How do you stop caring and thinking about an ex?

Question

I just want to move on and put him out of mind mind. I've already started, but I can't stop thinking about the jerk. Dating car isn't exactly full, but not really all that interested in dating anyway right now. Put an ad or two up, but seem like all guys these days want to do is screw. and I guess I'm getting a little lonely. I'm 28. Any tips?

Answer 1

Speaking from personal experience; You never stop caring or reliving memories (good and bad). The one thing that you have to remember is that you moved on for a reason, so even on those melancholy days when you are missing him fiercely, remember that things will get better, the pain will decrease and there will be days when promise blooms all around you.

While it is true that most guys just want to "screw", we have to believe that there are others that are just aching to prove themselves.

I hope this helps.

The very best of luck to you.

Answer 2

hey girl... i have been in your shoes before and to be honest you never stop caring for someone because once you have been with someone and have open up your heart and mind to that person they will always have a place in your heart> and you know what that is okay because you have learn something from him and your past relationship even if you realize it or not you have learn what you want and don't want in somebody or how to love or just care for someone you can never let a learning experience like that go because that is something that you will take with you your entire life and that is a blessing in it's own!!well i hope these somewhat postive words help anytime you need to talk you write me a person who have been there and knows will probably be there again! ...lol

Answer 3

You're probably not going to stop caring about them. Best thing to do is find someone/something to do worth your time. You fill your life with better stuff, and missing them will seem much smaller.

But that's the risk you take in growing close to somebody. Don't let it paralyze you though... just keep in mind what to look for in someone to be close with.

People out there want love. People out there want sex. People out there these days don't always care about doing both at once. You want comfort? Look for someone you *wouldn't* be tempted to sleep with.
