Getting over an ex...how do other people do it?

thats what i want to know too. the best advice i can give you is no contact. complete no contact. delete his number, facebook, msn whatever you have him on. put photos of you guys together in a box somewhere so you dont reminisce during your healing process. dont throw them away though. you might regret. then just start living your life again. imagine how your life was before you met this guy. go back to that and at the same time keep an open mind to other people. you'll meet someone else i guarantee you. give it time.
