Getting over with someone doesn't have schedules. For some, it takes years, months, or days. If it has been a year, ask yourself: "Why am I not over her/him?" Is it because I was hurt? Is it because I was happy with our relationship?I recommend you list the good and bad experiences you had with that person. Maybe by looking at the list, you can find your answer.

Sometimes it is hard to "get over" an ex , even after a number of years. Sometimes we have our first love and it may never leave us. In the end, we learn to live with that, and it is okay to leave a little piece of your heart with someone. Loving feelings about an ex can continue for any number of reasons. Often enough, folks take this as an indication to attempt reunion. Sometimes this is absolutely right. But frequently the lover realizes his recollected feelings and memories—the internal image of the ex—are distinctly different from the feelings engendered in his or her actual presence. Learning to distinguish between the internal image of an ex and the actual person can lead to appreciation of our own feelings. While we may feel consistently injured and angry when in the presence of an ex, in our internal world we may be able to access love and compassion for that same person.

Be patient- time heals old wounds eventually. Take some time to focus on you and do something you enjoy. Confide in your closest friends and family- isolation won't help you any faster.

I believe that there is honestly no time constrain on how long it should take you to get over a significant other. It would be hard for other people to answer that for you considering that they didn't experience the relationship as you have. Personally I dated my best friend for a bit and although it's been almost two years I am still not completely over what happened. Following your heart is the best thing you can do, you can take however long you need to heal from your relationship.

Well I guess some people do have it tough, getting over their past relationships. I have struggled with it for the past 2 years, I could not get myself to like another person, it felt like I was cheating myself so I just occupied myself with things that I loved doing( i like studying, so I started studying vigorously). This is the beauty of life, you have got so many things to do, so much to learn, so many people to meet, all you have to do it is to reach out to them. You can try occupying yourself with something you like. Making new relationships/friendships can be tricky, people who can do that get over this period rather easily. You need to keep telling yourself that you are doing good in life, and that the transition will take place, don't try too hard. Life is short, so instead of sulking over a person that has moved out of life, better to liven it up. Because before you know it, time will pass and you will regret later that you could have used the time, you wasted thinking about a person who doesn't matter to you anymore

Maybe try seeing different people, it will be hard but it will be worth it unless you really want them back, then try talking to them.

Surround yourself with a strong support system. Live your life and enjoy the moments that come from it. You'll realize that you are thinking about this person less and less.

Maybe you will never get over them, but don't stay hung up and obsessing. Move on. Sleep with someone new, get caught up in a job, do something you really like.
