First and Foremost.. Im very sorry for your situation.. I had an experience of missing my love.. But Its not failed.. Still it is continuing... Given below are few steps to follow to move on.. Please take care.. and Avoid him in every movement. try to find some different places to work, enjoy and etc... 1 Surround yourself with people who love and care for you. You can get depressed after a love failure but it gets better when you reach out to others who will sympathize and lift you up. Their presence and support can help you heal faster. 2 Reprogram your mind. When you went through several relationships and all of them ended, chances are you had a big influence for their demise. Examine your beliefs about love and correct any wrong misconceptions. You attract what you believe and what you fear most. If your mind constantly thinks you will always be a failure in love, you will be. Change your thought patterns and expect happiness and rewarding experience when love knocks at your door again. 3 Guard your heart. Most heartache is caused by impulsive decisions. A quote in the bible aptly instructs, "Do not arouse or awaken love until it so desires". Jumping from one romantic relationship to another is not only exhaustive. Every time you involve yourself in a love relationship, you give a part of yourself which you can never take back. So be wiser in your choices to save yourself from more disappointments. 4 Examine your inner need for love. Can you honestly say to yourself that you love yourself and receive love from others who care for you? You can draw strength from these sources to help you overcome the failure that is currently hurting you. Else, if your need is not met in this area, you have to work harder to heal from the inside before you can be truly healed from love failure. 5 Pray for the one who is truly meant for you and be prepared. Doing things your own without guidance often leads to regrets especially involvement in romantic relationships. Connect yourself with God and let Him guide and lead you to the right person. You may have to wait longer, but if your faith is strong, you will receive what you asked in time and when you have it, you will never fail in love again. Take Care.. God Bless U..

It's really hard to move on and forget someone we love once in our life. The best thing you can do is,think of all the bad things about him Think that he is the ugliest guy you've ever met in your life. Think that he is the worst person you've ever known,he has bad breath,bad odor and everything is yucky about him I know it's not easy and sounds funny. But,each time you think all the good and sweet moments that you shared with him,it will only makes you harder to moved on and forget him. So,everytime you see him and his new girl (in picture) talk to that picture and say "you're the worst nightmare i ever had,and i am glad that you are out of my life now" and then look at the girl (in picture) and say "ohhh,thank you for taking him,now i don't have anymore nightmares" and then laugh Sounds crazy (hehehe) but,try it,at least you will laugh at yourself

Don't think of it as a negative thing. Be happy to had the opportunity and you still hold the memories of that love. Don't look at photos of them together. Spend as much time as possible with friends and try working to improve yourself. Take a class, learn a new dance, attend a meeting you have never attended before. This will broaden your horizons and help you to work toward making yourself happy again.

Moving on is a tough thing to do. You have to go through some stages after the break up before you can consider yourself to have moved on. There are times that people say that they have moved on, yet in denial that they have move on because you can still sense that they are revengeful or bitter to what happened or to the person they once in relationship with. As for your situation, I think you are still on the denial stage of have skipped the stage of wallowing, letting the break up sink in to your mind. If you still aches when you see him, chills when you see his pictures or when he talks to you, anxious when someone mentions his name. Those are signs that you have not get over him. Start the process again. Allow yourself to remember and recall what caused your relationship to break. Set in to your mind that it is over. Do not be hopeful that he will come back. Let time tell you that he will come back, not you. When you realized that it is over, then accept it. It is just a matter of the mind. When the mind do not accept that it is over, your heart will not likewise let go.

Yes, you are right. moving on is not that easy.. I guess, I`ll just need to accept the fact that we will not be together anymore. even a single percent. Anyway, I know, time heals everything. Thank you for your advice. ^.^

What I have to do it stop thinking of all the reasons we would be "perfect" together and instead think of all the reasons it wouldn't work in the long term. Like, he's not respectful enough or is a smoker or doesn't want kids. Also, I usually have to fall in love with someone else before I really get over someone. Good luck!

Just don't remember the moments because feelings don't die easily because we keep on feeding them with memories.That's exactly the reason why its so hard to move on.
