Get out and do things that won't remind you of the ex. Go with friends and have some fun and when you think of him or her think of the reason they are the ex...............

You have to remember "there's a reason why exes are exes". I'm sure you remember why you broke up and what went wrong with the relationship. Remind yourself.\n\nKeep contact with her to a minimum - be polite but don't get involved in long conversations.\n\nOf course, if you're going to run into her socially, you could bring along a female friend (it doesn't have to be someone you're dating). That way she gets the idea that you've moved on and are taken, which kind eliminates the situation...

I hang with friends, do my artwork, I find things to take my mind off of the person I just broke up with.  Go for a ride, take a walk.  Focus on better things than think about the break up.

I went through the same thing.  It took me two years go get over my ex which was the hardest thing because he was the love of my life (never felt that way before). I'm sorry to bring it to you, but you will never forget.\n\nEven bad memories you can't forget (a bastard I dated who I do not like to remember at all). I try to forget, you just can't.\n\nThe most that you can do is preoccupy yourself. At first it will be very hard because all you can do is think and be reminded of the things that happened, but TIME (as much I as I hate saying it) will do its thing.\n\nI know this doesn't help much and you're probably not going to listen, but it's the hardcore truth.\n\nSome people like to do dramatic changes in their life and it's something you can try (change the way you look, change your diet, change your routine, etc), but if you don't want change, then TIME again.  Some like to do outrageous things (date a lot of people at once w/o having a care in the world - NOT recommended!, immerse themself in work/school/social world, etc) \n\nBut whatever you do, it'll still be there (even the faintest memory will linger).  Mine still does (both the good & the bad) and after a while you just deal with it.  I even still cry. It has been 3 years now (the love one).\n\nIt's also helpful if you help those who are like you. It's therapeutic rather than talking about your problems if you can relate to other people (***like me!***)

What you're really asking is, 'how can you forget?'  You can never forget. It's part of life.  What you can do is face it, look forward, not back.  What you need to realize is it's ok to remember, because you just will... But, put it where it belongs and move on...

Don't know your circumstances but I will tell you what worked (eventually) for me. \n1. Pretend your ex has died. Sounds severe but forces you to forget about "getting back together".\n2. Make yourself absolutely un-available to the ex. Take comfort in knowing they will miss you. Be a mystery.\n3. Rid yourself (or at least attempt to) of your worst personal defect. Are you overweight? Any addictions? Unemployed? In debt? Pick one and do what it takes to fix it.\n4. Don't take heartbreak or the break-up too personal. I personally think testosterone (and estrogen)cause insanity.\n5. Remember this: You cannot make someone love you. All you can do is be someone who can be loved.The rest is up to them. Go to link below for more like this.\n6. Above all, do something positive, for you.

I'm not sure how long ago the two of you broke up, or what caused it, but the main thing you need is time. Allow yourself time to get over the break up, to get your life back on track without him. You cant just shrug your shoulders and turn around and forget about him, he has been half your life for more then 3 years. So don't lock yourself up in the house surrounded with his pictures mourning, but don't loose yourself in going out and partying each night either. take it easy. See friends, do fun things,a nd take time to be alone and cry if you need to. You feel whats best for you at the moment. And you know what? One day you will wake up and feel that you are ready to move on. Good luck!

It's really hard to forget someone that you love. But you've got to move on. Try to make yourself busy. Hanging out with your friends, doing exercises, and meeting new people. Remember do not stay alone! It'll make you feel upset and think about her again!!!!!!! Good Luck!

Maybe your trying too hard?  Trying so hard not to think of your ex that that is all you are thinking about is not thinking about your ex?  Relax, apologize and be honest.

The best way for us to forget a woman is to find another woman. Then you'll realize how much better you have it with the new woman than the old one

if you think its best to forget him, then you need to get busy, and stay busy. the best way to get your mind off of something is to put your mind on something else. although i dont believe you will "forget." forgetting is something we rarely achieve.

Think about all the reasons why he's your ex...after all that thought and consideration, you'll realize he's your ex for a reason...Move on!

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.
