How are/do/did YOU move on? Options

[da_SALSA]

Honestly, I'm having a very hard time moving on from my last break up. I see him everyday in school and it's hard to ignore him when he's trying to get my attention. So, I was wondering how are/do/did you move on?

I'm trying to ignore his existence until I'm alright by picking up a new hobby, learning the guitar, and getting myself busy w/ my friends.

Well for me it's really hard. We see each other and talk to each other pretty much 24/7. I hang out with him everyday at school and we're like best friends. For me, my feelings for him are on and off since we broke up. But i just remind myself that he never wants to be with me again and we were better friends then bf/gf anyways.

[_sarcastic_]

good for you that you're picking up something new to forget him

i got over my ex pretty quickly to my surprise. well it was a long distance relationship so i just blocked off all contact with him (email, msn etc)
for awhile i couldn't stop crying, but i just started to go out to the mall with my friends more often

Block off all contacts. Pretend I don't see him at school. Remind myself of all the horrible things he did while we were together, like all those broken promises and such. Listened to a lot of songs about breaking up. Vented on Xanga. Bitched to my friends about him. Everytime that I caught myself thinking about him, or about the what if's, and the could have's, I made myself think of 5 bad things about him, or just think about something different.

Took me about 1-2 months to convince myself that we weren't meant to be...and another 3-4 months to get completely over him. Long I know..but then again that was my first break up...so now I have the experience =P

haha i knew my ex's whole schedule...
and i saw him walking to class every day & i knew the time he passed by
so today since its the first day after break up
i waited or left a little earlier from my classes so i didn't see him
only saw him once today for like 5 seconds... then i RAN

[silver-rain]

Ahh well he was the one that ignored me. So I just ignored him back. I just concentrated on other things, like track and my schoolwork.
Then I met someone new who made me forget about my ex.

it hurts like a b.tch, and then you keep hurting, and then one day you just start thinking ... "wait, why was i hurting again? w.e. ... " and its over.

that's what happened to me. talking to him again made me get over him actually. its gone. :D

[ANG33ZY]

I just stopped seeing him .. stopped talking to him ..
and he did the same..

It helped me move on .. cause i thought i wouldn't be able to live without him..

[oXMuhNirvanaXo]

I hate that feeling that he is the only thing on your mind.. its hard.. :-( I broke up with my bf for 7 days then like a cry baby I went back to him.. Im kinda glad i did coz i still had fellings for him..

I know this is not helping you much now this is what can help..

Music, friends, lots and lots of ice cream, food, food, more food, family, computer, and.. food maybe a diary or a peace of paper saying all the things that you loved and hated that happned in the relashion ship.

That's how it was today...hm...maybe I should start being friends w/ him again, because we were friends before anything happened. I'll give him a ring later I guess--but I'm pretty sure that I don't want anything to do w/ him that deals w/ being together. I'm sorta having a fun time being single...

Augh...there's no junk food in my house so it SUCKS!

[chasingvictory]

argh! I have the same problem too! It's getting better though. But man it was so hard. Like when my gf and I were together, we pratically did everything [together] that I loved to do. For example, soccer-- she would come to my soccer games, guitar-- she would sing along, etc etc. It is/was hard for me to stop thinking about her when I tried to keep myself occupied. She was like my best friend before we got together, so it's even harder. But ya know time heals. It wasn't like the girl broke my heart or anything... we're just waiting for the right time---waiting for each other. So to keep myself occupied I tend to stay outside or go out or w/e. I try not to be idle because I think about her constantly. I mean constantly. I really miss her. But yea know I'll just have to let time heals and be optimistic.

I would try to talk to him or like make it seem like I don`t even wanna be near him..

[xbby_charmz]

Its such a horrible feeling to let go of some1 and many people can prob relate but yah just got to give it time and i like the idea of taking up hobbbies, getting your mind off things can do you well =D also try be distant for a while i knoe it sounds stupid but having distance in time you'll move on better

[xCrys]

Well, its gonna be hard... I'm friends with my ex's though, maybe you should try being friends? I know it'll be hard... Why'd you guys break up in the first place? (if you don't mind me asking) Seems hes still interested in you... Just try the friendship thing. If you can't be friends, explain that to him...

&& Junk food rawx, we don't have any either =(

At first, i really thought we were meant to be.. Although he's not all that sweet and caring towards me, but i loved him very much. I msg-ed him everyday without fail, called him a few times in a week just to make sure he's fine. But little did i know, it was all pointless. Earlier before that, my friends, on the other hand kept telling me it's not worth it. He left me without saying a word and he just totally ignored me one day.

Well, it was actually pretty hard to move on.. But i have no choice. So i told myself that, if he's not the right one for me, why should i stay in the past when i can move on, continue searching the love of my life? Also, i remind myself that i still have my darling friends.. Later then, i realised being single is not that bad. Yes, i may not have dates, receive sweet messages, someone to cuddle with.. but i have way many things to do with myself AND my friends n family. Anyway, it took me about 3 months to completely get him out of my mind. All that don't matter anymore.. i'm happy now.. I have someone new that treats me way better than him..
