I'm 18 and just started college. Recently, my boyfriend and I had a horrible break-up. He knew that it shook me hard & he's still cocky. I love college and I have many friends. The problem is, he'll be coming to my school next semester. I can't help feeling that it's my territory he's invading. School is somewhere away from him and to get my mind off him. What am I supposed to do when he suddenly shows up? He'll be a constant reminder of heartache and I won't want to go to school anymore!

And OBVIOUSLY he wants you to notice him. Maybe he wants you to want him back. When you see him for the first time, say hello and see how his summer was or how he's been doing and dont make it seem like hes a bother to you. And everytime you see him just crack a smile so he thinks that you arent bothered. But make sure the first day next year you dont look around for him, he might see you doing that and you wont see him.
Good luck and just think, everything happens for a reason. And I'm almost positive that when you first see him you'll feel like passing out, but play it off cool and he'll think he didnt win his little game. but if you dont go to school or transfer, he'll know he won and that you still miss him and he makes you uncomfortable. DONT LET HIM!! [ netsirk07's advice column | Ask netsirk07 A Question ]

Within time, it'll get better, I promise. [ thelaura's advice column | Ask thelaura A Question ]

I think the best thing would be face the pain head on and over time you will move on. I'm sure if you face the pain by the time he shows up at your new school you will have faced the pain and not let it bother you anymore.
