do to keep a mind occupied!! haha
