How I did it: it was hard at first. i think of him as the most perfect person for me. i think about him all the time, thinking about how he would come back to me any day.

truth is, he just won't.

i started seeing other guys, that didn't work.

i started doing things i love, that worked for a while.

i got busy with work, that worked for a while too.



and then someone new came along, treated me right.

i feel better and i just, forgot about him. i know this sounds lame, i know this new guy is probably nothing, but he's treating me good and that makes me feel stronger to move on. so i'm sticking to this.



the thing is, i agree with everyone else here - time heals. until it does, just don't do anything that gets you back to him. just let it be.

Lessons & tips:

• get rid of any communication with him - delete his number, fb, anything
• delete all memories of him - his messages, his pictures, throw away all the gifts
• do all the things in life that you consider fun
• if you have friends who see him frequently, ASK THEM TO NOT UPDATE ANYTHING ABOUT HIM. don't ask them how he's doing - it doesn't matter if he's doing good or bad, the only thing that matters is you FORGETTING him

Resources:

• family
• friends
• other people doing this on 43things :)
