Please put thought into it before taking a step. Getting over an ex can be tough and is reasonable. If you feel like it, you can either point out what you never liked about them or have a chat with them, letting them know how you really feel. Since there was a time you two were together, they'll probably understand and you can work out whatever works best for both of you.

Getting over an ex isn't easy. With any loss there is a grieving process that follows. Sometimes all you can do is wait it out. There is no time limit to the grieving process. There are steps you could take toward moving on though.

You should try forgetting him by convincing yourself that you no longer need him/her. You should see other guys/ girls :) Do not let yourself be lock up and stuck in the past. MOVE ON!
