5. Allow Yourself to Be on Self-pity Mode
Eat your heart out or go on a photo retrospective of your good times together. Cry, scream, go all ‘drama queen-like’. Allowing yourself to wallow in self-pity is the first stage of the getting-over-him stage.
4. Get Rid of All of His Stuff

Frequently asked questions
3. Be like Victoria Beckham
Even if you’re going out for an ice cream – imagine that there’s a million **paparazzi **out o your trail who’ll take photos of what you’re wearing. This will give you that extra **confidence **and bounce on your step.
2. Treat Yourself like a Queen
Go to a really expensive salon and get a hair treatment. Don’t snip off your locks, however. Just give your hair a hair makeover, do your nails, get a massage. Treat yourself like a queen and **stop lounging at home **wearing pajamas all the time!
1. Start Going out Again
The only way that you can really get over a heartache is when you’ve already moved on. Start by going out again. Call your girlfriends and club-hop. **Flirt **with the cutest guy in the bar while looking like your usual **hot **self.
These tips should get you on the **right track **of getting over him and whatever **heartache **the bastard has caused! Lol…

I need to get over this guy, but we never dated. At all, or anything like it. I thought I was over him, but apparently not. He and I have the same circle of friends, have some classes together, and are kinda on our way to be friends again, which is what i want, so i don't wanna ruin it with feelings. How do I get over him, or at least move on. I know that I shouldn't like him. I don't want to like him, and for a while I thought I didn't. I just can't get him out of my head, and truthfully, I'm starting to hate not only him, but myself for liking him so much. Help me please?
Thanks Sheila...Can i continue talking to him because i found a very gud friend in him and he too cared a lot about my sentiments too..
Wow!.. It helps me a lot.. My boyfriend and I just recently break-up. Its really hard for me to move on after what he did to me.. Thanks to this article.. atleast even a little I feel cured.
theres a boy i liked since October of last year and he liked me too at first. but then he completely ignored me and started liking some other girl. they went out and he said he was "in love". after they broke up he asked me out many times but i said no because i didn't believe that he actually liked me. then over the summer, we started dating but he would break up with me and go back to dating the other chick then he'd come back to me. i was so in love that i kept taking him back each time even thought i knew i shouldn't. we broke up for good in September. (this time it was me because he started liking some other chick)I hadn't seen him since the break up. but just recently i saw him again and i realized i still really love him even though i thought i was over him. he doesn't even like me anymore and he keeps openly flirting with other girls right in front of me. i don't know why but i feel like i'm going to cry each time i see him now.
