I'm still in love with my ex. I was devastated when he broke up with me. I miss him and want him back and think about him all the time. Its been 6 months and I've never been hung up on anyone this long. While we've had limited contact in the name of "staying friends" he's never indicated that he wants to reconcile. And if he did, I don't think it would be a good idea because I'm too scared of being hurt by him anymore. How do I move on?

I have gotten back together with many exes, and it has only caused me more pain. Getting over someone you really loved can be hard, and it certainly won't happen by doing nothing, and just hoping that the problem will fix itself. I find that the best way to get over an ex, is to get out there, and just enjoy your life. Perhaps spending more time with your girlfriends (or family) will take your mind off of him. Organizing parties, and going to social events is not only a good opportunity to take your mind off of him, but it's a great opportunity to meet someone new. This is going to sound corny, but try taking a mental vacation. Relieve stress by trying yoga or repeating mantras. ("I am beautiful", etc.) Exercise can also take your mind off of these stressful events, and it increases certain endorphins in your body that make you feel happy. Have fun, take chances, and be open to new people! Don't let one guy change your perception of all guys!
