Go see your ex. Try cursing, or else blurting out that you don't want it to end. Just do something about it.

people always leave, no matter how hard you try to keep them, just remind yourself that you've just got one life and you deserve better, go for parties, dates, eventually you'll meet somebody who is a thousand times better.

I have an ex after 7 years, there are little moments which I have got over my ex, we shared good times and bad times. But knowing that my ex had already moved on, all I'm left with is myself and creating a new life for myself. I have never gotten over my ex, I just moved on with life, carry on with the flow of things and where life should lead me. Maybe there is someone else more suitable for me, maybe the break up should have happened earlier, who knows? But I can't return to where I use to be, that I know.

Right a letter to her don't send it if you don't want to just let all your emotions flow into it and let any built up emotion in side of you become free.

Love again. One way to know that you have gotten over your ex is to love someone and let them enter your life. one reason why you say that you haven't gotten over your ex could be because you are still clinging on to your memories that make you feel good and bad at the same time. it's time to let go, my friend, slowly let go of these memories that you had with your ex and make room for someone new.

I know how you're feeling. I'm having trouble getting over my ex of 4 years. 1st, you have to ask yourself if you still love him. If yes, then that's ok. 2nd, you have to ask yourself if he gave up on you. If he did, then he probably isn't worth it. You don't need someone who gave up on you a long time ago. You need to see your worth. Now, you can start moving on. It's going to be hard and a long process, but keep remembering your worth and know you deserve much better. Hopefully soon someone will treat you the way you deserve and you will learn from this experience!

Ask yourself, what is that last string that is still attached to you to him/her? And think about the reason why you guys broke up?

You should look forward. All the things you loved about your ex are out there in other people. Never dwell on the past and find a better partner.
