Best way of getting over a break up?

Get drunk and sleep with anything with a pulse

^^ ewww. Can you say STD?

Activity, NO CONTACT WITH THE EX, and working on yourself- push at the gym, take up a new hobby, make new friends (meetup.com is a great way to do all 3)

Good luck!

Meeting new people at completely different places than you would normally hang at. Best advice ever. I met great people and got out of my comfort zone. Try an exercise class you wouldn't normally do, an art class, pottery, a cooking class, a tae kwon do class, or volunteer! Do not go looking for love, but look for friendship and self expression. And above all, do NOT tell the new people you just broke up. Wait a bit. Otherwise they will try to set you up and we all know that rebounds are a no go! Good luck and get yourself out there!

Great advice!!!

I don't mean to sound like Dr. Phil but I'd nail one of her friends. Hard.

Lots of hot distractions

A friend of mine once said that breaking up with someone should be like surviving cancer - cut the tumor out, throw it away and pray it never comes back.

I had a very painful break-up at the end of the summer. I read a good book: "it's called a breakup because it's broken." It was helpful to me and helped me feel somewhat better. My therapist suggested "doing the next best thing" whenever I was missing him. So, I couldn't be with him, but I could take a long walk. I did increase my exercise to fight the mood swings and depression. I got rid of all his stuff. I leaned on my friends and family. I went on a few dates.

I got to the point (in about 3 weeks) where I could acknowledge that I loved him and still wanted him in my life, but that I would be just fine without him.

The funny thing is, when I got control of my emotions and could get through a day without crying, I started communicating with the ex again. Six weeks after the initial breakup and we got back together. Because I made such positive changes in my life, I was more confident, had higher self esteem, and learned not to sweat the small stuff. These changes made me generally more attractive and drew good things into my life.

I also needed to read all of this. My ex and I broke up three weeks ago and in a way I was expecting it so it was easy for me to be like this is it and hit the gym more, stop thinking of him, get rid of his stuff etc... then on Thursday, he begged I go see him, he made me dinner, we laughed, had a wonderful night then he asked to see me again this weekend.. he came over my house, we had a wonderful day cooking, watching movies, snuggling, etc then all of a sudden he got quite and was like ' i need to go home, I don't feel in love with you like I did when we first started dating. I want to love someone more than they love me and our relationship doesn't feel right.' and he left... I haven't stopped crying since yesterday and this time it felt like it just hit me. I was a fool for going back to him after he already broke up with me and I am disappointed for allowing myself to just fall back into his arms.

Life must go on .. I'm just having a hard time figuring out where to start..

No contact. No contact whatsoever.

Hit the gym harder, focus on self improvement, and find a new hobby (running, badminton, whatever).

Craigslist Tranny Hookers, Jack Daniels and Blow.

Hookers and blow. Wait, what?
