I've been where you are countless times and, unfortuantely it's not fun. My advice to you is to maybe stay away from the friends who hang out with him for a while. And if you do continue to hang out maybe do it with him not being around. And let them know that you don't want to hear anything about him. Because friends and family can tend to sometimes be oblivious to our feelings. Without knowing how much it will hurt you they may bring up him dating another girl. Or the last thing you will want to see is him bringing around another girl... That will cut you like a knife... Look at it this way when you break up with someone you have to symbolily think of them as a death. Because we all know when someone dies there gone for good no matter how he cry and ask God to bring them back. So sometimes you have to look at it that way. Give yourself a week to mourn that person. Put the relationship in a casket... And bury it... And move on with your life from there... Yes it may take time to get over that person it all depends on how love you were with the person. But hanging around all the time with an ex is only going to freeze feelings. My advice to you is to try at best you can to stay away for a while... Focus on yourself the things you love to do... Make your days fun like hanging out with friends, family, going to the mall movies, any sports anything you like to do do it ten times over... Don't sit around all day crying lying in the bed and thinking what if... It doesn't work and nine times out of ten he's not thinking of you as much... Some men move on really quick. And if you continue to hang around him to your disapointment you'll see how fast... The best of luck to you...

Unfortunately, there's no way to stop your brain from actively thinking about him. There's no magical pill to take in "getting over" anyone, sadly, but there are steps to take to ease the process.

There's a saying among women, and as funny as it might seem, it's too true: "retail therapy". Try hanging out with a few select friends and enjoy their company and pampering yourself. I realize that it's hard having an ex who shares the same social circle, but that's why you pick activities he more than likely won't come along on.

Meanwhile you'll be able to get out and socialize, interact with other people, and as time goes on, the heartbreak will ease.
