How to get over your ex girlfriend?
Find out for sure
Get closure by making sure that you have no chance with her. If you have had a fight then maybe she still likes you but you both said some things that you didn’t mean. If you find that there is no chance of getting back together then you can use the rest of these tips to move on and truly get over your ex girlfriend.
Don’t contact her
Once you know that things are over stop contacting her. You want nothing to do with her because all this will do is end in disaster. Whether it’s ringing her whilst drunk and begging her to come back, writing a letter or email for forgiveness, speaking to her in person and trying to work things out. Once you have closure then it’s best to bite the bullet and cut her out of your life.
Get your feelings out
You need to let go emotionally. It’s horrible I know, but it needs to be done. If this involves crying then cry. Don’t feel ashamed of your emotions. It doesn’t make you any less of a man to get emotional after a break up. Don’t see it as a weakness but a way of life. Dealing with a break up is hard on anyone so don’t feel you have to be macho man about the whole thing.
Remember that running from your emotions can make you carry the sad feelings over an over. Plus they keep building and building and one day they all come flooding out and you have a complete meltdown. Just so you know I go to the gym, watch UFC, play football, etc and I still cry in certain situations and yet feel no less of a man. Wearing women’s clothes on the other hand well that’s a different situation altogether :-).
Avoid her
Personally I prefer the, “I don’t give a fuck” attitude. As in – go where you like and if you see her then who gives a shit? However most guys will go places and ‘hope’ to bump into their ex girlfriend so they got a chance to sort things out. Avoid falling into this trap. It will only bring back emotions and mess with you head.
Throw/Destroy Any reminders
If you have items that remind you of your ex then get rid of them. A big part of learning how to get over an ex girlfriend and getting over a break up is learning how to let go. You need to get rid of the stuff that reminds you of her. Once you have done this then you are in a position where you can totally get her off your mind.
Realise it was not meant to be
Once you realise that she was not the right girl for you, you have a much better chance of moving on and trying to find someone else. If it helps, you can think of all the bad things about her. Once you stop focusing on the good things, you will realise that she most likely had a number of faults and that she wasn’t that special.
Get a hold of your feelings
You are in complete control of how you feel. She should have no control over it whatsoever. This is definitely easier said than done but allowing her to control the way you feel is a downward spiral. Instead realise it was meant to be, that you are this awesome guy who can find another girlfriend and make a new start.
Start living your life again
This is one of the best ways to get over a break up. Get out and start doing things. Go on a road trip or holiday. Maybe take up new hobbies like a sport or instrument like guitar. Get down the gym and get into shape. Go out with your friends. Go do something cool like a bungee jump. The possibilities are endless. All these things will make you feel good and make you realise that life is still totally awesome even without what’s-her-face.
Get out and meet new women
This is the big one. It’s time to go out and meet new women. Don’t be afraid to get back in the game. This may take a few days, weeks or months depending on who you are as a person. Don’t leave it too long because life is too short to wait around twiddling your thumbs.
Word of Warning
Don’t try and get back at your ex by sleeping with someone or doing something you know will hurt her. If you do this you are letting her control your actions and also being manipulative. You need to realise things have ended, let your emotions go, forget about her and move on. What she does shouldn’t effect you and what you do shouldn’t effect her.
