5 healthy ways to get over him


Check these out, too...

  • Why can't I get a guy?
  • 5 signs your guy lost interest
  • Play hard to get--without coming off snooty
  • Do long distance relationships work?
  • What he really thinks of your fave summer outfit
We’ve all been there: Sitting in your PJ’s with your bestie and a pint of Ben &Jerry’s, crying your eyes out. But let’s be honest, tears and pity parties only get you so far. There’s a better way, a healthier way, to move on.  It’s time to quit thinking about him and start focusing on Y-O-U. 

So long, Mr. Wrong. Hello, new and improved you!

1. Get healthy
Get your heart beating fast again…but this time, without the guy. Burn off all your negative energy by doing an exercise you heart. It’ll get your mind off things for a bit, not to mention get you one step closer to that perfect bikini bod. Trust us, you’ll feel SO much better afterwards.

2. Clean your room
Still listening to that playlist he made you? Hanging on to that photo album you wanted to give him for V-Day? Get rid of it. That’s right, all of it. Grab everything that reminds you of him and trash it (or at least box it up and ask your BFF to keep it out of sight). Wanna go one step further? Clean and rearrange your room for a fresh start.

3. Try something new
Always thought you’d be a great class prez? Been too nervous to try that pixie cut you’ve wanted for forever? Now’s the time to let go of those old fears that are holding you back and plow straight ahead into the future. Put your wildest dreams in motion and go for it! Not quite so daring? Try a new type of cuisine or finally take that kickboxing class.

4. Splurge a bit
You’ve been eyeing that adorable dress for ages. It’s a bit out of your price range, but seriously, it looks so great on you. Go ahead, girl, treat yourself. Don’t go breaking the bank, but dishing out a few extra bucks for something that makes you feel fab about yourself is totally worth it. Enjoy!

5. Hit the books
Without the guy, you’ve got a little extra time on your hands. Instead of wasting it on Facebook, do something productive. Read a book you’ve wanted to check out or take up a new hobby you’ve been dying to try. Who knows, you may just stumble upon a new passion—one that’s all about you and so not about him.

my boyfriend is in grade 8 , and for the end of the year field trip , he went to toronto. he ended up kissing his best girl friend, but they both assured me it was in the moment and there were no feelings. after a while, i forgave him . but he got mad at me when i told him that my ex still had feelings for me . he broke up with me in a text the next day, but he said he wanted to "take a break and wait for everything to cool down" . he's usually a really nice guy, and i want to get back together! what does he mean 'wait for things to cool down' ? and what should i do in the mean time?

 

Hey girl!  If he broke up with you, you are free to do whatever you want in the meantime, but if you want to get back together, check with him and see when you guys are going to talk things out.  Maybe he's upset about your ex and he wants to make sure you don't still have feelings for him.  Maybe he's questioning whether he has feelings for his BGF.  Whatever the case, the key is communication with your guy.  Try calling or texting him and asking him to clear things up!  xoxo

ok i was thinking about breaking up with my bf, and then he broke up with me b cuz i have more strength. tht kinda stuff. and he was a real jerk and i just couldnt see it b cuz i am going thro something a i felt wanted when i was with/txting him. and my bff txted him and he told her to go die in a ditch somewhere. i feel like i need to show him i will be fine without him. its hard to think about dating because it makes me sick tht i liked this guy. my friends told me, both guys and girls, he was a player and i couldnt change tht. we dated for a month and a few days. i wasted a month and a few days how do i get them back. ps plz dont forget my other questions in the messge

MOD!!! hey, so im in seventh grade and this eighth grader likes me and everybody keeps telling me he's going to ask me out. my mom says im not allowed to date until im in highschool. what do i do if he asks me out?
THANKS!!!!!




Hey girl,

Just be honest! Blame it on mom - tell him you like him a lot and would love to get to know him better, but it'll have to be as friends for now til your parents give you the OK. Shrug and smile. If he likes you, he'll understand and will hang out in groups, text you, and see you in school to grow closer as friends first!

MOD MOD MOD! i did something the caused irreversible damage in our friendship. And then we agreed that we shouldn't be friends anymore because he likes to remember the bad moments in our friendship. About texting him, he thinks that when you're not friends anymore it's complete withdrawal which basically means you no longer do anything with that person. Anyways, what can i do to get over him?




Hey girl, I understand where he's coming from. He's trying to erase you from his life by distance. And if that's what he wants, benefit from it too. Try distancing yourself and plugging yourself into activities with other friends. It takes two to have a friendship and it sounds like he's decided for himself he doesn't want one.

MOD MOD MOD! Me and my BGF just broke up our friendship. Anyways, now I'm really depressed and I really miss him. How can I get over him?




Hey babe! 

Why aren't you and your BGF friends anymore? Is it something that's fixable, or did one of you do something that caused irreversibly damage in your friendship? Chances are, he's missing you too. Why don't you text him to see if he wants to meet up and talk about how he feels? Let me know what happens! xoxox
