My boyfriend dumped me about 3 months ago. It was a great relationship that almost lasted a year. He was the only guy I've ever loved and we had so much together. The problem is, I can't let go. I still wake up depressed, cry sometimes, and talk about him constantly. Him & I barely talk but are on good terms. I don't understand why I can't move on? It's like I have this undying hope he'll come running back to me! Time is not helping and I just want to be happy again. (18/F)

Whenever you wake up and feel depressed I want you to think of all the reasons why you're glad that he's NOT your bf anymore. This is great way to get over someone. Keep yourself busy too with your friends and start dating again. Also; you are still SO young. 18 years old- you have your whole life ahead of you. I'm ten years older than you and I still havent met anyone yet. I'm sure you're a lovely young woman. Time will heal this as well. Just take it one day at a time. Try to live in the present- don't worry about the past or the future. [ buzzie's advice column | Ask buzzie A Question ]
sammyk answered Sunday December 3 2006, 6:04 pm: I know exactly how you feel. I think you should let all your emotions out. Try to do something you like best.(your hobby or something that will take your mind off of him). Have you ever tried talking to him? I think you should try talking to him unless he tries to ignore you. Sometimes guys will be like that.Its a hard thing to go through. Good luck to you and if this doesn't work out I would try to find someone who cares more about you. [ sammyk's advice column | Ask sammyk A Question ]
neka answered Sunday December 3 2006, 5:09 pm: OMG! this almost like my story so i know exactly how you feel really i do! but u just need to give it time if he loves you still then he'll come back to you. I know its real hard not being with him but right now its not up to how you feel it all about how he feels! U can talk to him and tell him how you feel but dont get to mushy or anything just sit him down and talk with him then just give it time and it will all work out for the better trust me! Its hard but like i said if he loves you to he'll do what best just dont rush it! Their this song called p.s im still not over you by rihanna you should listen to it! it helped me alot!

LittleMooCow answered Sunday December 3 2006, 5:07 pm: I had the same problem.
I didnt want too move on that bad I kept unblocking him on MSN, and constantly forgiving him.
But the truth is, while hes in your life your looking upon unreal hope of you being together.
I dont really know whats best for you but I do know that the more hes in your life the worse you are going to feel.
I dont this you will take this advice but Ill give it anyway ^^
Just tell him its best you stay apart.
I wish I had done that once and for all, its only hurt me more since.
If he means that much you wont want too mess it up for each other will you .
Crying is good.
It help alot the more you cry the more you let out any emtion thats dwelling up inside. Perhaps call some friends over and start talking about hot guys =D
Anyway good luck <3 LittleMooCow [ LittleMooCow's advice column | Ask LittleMooCow A Question ]
