Q: Hey guys!
Thisis kind of a long story but I could really use any advice..
My boo and I broke up around a month and a half ago and I cant shake him from my head. Its not that im sitting at home moping...i just cant stopconsidering if maybe he was the one for me. We just werent working out and the break up was mutual although he talked about dating in the future. He hasn't said reallly anything to me except wish me a happyyy birthday and tell me he loves me.this was like 2 weeks ago but nothing since.I'm so scared that me going and hanging out with other guys is going to ruin my chances of him coming back but my friends insist that I'm doing the right thing and he isnt whats best for me. I wish I believed them but I just keep thinking of him coming back like he previously has. I know it won't work right now but I feel so empty and like I'm going to be alone forever.it's noy that I have a bad personality or looks, guys seem to be interested in me alot..its just I find things I dont like about them and consider waiting for my ex who honestly kindatreated me badly at times. I reallly want to move on and trust that if its meant to be then it will but I cant help thinking that everything worth while ids hard work...although he should put in the work since he wasthe one who began pulling away. Can someone please help me. I know I cant go back but I'm confused if I'm making a mistake letting him go...please help, havent been this messed up in a while..:(
I don't think that you're making any mistake by breaking up with your boyfriend or your "boo" as you call him. You deserve to be with someone who treats you well, and I've been there in the past, and yes I was crying over him just like you were.

Have you dated before you started going out with this guy? You didn't mention if you did or not, which could help me partially with the question. You also didn't say how long you dated. Breaking up with a long term boyfriend, or your first boyfriend can be really hard on most girls.

The way I got over my most painful break up, in which I cried for three months, was that I stopped talking to him and I started going out with another guy. Sometimes rebounding can help you get over someone, sometimes your rebound relationship can end up being the one. I once dated a guy who broke up with his first girlfriend, a girl that he dated from when he was 13 or 14 to 17 years old, and he broke up with her after trying to get back together with her he discovered that she was in a new relationship. His break up was painful for him but he got over it, and realized that it wasn't a good relationship for him to be in. She ended up getting engaged to the guy that she started dating when she was 17, after the two of them broke up.

Eventually you will definitely get over this, and he will be a thing of the past. For now just hang in there, hang out with your friends, hang out with other guys, meet new people and have fun, go back to life and I promise that you will get over the depression that you're in.

Thank you! Added more info.btw im 20
