Especially if you still love him.

TIME! Try getting involved doing new things. Things you didn't do when you were with him so you make new memories. Consider going out with another guy just for fun. Double with another couple with you, to remind you that there are other guys out there when you're ready for something serious. Get your hair and nail done, by a new outfit and hit the tanning booth a few times so you look your hottest on your just for fun date and suck-up the compliments you get to boost your self esteem. Pamper yourself for the next couple of weeks and remember YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL.

My former girlfriend and I chatted the other night. She told me she was going to try to forget every kind thing that I did and every wonderful memory that we had. That is her way of trying to get over me. I'm taking a different path. I don't want to forget her. I want to remember our good times and try to forget the fights and sadness. I guess I just accept that the thing that pushed us apart is something that cannot be changed no matter how much we want it to. She did her best and so did I. We just failed to make it.
I don't know your situation, but I can tell you that if you are still in love, it will be hard. Try to avoid contacting him. I don't think you can stay friends. Don't look at your pictures or listen to love songs. Try to avoid anything that reminds you of him. Get involved with friends, work, or other activites. Clean your house and do other things that are productive. Get yourself involved in other things. Sometimes it is helpful for me to read some questions and provide some answers to other people's problems. It reminds me that I'm not the only one with issues I'm dealing with.
Do some nice things for yourself. You don't have to blow a ton of cash on a huge shopping spree, but buy some new clohtes and go out with friends. A vacation to a nice relaxing tropical spot can be just what the doctor ordered if you have the time and means to do so.
Finally, it just takes time. The more you love him, the longer it will take. Just remember, it is NORMAL. We all go through it at times.

In my experience, the best way to heal is to pamper myself. There is an old book I found at a garage sale 2 summers ago titled "Looking Good is the Best Revenge" and I think the title says it all. But not just the outside, the inside too...Buddy up with a trusted friend that lets you talk about everything. Write a journal note every day and be sure to date it, as someday you will look back and say "wow, I really am over him".

Day 1 - cry ..
2 - get rid of stuffs that will remind you of him... cry some more.
Make a list of reasons why it didn't work out.
3 - get in touch with your friends. Talk your heart out.
4- get out and shop with your friends. Get a makeover and devote this day to yourself. Remember...it's all about you.
5 - Make a list of things or activities you put off because of him and start doing them.... a step at a time. Getting over a break up is tough but with friends around, you'll pull through. Never look back..... get ready to move on and be happy. It's a decision only you can make.

I listen to sad music and cry. It's actually very healthy to do this. I still go on with my life. It takes time to get over someone. I've been divorced for 8 years and I'm still not completly over my ex-husband. We've both moved on in life, but there will always be a connection there.

Just give it time. Each day will get a little better and pretty soon you won't be so heart broken.

Depending how deep your love is; you never will. My heart was broken many years ago and I still deeply love her. I will never stop loving her and it hurts.

just try to ignore him....
and u will see that he is getting back 2 u...
and if he doesn't.....
then after a period of time automatically u will forget him..
that's why philosophers say " time is the best medicine 4 a wounded heart"

the way I got over my ex is I went to someone I could trust which happens to be my Pastor at my church he made me feel real good and he is always there if I have any problems or questions and think about this if you went to someone like a Doctor he charges you but if you went to your Pastor hes always Free so go see your Pastor and he will put you at ease and make you feel good

Time. Only time.
Of course you still love him, otherwise you would not have a broken heart.
