Literally make a list and compare the negatives to the positives. Imagine the future and think about how things could possibly have improved, and you will likely realize that things are better off the way they are. Give yourself some time to breath before you try dating again. Do activities that make you feel good about yourself. Treat yourself right by not abusing substances, eating properly, and exercising. Think about all the good things about being single. Once you're feeling better, go on a date where you can pretty much gaurantee the person will dig you - if for nothing else but to feel flattered and have a nice time. You may never forget them, but with time you can definately move on. Don't let any of their petty antics bug you - they may rub a new significant other in your face and try to make you jealous. If you can't remain friends, then just go your separate ways. Don't engage in arguments, DON'T hook up post-break up, and don't let them into your new love life once you have one unless you both have truly moved on and can be friends.

Congratulations if anyone knows how to forget an ex. I can't. There were a whole lot of things I DIDN'T like about him that I strangely forget when I start feeling all melancholy. So when I get mopey about Ex-Boy, I just have to remind myself of those things. Good luck.
Oh yeah, and "eat" is a good answer too.

I don't think one can ever "forget" an ex. If one has moved on without the other, trying to heal that pain is sometimes near impossible.
This is what I did:
+Deleted his phone number from my cell.
+removed his email from my mailing list.
+Wrote my feelings in a journal.
+Talked to friends, and sought counseling
+decided against name calling.
+stayed away from "the old familiar places", and found new ones :)
It took me several months, to tell the truth. I know that I am better off, and that his new wife is now the one who is stuck with all the stuff he gave to me.

Get a new one, and remember what you left your ex for, because sometimes you think of all the things you miss about them, and then you tend to forget the real reason they are your ex.

Get busy. I read "It's Called a Breakup Because It's Broken" by Greg and Amiira Beherendt, but it's geared for a girl getting over a guy. It had some great advice though.

Get a new puppy or kitten. It will take your mind of them and they are much more loyal than an X will ever be.

TIME, you may never truly forget, but the "pain" will lessen.

if you really really really really loved her, then you are in big trouble, as you heart really does NOT heal itself over time as most people say.
But is she was just a fling or a really long term relationship then try to entertain yourself and date other people to get over her.
good luck
