Vanjerkle13 answered Thursday December 19 2013, 10:00 pm: It can work, depending on the relationship you had before and while you were dating. If you were close or semi-close friends before, this is not the path to take. If you were friends before, you should still be friends after because a relationship should NEVER ruin a friendship. If you had a flirtatious relationship before you started dating, this method would be okay to use if you REALLY wanna avoid and ignore him. Overall, this method works depending on the relationship you had with him. If you want to erase him from your life use this method. Don't completely block him out if you feel you wanna continue a friendship with him. But to answer your question, yes this method works, depending on what kind of relationship you want to continue with him. [ Vanjerkle13's advice column | Ask Vanjerkle13 A Question ]

Well for either one, it really depends on the person.
If you meant if the no contact method helps in getting over him, then it really depends on you. Obviously if you keep talking to him and keep in contact with him, you won't get over him as fast as you would if you weren't talking to him. That's just common sense. Of course, you'd have to put in the rest of the effort of trying to move on by keeping yourself busy and meeting other people.
If you meant if the no contact method works to get him back, then that depends on the guy. If he's the type of guy who wants what he can't have, then it will work better with him. If he's not, then that's a 50/50 chance. [ lightoftruth's advice column | Ask lightoftruth A Question ]

only way is to start moving on with other people even if you dont like them you dont need to stay with them but just try stuff out and you slowly discover good qualities in other people that the original person lacked and see more and more why they are not for you.
also a lot of the attachment is just from liking the drama and history and wanting something to think and talk about so starting to move on will help with all of that.
after a while you can see the guy and not even have feelings left for him. [ lolalufonda222's advice column | Ask lolalufonda222 A Question ]

Well it worked for me in terms of him contacted me again. But it takes a lot of patience. Absence makes the heart grow fonder and all of that.So because of this I'd advise you really wanted him back before using this method.
I'd say its a lot more effective than bombarding him with texts etc, as this will drive him further away.
Okay this is how powerful it is-my ex got with another girl after me, and a few months after made contact with me again and broke up with the girl, so yeh its pretty powerful.
Its also good because through having no contact, it gives you time to think over the relationship and whether it is worth saving or not.
Its reverse psychology, and used correctly its very powerful!
