Take up a new hobby and try to hang out with your old friends as well as make some new ones. Best thing to do is get involved with something that's important to you to give you that sense of being needed and surround yourself with people that you know who loves and care for you. Avoiding dealing with your emotions isn't a good idea, acknowledge the fact that it hurts, but don't brood over it. If you strive to feel better, you will, and if you strive to feel miserable, you will. Certain things really are mind over matter. The breakup has already done damage to you, it is now your decision to either stop it from doing more damage, or allowing it to continue.

Spend time with the people that care about you. Think about things that you have wanted to do but never have. Do things for yourself. Basically anything that takes your mind off of things. I know it is hard even when a breakup is mutual. Just know that in time it will start to feel better.

Always remember that a "break-up" means that something was "broken". Treasure the good memories, but be realistic about the reasons it failed.
And promise yourself that you will learn from it.
Once you regain that power, you will find it easier to move on.
And on a non-emotional level, go learn something new! Take a course, go paint pottery or do something silly like a belly dancing course or something. Then when you feel down, you can think to yourself "Yeah, I miss the way he'd *fill in the blank* - but at least I can tap dance now!" Trust me...it sounds silly, but even at the worst of times the silliness of it will bring a grin to your face.

the best way to get over a breakup is to move on. go do things you like to do. take time to visit with your friends and do special things for yourself. remember that these things happen to everyone and you just need time. time heals all. cuts don't go away overnight. neither will your emotions. in fact, emotions take longer to heal normally. so just buck up and find and do things that make you happy!

Plan a day where you can get out with all of your girlfriends and go shopping, eat out, go to the salon things like that just talk to all your close friends and in no time you'll forget about this! Also try flirting with other guys you may like!

There is an old saying that says"The best way to get over a lost love is to find another love".

Just try and surround yourself with your friends as much as possible. Keep busy, go out a lot, maybe meet some new people.

Get out and enjoy life... start jogging, take a class, go out with friends. You will forget in no time. Its the best thing to happen to you, so celebrate your life.
