Take the time to grieve for your loss. Know that it's okay to still have feelings for them, as long as they don't overwhelm you. Perhaps focusing on other priorities in life would help. Cherish and appreciate the good times as well as the bad, in time you'll be able to look back and be okay with it.

Getting over anyone in any serious or non-serious relationship can be hard and does take time. Everyone gets over someone sooner than others and that's based on the individual. Things will be okay and you just need to let yourself know whatever with your first love didn't work out doesn't mean it won't for someone else.

I'm in this same boat right now actually, what I'm doing is I'm trying not to think about him, I'm hoping that the less I think about him the faster I can get over him.

it may be helpful to take a few weeks for yourself, completely distancing yourself from any of their social media or anything else connected to them. spend some time with yourself and with your friends, and you might find that things feel less raw. this gives you a chance to look at things from a distance and come back into yourself, so to speak. there is no right way to heal or to move on, unfortunately. but remember that first implies next, and as impossible and difficult as it might seem right now, all of this will come to an end, and things will move forward as they always do.

Try to get over it by deleting their contact, email and phone number. You can start going to salon, and party. Have a lot me time would help.

It's totally normal to have a hard time. Just learn to accept that it ended for a reason, and apply that to your next romance. Live and learn :)

I know how you feel. It's hard and it hurts. That feeling you get knowing they don't feel the same way. But it's time to move on honey. You can do it. When you're over them it'll open you up to so many new people.

No one ever forgets their first love. It's an important milestone. You need to figure out what happened, why it went wrong and move on from there. Try and keep yourself busy doing positve things and try not to romanticize the past. Our brains have a brilliant way of forgetting the bad and only remembering the good. Good Luck!
