He's talking to other girls and moving on with his life,he will text me sometimes and act as a friend and will just catch up on life. I'm pretty sure he's over me but I'm not over him.. I don't understand why I can't just move on I've tried likeing other guys but I just cant,when I hangout with my girls he's always in the back of my mind. I need to know how to get over him and move on with life. I'm a 17yr old female. Texas

You think that one day they'll come to the conclusion that they made a mistake and that they'll come back for you, but when it doesn't happen, it just makes you hurt more. The best thing that helped me was to know that it isn't the end of the world, and you have a lot more then just a highschool relationship. Focus on your schoolwork, friends, family, etc. And when you're feeling lonely, you always have your girls to back you up. If you find a gift that he got you or a picture of you two together, put it in a box and place it under your bed. Some girls find it nessecery to burn all of their ex's things, but really it just makes it worse. And when you hear a song that reminds you of him, change it, and when he text's you to see how you are doing, really tell him how you are doing. Don't be affraid to tell him him that you still have slight feelings for him, cause you never know how he will react. Hope this helps!:) [ mbcheer's advice column | Ask mbcheer A Question ]

It's important to know that it could take a long time. My advice to you is to avoid talking to him for awhile. Don't be mean or anything, but stop having conversations. It'll only make you think about the relationship more and probably depress you. It takes a lot of control to do it because talking to him is so natural and may make you feel good for a few minutes, but it will really help to cut these conversations out of your life. You shouldn't be asking him how he's doing and finding out about how he's moved on and how he's happy with someone else. In all likelihood he hasn't gotten over you yet either and he's with someone else to avoid feeling some of the pain that comes with a breakup. Just take things slow and soon enough you'll be okay. Give yourself time to heal - you were with him for a whole year, that's a lot to let go of. It may be helpful to go out on a casual date with someone else, it may not. Do what you think would be good for you and you'll be over him before you know it. Good luck! [ sizzlinmandolin's advice column | Ask sizzlinmandolin A Question ]
