Answer 1

Hey well I know this guy since we were in 6th grade (Now we're in 7th) He was in my same class during 6th grade, and we eventually started developing crushes on each other. But we were both SOOO shy to make a move, so actually we just remained good friends for the whole sixth grade.
But when we got tot 7th grade, story changed. I actually got the nerve to write him a note during class telling him I liked him. So of course, he said he liked me too. But none of us actually did nothing, so time passed, and 3 months later he asked me out. I said yes, but whe broke up (it was mutual) 2 days later. It really hurt me and I cried for like an entire week cuz the pain was still there. It's been almost a month since we broke up, and I'm not "fully" over him. I don't like him as much as I did b4, but I certainly still care about him. And even though I don't like admitting it to my friends, deep down, I still wish we can get back together someday.

Sorry for the whole story, but I hope it helped.

Answer 2

I think it really depends. If you had a deep connection with the person, then it might be the fact that you would never get over the person. I dated a guy once, and I broke up with him to go out with another guy. I liked the 2nd guy soo much and we only dated for a month, but our relationship was soo great at times and other times it was horrible. It's been 4 years, and I still haven't gotten over him. The first guy, I'm over him, never think about him, glad we broke up. Haha. I've moved on, been in a serious relationship for a few years, but I still think about him, reminisce on all the great times we had. It's hard to get over someone, but you will. There are more people out there. Just give it time. Hang out with friends, keep busy.

Answer 3

It is hard to get over someone, It can take months, years. The first few weeks and months are the worst. You will feel so empty sometimes and little things reminds you of him and it hurts. After a while you will feel better and can feel that life indeed goes on and you would to join it again. But there will still be times that you miss him and cry. You will get pass it, it makes us stronger. Dont let it stop you from loving again though.

Answer 4

It depends on the situation. I loved this one guy very much (we dated 3 years), and we broke up because of long distance/going off to college. That was VERY hard to get over, it took about a year or two to really truly get over it even though I started dating again right away. Another guy I dated (2 years) I didn't really love, caused me constant frustration, and he ended up cheating on me after lying to me about his financial situation for a good part of a year. It took me a couple of weeks (if that) to get over that one.

Keeping busy helps, recognize what you learned from the relationship, and then move on. Get in touch with yourself again, do what YOU like, enjoy your time alone. I have found that volunteering really helps shift your focus from feeling sorry for yourself to doing something constructive for others.

Answer 5

it's really hard to get over someone that I really loved and cared about. It's already 2 months and I can't get over my exboyfriend, Sunny! I'm trying so hard to get over him, but I can't! everytime I see or hear his name, I usually cry because that's the guy that I love so much! he's the one that broke my heart to a million pieces, destroy my happiness and love life, and cheated on me with another girl and left me for her. I loved him tooo much that I can't describe it! Now, I'm trying to move on and forget all about him. I'm in a new relationship and it's going fine except that he should be back from vacation today, but he didn't. so I'm worried about him now and I hope that he didn't cheat or lie to me because that's what Sunny did and I don't want to deal with it anymore. I just hope that he won't break up with me because If he did, it will be too horrible and depressing to deal with and also he will break the promise we have for each other. the promise was that we won't leave each other for anybody what so ever.

Answer 6

well i thought maybe i would tell you my story to help you. so for a really long time i liked this guy but i never said anything. i thought he liked me too, but he seemed so nervous around me vice versa, so i never ended up saying a word to him. anyway, it's a long story, but i had a major crush on him for a long time. so after a while i found out he was moving far away and i would never see him again. so after school i got the nerve to go up to him and i said "Wyatt? "i, uh, umm, i, i am going to miss you..." and he said "i am going to miss you, too, Lexi" and he walked a away and i just watched his back get smaller. so then i thought to myself, you know what, i am going to find someone even better. so i looked around and searched for a while, and eventually i spotted someone even better, personality wise and looks. i thought i would never end up meeting him. but guess what? now he's my best friend and probably the funniest and cutest guy i've ever met. since i changed by attitude and decided to find someone else, it worked and now i have someone new. i would have never found my new guy if i didn't change my attitude. i think of this as a positive experience. i hope my story could help you. good luck!

Answer 7

On average, about 1-3 months.

There have been some really long 6-10 month times tho.

Answer 8

it's hard. you take one day at a time. when you feel an emotion, don't hold it in, call one of your best pals, tell them how you feel and you just want to vent. sometimes it helps to talk the pain away. it's ok to hurt (but don't get depressed over a guy...life goes on), before you know it...you will be like "who?" just remain around positive friends...if you have a close relationship with mom, or an aunt, talk to them...you'll be amazed at the things they have went through, you may even laugh... :)

Answer 9

for me it took a looong time. we never went out, but i liked him since last year up until like 2 months ago. last year my friend said he liked me. so knowing that didnt help since im positive he doesnt now. but its just so freaking hard cuz u cant stop thinking about them. u seriously cared about them. but u just kinda have to force yourself to get over them and find a way to deal. there was one nite i listened to the song pain about 20 times in a row. it helped surprisingly. o btw im 14

Answer 10
