5 healthy ways to get over him


Check these out, too...

  • Play hard to get--without coming off snooty
  • Do long distance relationships work?
  • What he really thinks of your fave summer outfit
  • Is there a way to flirt without being obvious?
  • When's the right time to spill your feelings?
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.

Mod mod mod!!! My crush was my best friend and then he said that he likes me and I told him I like him back. He was really happy about it, and I guess I am too, but I don't know. Things are all awkward between us now, and I want to go back to being just friends. How can I tell him that?

 

 

Hey chica! I'd be honest with him sooner, rather than later. Let him know that while you do have feelings for him, you miss the way it used to be. He should understand, and it's likely that he may even feel the same way. If you do truly like him, though, I'd give it a little time. Every relationship is awkward at first!

MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD! So I just got back from a two week trip to the United Nations. There were teenagers from Canada, the US, Switzerland and the Netherlands on my bus. We all got really close, especially this guy and I. I think I really like him, a lot. But he went back to Switzerland last week. We're keeping in touch over Facebook, but I don't think I'll ever really see him again. How can I stop myself from liking him? Thanks Smile Oh, p.s. On the second last day about 8 of us were playing Truth (like truth or dare but everyone has to answer the question and there aren't any dares), and someone asked "if you were forced to marry someone on this trip who would it be?" He chose me, and I chose him... Help??

 

 

Hey girly! I'd keep in touch, and then one day, go visit! Or, have him come visit here. It's definitely possible! One of my closest friends lives in central Mexico. I've had a thing for him ever since he was an exchange student at my college, and I've been down to visit him. I know how you feel about missing him, and not knowing when you'll see him next. However, I promise, with time, it'll get easier! Smile

MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD thanks for your time i really like this boy and i might possibly love him .one day i told him i like him and he said he liked me back .i asked him the next day before our student council if he still liked me he said yes,but later on that day at the zoo he said he didnt like me so i finished the day . on monday i asked why he said its better we stay friends (we have known each other since 1st grade)i asked if he liked me he said kinda and then on the last day he said he didnt like me because i joked about him claiming a chair i still like him and he's my facebook friend so i wanted to message him: i know you'll hate this song and me but i feel this way still sorry . so thank for time should i send it please respond soon and i cant get over him i think messageing this is like telling i love him thxs




Hey girlie,

This is definitely a grand gesture and it's sweet of you to think of it, but it sounds like he's going back and forth for more reasons than just the joking around. It sounds like he's hesitant to crush on you and date you because he doesn't want to ruin the friendship you've had for so long! So definitely Facebook message him and give him a heartfelt apology for that whole joking/teasing situation, but try not to push too hard. It's tough but ya gotta respect what he tells you and, if he finally decides it's better for you to stay friends, you have to respect those feelings too <3

Make a playlist of girl-power songs and songs that boys sing to girls when they love them, to make you feel better. Put on a fashion show in your prettiest clothes that make you happy. Sing until your throat hurts. Eat as much ice cream or sweets as you need. Give yourself a spa day. But most importantly, carry your head high, shoulders back, so you exude confidence. It will totes make him regret breaking up with such a self-assured girl.

Now, here's something you should never do: beg the boy to get back with you. Don't. If the guy was a jerk enough to break up with you, you don't need him anyways.

Don't change yourself into some clone of the popular girls to get him back. If he can't accept you the way you are, then he does not deserve an amazing guy like you.

And, focusing on keeping your mind away from him and doing other stuff will help. Flirt with other guys in front of him- show him that you were the best thing that ever happened to him, and he just lost the best girl!!!

MOD MOD MOD so i was finally starting to feel a little better after my breakup when he texted me. I know he wants us to be friends, and in the long run i do too, but right now im torn between getting over him and losing him forever, or letting myself get hurt all the time, and being friends with him. idk wat to do plz help! thanks Frown

 

 

Hey babe. You need to take care of yourself. If you two are meant to be friends then he will be there when you are ready. Be nice for now, but look out for your heart.
