to get over a guy i was with for 9 months. i still think about him when im not busy. i try to stay busy and since our break up i went on one date, which was like hell because he talked about his ex. lol but i need to get over my ex because i know he has already got over me, he told me himself. i dont look at our old pictures, i dont look at his myspace page, i dont call or text him or look at old memories of us. i just want to stop hurting.

Get an image of a new and improved guy in your head. It's good that you've gone on one date (but it sucks that he talked about his ex :p). Now you need to just keep trying. You've been keeping busy and whatnot, but you need to try to just have fun for now. Date around, don't get in anything serious yet. Hang out with new people and have a good time. Now you have no one that's going to get angry with you for talking to guys or just going out and having a good time with friends.
Most people have been through the difficult breakup at one point or another. Sooner or later you're going to think about him and realize that it's the first time you've thought about him in a few days, in a week, in a couple weeks, in a month, etc...
Allow yourself time to get over him and don't think of your memories as a negative thing. Right now it's hard to think about, but eventually it will be a casual thing of the past. When you do find yourself thinking of him, try to write down your feelings. Don't try to push away thoughts of him because they'll just keep coming back, but on the other hand, don't let yourself think of him nonstop. You'll find someone much better and he'll just be a distant memory.

there really isnt anything you can do, but in time, you'll get better.
its the truth, really.
one day you will wake up and just not think about him. [ 666's advice column | Ask 666 A Question ]

Things take time, you will heal eventually. I know it may seem so hard right now, but remember that it will be better. Time heals all wounds.
Try to remember the old days... were they all that great anyways? He talked about his ex frequently and you were jealous. Now, you can move on with your life, you are free. It may hurt now, but once you find that key to happiness, it'll be better.
My advice to you is to find happiness. He wasn't your life, though he might have been a huge part, but he isn't what makes you. You have friends and family that love you. Go out with friends instead of moping or whatever. Find an activity you like and do it.
One day, you'll meet someone who is totally made for you, like you guys were born to be together, and you'll forget all about that guy. But patience is a virtue. You have to learn to walk away from him, away from the hurt and move on with your life. He wasn't everything. [ wicked1472's advice column | Ask wicked1472 A Question ]
