How do you get over someone you loved?

you don't get over, you just get on.

You start drinking and become bitter.

Ouch.

What if it was the best relationship you ever had and you can't imagine being with someone else a year later?

Tried that. Still not bitter, just heartbroken.

Date as much as possible. AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.

Give it more time bro you'll be able to move on. Yeah sometimes it takes longer than a year.

There's no easy answer to this. While it seems impossible not to for a while, the worst thing is to dwell on it. You recognize that it's over, that's the first step to healing so good job. Now you have to tough it out and fill your life with other things. For a while it seems like nothing will make you as happy as she could but eventually you'll get excited about other things again and after enough time and experiences you'll realize you think about her less and less. I think that's what people mean by moving on. You may always remember it as a mistake but you won't feel the deep emotional pain each time you think about it like you do right now. Remember that everyone makes mistakes when they're young and there are a bunch of us walking around with life altering regrets from our past. Here's a logical way to think about hope-- what if you'd never met her? Would you have had any chance at a happy life? Of course. So go forth without her and live that happy life.

I'm heartbroken over someone that I loved dearly & had an amazing connection with. I made some stupid, big mistakes that I wish I could undo.

I miss this person terribly on a daily basis.

How do I get over this and move on with my life?

Work it out , talk it over. Say something nice.

Depends how young you are. The younger you are the easier it is to move on. But if you are too old and not rich and with many options, it's like losing contact with the lead group in a race and falling back running on your own.

Mile repeats. Go to the well. When you emerge, you shall be cured of this sickness

Not enough info. What are your pr's and her pr's? Mileage? Pics(of her)?

Get a 16 lb. bowling ball, hold it over your head and drop it on one of your bare feet. You'll forget about him/her real quick. Joking LoL. But you need to do something 180 degrees different to distract you from your thoughts of him/her.

I've been where your at and that's the best advice I can give you. Crying in your beer is never, ever the solution.

Seek therapy. At this point you aren't moving on and need some help getting closure.

There is a right answer and my above post is it. Just don't give a crap any more and the floodgates open.

Accept that you never really do. Anyone telling you otherwise is lying.

What another poster said, you never really do. But the loss can change you or help you grow in a positive way. This happens once time takes the sting out of the situation a little bit and acceptance makes you a stronger, more worldly person. It helps to see the reasons why it may not have worked out and to appreciate the opportunities you gained by not being in that relationship. Also, you may not need to cut the person out of your life if you are already doing so. If the two of you were just friends, maybe fostering that friendship over time will either bring you back together eventually, or, maybe for the better, provide a quality friend relationship that backdrops your future experiences.

Get someone else under you.

Time heals all wounds. Those who say you never get over them, I would argue, are too young to know better. Find someone else even better, which you can't do if you are moping around in the past.

Stop being a royal jackass toward women
