Okay .. so my boyfriend of 8 months broke up with my recently and told me that we would see how things were after a little while and see how things were going. Its been like two months and I can still not get over him .. no matter what I do. Everyone thinks i'm over him and he even has another girlfriend already. I don't want to get back with him or anything..
I just need help to get over him.

Think about things to do that YOU like doing for fun (watercolor, bike, whatever).........make some new friends and don't worry about having a boyfriend right now. Time will help, 2 months is not a long time at all, don't be too hard on yourself if it takes longer than you think, it will happen.
With love from a mom

The remedy for getting over a guy is time, patience and activities. Being with someone for 8 months is a long time, especially if you had feelings for one another. So it's not always going to be easy moving on, but that is what you need to do. Move on with your life. Engage in other activities, hang with friends, make new friends, entertain new hobbies. Remember, in time, all wounds will eventually heal.

You just need more time. It takes some longer than others to get over break-ups. About my only suggestion would be if you haven't done so already start going out either on dates or just with friends and make sure to meet new people and have fun anything that keeps your mind from thinking about him. But don't worry you will eventually be over him. GL

Getting involved in volunteer activities is my best suggestion to get your mind off this person. I especially like to volunteer at retirement communities in their activities departments. My favorite is working with the residents in ceramics. Not only is it rewarding to see the work they do, but one can usually do projects right along with them, for free! Whatever you do, I'd suggest that you not step right into another relationship until you've got your mind off this person and know a little more about who you are and what you want regarding a future boyfriend. You're worth more than to stay stuck on wanting a person in your life who obviously needs to move on for some reason. (former divorce counselor's advice.)

sorry about that. My advise is go out with your good friends and family members, do fun things and have LOTS of fun, try your utmost best to forget about what happened, and most of all try not to be alone although sometimes you may want to. If you are alone it will hurt a lot more. If that happens to me I think I know how it might feel(very very hurtful) so go out, have fun, forget about it. Right now u deserve to be loved and if he did this to u wrongfully he's gonna pay for it, I'm sure. Good luck. A caring unknown friend!

You will get over him if you want to! My dear you have this fixed thought in your mind that you can't get over him, and you should not think it this way.
Go out, enjoy yourself and whenever the thought of him crosses your mind do smth to take it out of your mind.
There are plenty more fish in the sea. You will find a better guy who deserves you!
Force yourself not to think about him, and hang out with friends. This way you will meet new people and find a new love.
I know you'll find a very good guy very soon, so keep your mind on this and forget about him!
Best of luck!

Start dating again. Get out meet people you would see that there is someone out there much beter than him. If only you just opened your eyes. He has obviously moved on. He must have thought the grass was greener on the other side. Now its time for you to see the grass your missing out on. Dont allow him to put your life on stand still. Your too good for that. let him see you happy and smiling.

Read some ethical books and improve your home spend your time in doing some responsible things like taking care of some elder person or a baby, i am sure you will get out of this condition.

Get away from boys... ANY boys
Hang w/ ur girlfriends often
Play sports
Bury yourself in a hobby
Avoid this guy like the plague (politely, of course)
Focus on another boy, maybe?
Focus on schoolwork
Make lots of new friends
Talk to people about your troubles (the computer is nice, but can't compare to family or friends)
Vent in a journal
GIVE YOURSELF TIME; these things take a while to get over, but you will get over it. (Trust me, I know!)
Patience!
