ive been with my boyfrend on and off 10 months and im done he's done but i'm just not over him and me not being over him shows there's a chance we'll get back together which i do not want is there anyways to get my mind off him to move on please help!
I have found, firsthand, that the best way to get over a guy is to do the following:
Step 1: Have a really good cry.
- When my boyfriend and I broke up, I was super upset (like words cannot describe how bad I felt). But I told myself that I wasn't going to let it flip my entire world upside down. So I let myself have one really good cry, and then I told myself I'm going to start moving on. Which brings me to...
Step 2: Friends = lifesavers.
- Go to the mall and buy yourself something nice (don't over spend, though. Just something small, but nice. Like a new outfit or purse!) Or go see a movie, or out to dinner or something! Don't mope around your house all day doing nothing.
Step 3: Talk about it.
- It feels SO good to let it all out. Sit down with somebody you trust (for me, it was my mom) and just spill your heart out. Again, don't let it ruin your life or impact you too much.
Step 4: Move ON!
- Stop talking to him for a while (you need to give yourself time to get OVER him). Don't stalk his Facebook, spend time with other people, and don't even waste time TALKING about him.
Honestly, it's going to take time, and it's going to be hard, but once you get over him you will feel SO much better. I promise you that this guy is NOT worth wasting all of your time on, and that there are plenty of other fish in the sea. Go out and find a new guy that treats you right and is WORTH your time. Forget about this guy ASAP. You're young and have plenty of time for guys. And, as one of my favorite books puts it: The first boy is always the hardest.

getting over someone is always really hard.
but the trick is time,and keeping yourself busy.
dont allow yourself to think of him,
go out with your girl friends shop etc,and do things you love doing listen to music maybe try a new hobbie or something along those lines.
every time you feel yourself starting to think of him,push him out of your mind call a friend or just do something to distract yourself.
your already after making the first step by realising you don't want to get back which is probably the best if you know that in your heart.
honestly just spend time with friends and family and doing fun stuff its summer now so if the weathers good where you are go to the beach movies stay at friends all that stuff =)
soon youl find yourself thinking of him less and less until you really are over him and can look at him and feel nothing at all like I said though it does take time and you can have some really crap days but just dont allow yourself to stay down or him to keep you down!
anyway I hope I helped :)
good luck
Much <3
