How Do You Get Over An Ex? by baybbootz(f): 1:44am On Sep 10, 2009
How does a person get over an ex and move on, even after loosing contact for 2 years.
Re: How Do You Get Over An Ex? by lucia3(f): 1:57am On Sep 10, 2009
I have a way that I learned to get over an ex and it really did help me. Here's what you do: you picture your ex on a movie screen, not moving. Stare at it in your mind, then you see a small square picture coming out from the middle of the screen. The smaller pic is of you. The smaller picture gets larger and larger until it covers your ex completely. Do this over and over. This actually trains the brain to stop thinking of that person and it may help you put yourself first in the next relationship. Good luck. I know it can be difficult, I've been there!!

The best way to get over an ex is go into another relationship.

As long as you remain single, you would never get over him/her. The best solution is to learn from whatever mistake that led to your breakup, then look for someone else and begin afresh.

2yrs is long enough to forget someone. . . Those i dated know i forget them instantly, they only emerge when i see a photo or something is said that reminds me of them, as long as u've said bye bye, its gone in less than 60secs. I think people find it difficult to move on when they overindulge emotionally.

If u look at it from the angle that it was just a relationship, or occasional fling. . . and not a marriage, then its quite easy. Just rebrand and meet more new peeps and you'll be fine aiight? grin

I think if you really love someone you never really get over them. Thats why I usually give the relationship a six month period of time to fix back up if someone ends it and I really love the person. As that way you make sure you have no regrets, if you really love someone you are not in a hurry to move on anyway. I would normally give it a few months if it was someone I really cared for and wanted to be with. If you move onto someone else they will never measure up to that person you really loved so there is no point really cause your heart won't be in it.

Its good to have closure too make sure you both really want to break up. If you didn't speak for two years are there still loose ends. Do you still love each other? I wouldnt let the person use you though as if they didnt make an effort to stay in touch or fix things two years ago they may not really love you anyway. Some times you never get over someone and every time you see them or you see reminders it hurts and you feel pain. Its like the day it ended a small part of your heart died. Thats when you really fell in love and there is no cure to that but with time it gets a little bit less painful and a little bit easier,

Delete her numba, throw away or burn anything that will bring back her memories, dont pick her calls, stop talking to her friends, start flirting, pray to forget her and pray for her to forget you too. . .

this works

That's true!
Re: How Do You Get Over An Ex? by madlady(f): 7:15pm On Sep 10, 2009
winkMy 2 cents worth.

If it was not a nasty break-up, allow yourself 1/2 hour every day for a week to think about them, 1/4 the next week and by the third week you will forget to give them the allotted 5 mins, that should do the trick.

Only nice thoughts (nothing sexy, that will make it worse)
Re: How Do You Get Over An Ex? by whiteroses(f): 7:39pm On Sep 10, 2009
for me best way to get over a guy is to get under another guy its the best you automatically just stop thinking about an ex
Re: How Do You Get Over An Ex? by ebila(m): 8:19pm On Sep 10, 2009
@poster,
Wanna get over an ex huh?Just follow this steps:
1. Delete her number from ur fone(so u don't get tempted to call).

2. Try as much as possible not to be alone(cos all u'll think of is her).

3. Stop going to places that reminds u of her or doing things that u people to used to do(cos that's only going to remind her).

4. Get a hotter babe(this will take ur mind away from her).

But really in all this,if u really love her so much,you'll still not get over her.
Re: How Do You Get Over An Ex? by Nobody: 8:29pm On Sep 10, 2009
I know my post doesn't make sense but i recommend this film for you.Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind.Okay let me narrate long story.Jim carey wakes up in the morning thinks his neighbour bashes his car and curses at him.At the train station he notices a particular lady looking at him.For no reason he enters the station and the same girl kate winslet is in the train she chats him up.Then they go out on a date lying on the floor she wishes they could do it all day.He drops at her house and encounters Elijah wood who questions jim's presence.Scene cuts now the next scene shows jim carey complaining to a friend about kate winslet wait a minute that doesn't make sense they just met.He complains that he got her a gift and she barely recognized him.The friend seeing jim in pain couldn't withstand it tells jim that kate winslet had an operation to delete him from her memories.Now the best part is jim carey can't stand the pain of losing his love opts for the same procedure.Then the film shows the relationship btwn them and how it went sour.Remember his bashed car he bashed it while chasing her to apologize.Now the strange part is elijah wood is part of the pple that erases memories and eventually lured kate winslet into going out with her by using jim's belongings.Cuz the procedure entails bringing things that reminds u of ur partner.Now during the procedure he's in coma instances of kate winslet start to disappear jim decides he no longer wants to go on with the procedure but it's too late.Now after the procedure the scene moves to first scene i described eventually after coming back from the date.Both assumed that they don't know each other but feel a strong connection till a girl sends tapes to each of them explaining that they were formerly lovers.At first jim thinks kate's messing with him when she plays the tape she met in her mail and hears her complaining about jim and her relationship out of anger he tells her to leave his car.Next scene shows kate showing at jim's house on getting there she meets jim listening to his own tape about her.They both feel bad about the event.Guess what they re-fall in love all over again.Sorry for this long story just wanted to share that sometimes memories of ex are part of things one should learn to appreciate.how would you feel if he didn't remember you at all.the fact you are no longer together doesn't mean you're enemies.

This is only true if you sell yourself short and start having the wrong mindset that you will never find a better person.


I say don't compromise on what you want and need in a relationship, and aim high and reach for the stars and once you find the right person, you would start wondering and be annoyed at what it was, you saw in your ex.


@ post

One way to get over an ex is to delete their number from your phone/brain to avert one of those oops moment that happens during those lonely nights when you can't sleep and have been crying your eyes out and then send a cringeworthy text asking what it was you did wrong or grovelling for a second chance embarassed

Thanks!  Thats deep am going to watch that movie.  Yeah I guess its possible falling in love with your ex again if you still love them.  Thats why sometimes you leave the door open , so the bird can fly back in  ,

Yeah it's a lovely and touching movie.Whats makes it cool is that the couples have real serious issues like jim never respects her and says things to get on her nerve after the procedure you can tell he has a no memory on his formal character and his new character is now kinda quiet and nice.Think of it if we had amnesia like 10 times our behaviour modification will differ from each one.Isn't that weird i mean i love pc,format my memory and my taste change i might love weed.Check out this line from the Mexican.
Julia roberts:when two couples are in love at what point does it get when enough is enough.
Brad pitt:Never,it never does.
Re: How Do You Get Over An Ex? by Yumi(f): 8:55pm On Sep 10, 2009
True but its better to stay together and try to make each other happy than to keep breaking up and thinking you might lose each other right. If you really got that special connection and love each other to that level. Cause you know you are going to end up together, so fighting it is like fighting yourself its better to find a way to live with each other, try to make each other happy and not hurt each other, so its better you just treat each other well, give each other what the other needs and wants (will be reasonable cause you both love each other) and make the most of it more logical. smiley
