Question Posted Wednesday September 6 2006, 10:18 pm
I have been single for almost a year now after a three month relationship with the best guy ever (We'll call him Anthony)! Lots of guys have asked me out since then, but only one got me to go out with him (we'll call him Andrew). I always tell them to give me their phone number and then I will call them. I really have no intentions to call. Ususally I toss out the number. When I went out with the one guy (Andrew) a few times, all I could think about is my ex (Anthony), and how not like him the new guy is. I know it is over with my ex (Andrew). How can I get over him?

Something good that I've heard works really well is just to focus on yourself and make yourself happy. Take yourself for a makeover or buy yourself a really cute outfit. Think; you, you, and more you. The more time you focus on making yourself happy, the less time you have to worry about finding someone to be happy with. Like they always say, you can't take care of someone and be in a relationship until you've taken care of yourself. And don't lose hope, because you will get over Anthony* and you will find someone that will make you just as, if not more happy. Just give it time, give someone a chance, only when you know you're absolutely ready to move on. Good luck, keep me posted. -Angel [ Anq3L_xO's advice column | Ask Anq3L_xO A Question ]

If you broke up with him, then you could get back with him possibly. If he broke up with you then do you know why and has that changed? Third possibility...distance? Anyway, if there is no possibility of getting back together, then you are wasting your time pining away for what you thought you had. It was temporary and things change. You don't have to be in a hurry to replace him or find one as great, just go have fun! [ BitsandPieces's advice column | Ask BitsandPieces A Question ]

I'm in somewhat of the same position, I love my ex, we dated for quite a while but I have a new boyfriend of 3 monthes everything I could possibly give him. I thought about my ex constantly the first month or so of going out with my now boyfriend. I judged and compared them, it turns out my ex was the worst guy out there for me, he was a player and never responsible but my now boyfriend is caring and loves me to death and does everything for me, makes me feel lazy lol, but anyways.. It will be hard to get over him, but I'm sure you can. If he was your first love it will be extremely hard. You should consider talking to "Anthony" about your feelings and maybe dating again will be in the cards. [ adviceforlife's advice column | Ask adviceforlife A Question ]
