I can't get over my ex.

[soccer]

I have been planning to ask this girl I really like out. Whenever I tell myself today's the day, I back out because I always think of my ex-girlfriend. I thought I was over her, but apparently not. Has this ever happened to anyone? If so, what did you do, and what should I do?

[Mr. Smithers]

I had a person that I used to love, that I think about from time to time. How I got over them, I just realized that we broke up for a reason, things happen for a reason, and we just weren't meant to be together. If you think about this person, realize that we broke up, because it was meant to be like that. Find someone even better.

But if you absolutely can't get this person out of your system, try to see if your relationship can start over again.

"You never realize how good something is unless you've lost it"

We tend to miss things that we have lost, how good they are, what you admire about them. It is only natural. I went through that phase too. My advise to you would be to focus on what you hated about her or what caused the relationship to end and remind yourself constantly what would have happened in this situation if both of you are still together.

This has happened too me. And I was the one that dumped her. :/
but she dislikes me, and there is no chance of "us" ever again.

I moved on.
Your best bet is time. Just wait it out.

It's hard to get over someone, it certainly doesn't happen over night: that's for sure. Even after you think you've moved on, they may pop in your head because you saw something that reminded you of them, you smelt something that reminded you of them, anything. Give it time, and I'm not saying you'll forget all about her... but later, you may not feel as attached about it, it will just be a thought, no connection. Hope I helped a little, it's kinda late =p

This has happened to me. We went out for 2 years then he broke up with me. It took me between 3 and 4 months to get over him. It was horrible. Time is key. You just gotta wait. Maybe having a relationship isn't the best idea. And I agree with what Discotheque said. You have to get it through your head that you broke up for a reason. That was my biggest problem. I just didn't want to believe I really lost him and we were supposed to be together. But not matter what you do it really is time that will get you through it.
