Theres guy Ive liekd for a year and something nowww. And he use to like me when we were both in middle school but now hes in highschool and hes changed so much and hes being an asshole to me all of a suddden. But when we liked eachother, we hooked up and we did a little more then making out but not sex or anything. But that was the first time ive ever done somehthing like that with anyone. But then he stopped talking to me and hes a jerk now but I can NOT seem to get over him no matter whattt. Im always the one to talk to him first and it ends up in a fight usually or something. I called him once and he actually called me again after that and we talked a lot but one day he called and I didnt call backk and the next day I told him to call me n al he said was ughhhhhh. And ever since then weve never really talked even though Ive tried. How do I get over him or move on or anythinggg?

(1) Get blind drunk
(2) Cut off all contact with him
(3) Find someone new
The first option is probably not a legal one for you, which is fine, because it doesn't work anyway and you just end up heartbroken AND hungover.
The second one works, but it may not be practical if you go to the same school, of if there's some other reason you just can't get away from each other.
That leaves you with the third option, and though it also has its pitfalls, it does tend to actually work. Don't look for your True Love at this point, though; just find a guy (or guys) that you can have a good time with, and enjoy few laughs, maybe with a group of friends. A couple of casual dates will do wonders for you. If you can't find someone suitable or you're shy, ask a friend to set you up with someone.
Incidentally, whoever you go out with should be told that you're coming off a bad breakup, but he doesn't need to know details. Stuff like that is what your girl friends are for - talk to THEM about it. When you go out on your next date, the goal is to forget about the previous jerk, not to obsess over him.
