How to Get Over Your Ex Boyfriend
It's rarely an easy thing to do, in fact, it's quite the opposite.
It doesn't even have to be somebody that you were "with" a long time, but just somebody you've been so in love with for longer than you can remember.
Actually, psychologists say that love is like a drug.
It feels so good and gives us a natural high, and when we lose it, we don't know how to cope.
They have rehab for drug users, they even have stop-smoking programs for smokers who want to quit.
But when the person you love leaves you, just like that, there is no rehab for you.
Your family and friends may be supportive, but will mostly just tell you to move on.
"Forget it and enjoy being single", they'll say.
If only it were that easy.
If you dwell on losing your love, people think you're "obsessed," just like teen blogger Tempest puts it.
And this fact is so true! We've all had friends who try to make us feel better, and maybe even guy friends who try and help us "forget.
" But you can't help wonder what they're doing, and if even part of them still loves you...
or if they ever did.
Real life writer / blogger Janet agrees that "ignorance is bliss," and we couldn't agree more.
Maybe you will end up back together again, and maybe you won't.
Either way, you want your relationship to end on a high note, with happy memories.
You do not want to feel worse than you already do.
Something I've learned, is that staying innocent (and by that I mean thinking most people have morals like you do) is better than knowing the whole truth.
Seriously.
The most important thing you need to remember is this.
You have probably heard the old saying, "Distance makes the heart grow fonder," which means that when people are far apart, they fall more in love.
This is actually not true at all! It's as far from the truth as possible.
Psychologists agree that people generally fall in love with people that are closest to us, and that we see or talk to more often.
So, if you can distance yourself from this person you are forced to fall out of love with, the best thing to do is to keep as busy as possible, even though it's not easy.
And, you'll probably think about them constantly, wishing they were there with you...
or wondering what they're doing at that exact moment in time.
You'll wonder what your lives will end up like if you stay apart, and what it could've been like.
Some people have a hard time just becoming single again.
Some girls haven't been single for as long as they can remember.
They may have had boyfriend after boyfriend with really no breaks in between.
Now, suddenly, there's no implied Friday and Saturday date nights, hanging out on Sundays, someone to text constantly, or someone to hear "I love you" from when you're down.
Finding a replacement for everything you're missing should help you with getting over ex the fastest.
Make sure there's always a Friday and Saturday night plan in place, or whatever days you and your ex used to hang out together.
Better yet, have a plan for every night! Go out instead of watching sappy love movies and wishing he was there.
If you don't have many friends because he took up most of your time, fight your fears and make some! Fight every urge to call, text, IM, or email them.
If they try to get a hold of you, wait a day before getting back to them.
Let them squirm a little bit.
Keeping your mind and body busy is the best thing you can do.
By the way, do things that are actually fun to you.
Don't just hit the gym because it's something to do.
That will just make you think you're getting your body all gorgeous for him and you can't wait to show off your arms / abs to him.
Doing things that are new, exciting, and things you have never done before may just be the best remedy for getting over ex.
You will probably wish he was there to enjoy things with you, but he could've been.
He isn't, and it's totally his loss.
Keep on being the best you that you can be and have fun.
Constantly.
