How to Get Over Guy – The Steps for Moving On

Are you having trouble get over guy? Whether
he dumped you or you broke up with him, letting
go of someone who you had a close relationship
is very difficult. There is a space in your
heart as well as a space in your life that are
not quickly filled with anything or anyone else.
Yet, people do get over a relationship. Here
are five steps to get over guy you still like.

First, you need to let out the hurt. Know that
it is okay to cry when you are trying to get over
guy. Some people keep a journal of their
experiences because writing about the pain helps.

One thing that I have seen some people do that is
very effective is to write a long letter about the
relationship to their ex boyfriend. Talk about the
good times and bad. Talk about the relationship
and how he hurt you. Let it all out. When you have
finished the letter, burn it. That’s right. Don’t
even think about sending it to your ex. Instead,
let flames consume the letter. That provides
excellent closure to the relationship.

Next, you have to decide that the relationship is
really over. If you hold on to the thought that he
will change and come back to you, you will never get
over guy and move on.

Do something that symbolizes the finality of the end
of the relationship. A good example of this is to
exchange all of the personal property that you have of
the other’s. Don’t even keep the oversized t-shirt of
his that is so comfortable for sleeping in. And, if
there are things to minor to exchange (like a toothbrush),
throw them away. Clear your place of all of his things.
It is a way of clearing him from your life.

You need to depend on your friends through this time.
Until you meet your husband, guys will come and go, but
your girlfriends are forever. If you have been in a hot
and heavy relationship, you may have inadvertently ignored
your friends for a time. Not only will your girls help
you get over guy, but reconnecting will be good for your
social life.

Also, your girlfriends will have had similar experiences
to your break up. Sharing their pain will help you
understand that, however bad the hurt you are experiencing,
others have survived and you will too.

You will probably have extra time on your hands now that
you have broken up. You used to spend a lot of time with
your ex. Use this time productively to get over guy. Go
to the gym and get your body in shape. Take up a new hobby.

One of the best things you can do during this period is to
join a group or a class. Not only does a class take up the
time you would have spent with your ex, but it also
introduces you to a new circle of friends.

And, that brings me to my last point, when you want to get
over guy, the best thing you can do is move on. Between
your old friends, the new friends you make in your class
or hobby, and the activities you do to fill up your time,
you will emerge as a new person.

Moving on is the best way to get over guy.
