Start doing things for yourself.  Follow a dream, get a new hobby, find an activity you always wanted to try.  The key is to do something that you can feel good about doing for yourself, regardless of whos in or out of your life.\n\nIt seems you're thinking too much the guy , a guy  or having no guy.   Your life's about making the most of an opportunity to find and do what makes you happy.  People will come and go and when the right guy comes along, he'll  see how you're enjoying life and want to be part of that... not see that you are waiting for him and give up his life to be the center of yours. Hope this helps put things in perspective.

I don't understand why do you want to forget someone.. coz you are not with each other,, well just change your outlook... remember the good things that you had with him or her and not curse the bad stuff \n\nits the way you look at it \n\nlet me know what u wanna in ur life \n\neverything you do is your choice

getting over someone takes time.  All you can really do is surround yourself with friends, positive energy and anything that comforts you.\nGood luck! and be strong and true to yourself.

Just keep busy with something else but him. I've been in your shoe before and when everything turned bad I felt very sorry. I ruined our friendship. Thinking of someone is exhausting especially if he never think of you the same way you do

that already happened to me...its very difficult to get over this guy...specially if he always talks to you..i bet he only thinks of you as a friend, so when he comes talk to you, always smile and be nice (because someday..act like a friend...but you should try to replace him... look for some new guys and eventually kiss them...make new friends and go out with them.... be sure to always be occupied and try to think of him the least possible... each day that passes you will see that your love will decrease...

The best way to get an ex out of your head is to erase him.\n\nDelete his number from your contact on your phone.\n[so you don't think about him when you are scrolling through]\n\nDelete/destroy emails/letters he has sent you.\n[Reminiscing in the past is BAD]\n\nGet rid of photos\n[The less you see him the less you will think about him.]\n\nJust start over. Like life was before you met him.\n\nSoon you will think about him less and less. Then move on.\n\nIt is easy to hide your feeling from someone that doesn't exist to you anymore.

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.

call him up, let him know u were thinking about him, catch up whats been going on and then ease that part in, it has always worked for me

thats what happened to me  and i am learning to keep my self busy and not thinking about him and i think its working cuz now i don't think about him as much as i used to so my advise to you is to try to forget about him unless you know he will be back cus if he doesnt go back whats the point of liking someone who you know he won't be with you...so please dont waist your time and try to forget about him look for someone who will be there with you.good luck

You might never forget, i still think about someone from 15 years ago. Unless they were total a__holes why forget? Keep the good parts and look for someone that has those parts in them as you move forward. Relationships and friendships come and go, but you need to be able to talk it out with someone to at least start the healing. The mind and heart suck sometimes!

Why would you want to keep your mind off of him?\nWhat I mean is, you are going to miss him that is normal, but if you don't want to sit around moping about him what you could do is go out and enjoy yourself, doing things you like to do.\nIt's the summer time so why not go swimming, or go for a work out at the gym, or if you like to read, go to poetry shops if there are any close to you.\nThere is one more thing you could do and if it is possible, If you can talk to your guy on a regular bases why not set-up a regular time when you are to talk to each other example:\nEvery Tuesday at 4:00 pm.\nThat way you don't think about him so much til Tuesday comes around, believe me two months is not a very long time it will breeze by so quickly, as long as you fill your days with so much that when night time comes you will fall asleep right away.\nIt will be okay. Best Wishes ( :

stay busy. pick up a hobby or renew an old one. go to the gym. spend time with family and friends. watch movies. read books. but do not keep thinking about him. the only true way to forget is to let time pass by. you can only let time pass by if you spend time doing something else. \n\nand last but not least, learn to accept your loss. talk with a good friend about it. dont be afraid to reach out to a friend to talk. and if you dont have one to go to, find a therapist to help you. you cannot forget an ex all on your own.\n\nafter a while you will slowly forget him. but it takes time. good luck.

It's kinda hard to forget some one you loved but if you still care about her in to some extent then don't try to forget about her keep talking to her (as just a friend) and remember the good times but keep an open mind and start dating new people. If you just completly hate her all of a sudden and want to forget about her for good the best thing to do is not think about how much you dislike her and just don't think about any memories of her. Continue on with your own life. Date new people, go out for a few drinks with your buddies, just have a good time.

You have to distract yourself...HAVE TO. Or else you'll always think about him, always dream about him, always hope for him. Get out of the house, go out with your girlfriends, take a bubble bath, dance to music...do whatever you can to take him off your mind. \n\nPlace your studies first - they are important - and you'll end up regretting it later if you don't. You have to drown yourself in your studies if you want to forget him. I fell behind in my studies because I always though about this one guy and then my grades SEVERELY suffered because of it. Now looking back on it, it wasn't even worth it. \n\nRead until you're very tired before you go to bed so you won't toss and turn about him. I went through something similar as well, and I'm gradually letting it go piece by piece as I distract myself more and more. You have to keep telling yourself that you have more important things to worry about or else you'll keep on thinking about him.

You will never forget him.  Right now it hurts but everyday it will hurt less and less.  You won't think of him as often.  And one day you will meet a man that seems to have walked out of your dreams and when that happens you won't remember the name of the one that hurt.
