Whats the best way to forget someone?

Question

He was a very good friend, could have been more, then there were major misunderstandings, and we fell out. Im sure he has moved on but I still think about him alot. can anyone who has been through a similar experience advise?

thanks for the wonderful answers you all are giving.

Answer 1

There is a little word called IF. if only there wasn't misunderstandings, if on ly this wasn't said or that hadn't happened. if is a little word with a big meaning. Remember the friendship you had and the way you laughed together remember the good times and store them in your memory with all the other good memories you have of your family and Friends. Life is never easy but we have to get on with it the best way we can. Try to keep as bust as possible. That helps try not to think about it. And remember one thing you never know what is round the next corner (or who is). Be patient things will work out.

Answer 2

That is really tough, I know. I have lost a friend like this.

You could give it one last try. Either phone and ask to meet, or send him a card/email. Keep it short, and say you are sorry for your part in the misunderstanding and hope you won't lose his friendship.

If he doesn't hear that, then you have to move on, and learn from the experience.

Sometimes when people get this offended, they are quite wounded people, and they would rather lose a friendship than look at their part in it. Maybe he is llike this.

There is only so much you can do to keep a friendship.

Sorry to hear about it and wishing you good luck.

Rent lots of movies you have always wanted to see, buy some new magazines (read them quick before the next issue comes out!), read a good book, write, listen and sing/dance/belt out the tunes to a new CD you have borrowed, go to restaurants with your family, flirt, call up/visit old great mates/friends, go for bike rides, go solo shopping (and for as long as you want and wherever and whenever and however!), explore your neighbourhood, have time to study-don't waste your year and your life!, play some good simple mind-grabbing games, read some jokes, etc, etc!...

Hopefully when you have cried out and start that true fun, he'll still be gone! LoL!
(....and won't start your confusion all over again!)
(And you aren't worried about what HE is doing-and at least he knows what you are doing aswell-if you are still together, that is...or not!)

For any comfort, or my experiences/what I've gone through/stories, have a look at/through my questions and answers!

Answer 4

Don't forget him.

It's never too late to say sorry (even when your not at fault).

Sorry is a good ice-breaker.

My best friend of 20+ years & I fell out over a missing text message. We fortunately made it up the same day, by sending one another really silly text messages.

Life is too short & really good friends are too few & far between, so rather than trying to forget him, think of a way you can rekindle your relationship.

If you would rather meet for a chat, make sure it's somewhere neutral.

GOOD LUCK

Answer 5

The best way to forget someone is to try and find someone knew and experience new things with that person, im not saying it has to be a relationship, just friendship and nothing sexual has to come of it. Live your life to the fullest. The way i look at it and it tough is, for every year you were with this person it take a month to get over. Dont worry hun, youll end up happy :)

Answer 6

forgetting someone who was so close to u is practically impossible...however u can reduce thinking abt him by finding somebody else who can be close and very friendly to u...when u have good moments with the new guy..u'll think of the old guy that he's no more problem coz u found a better one...gradualy he'll say good bye from ur soul and mind...when u make a new friendship...make sure u dont make a situation happen that occured between u and the old friend...

Answer 7

I'd lay it all on the line and have a heart to heart with him, telling him nothing but the complete truth about your feelings. If that doesn't repair things, then it just wasn't meant to be and you'll find someone better in the end. I spent about 4 years thinking I had let go of the love of my life, then I met my wife, who is a God send.

Answer 8

even if you do keep busy to keep the mind occupied, you may in the future begin wondering what if again.nothing prevents you from contacting him, if he has moved on he will be able to tell you, which should help you to get over himquicker. alternatively he may have nbeen spending time doing the same, but is too afraid to contact you ,since you had the major fallout. if he indicates that he has moved on, then say your say and accept it. men don't seem to like a women who is too persistant after they have indicated no interest, they find it scary.

good luck.

Answer 9

i am in the same situation!! my best m8 is a guy, we fell out a lil while ago... so we let it rest for a while, then decided to get together and discuss why we fell out... ask him if he ever valued your friendship.. and if he did then he should listen to what you have to say.... if you dont wanna forget about him - DONT! but if you do... just move on... maybe blank him for a while, then slowly warm up and maybe one day you will start all over again

PS sorry if none of that made sense!

Answer 10

Thats hard. Maybe he feels the same but then again maybe not, You should try to move on,there is no way of forgetting someone ,you just have to get on with it and one day you'll find yourself thinking about him less and less. Trust me it happens like that. Good luck and take care !!!!
