Getting Over Your Ex-Girlfriend

Either you dumped her or she gave you your walking papers. She is now officially your ex-girlfriend. So what comes next?

There are things you can do to mend your heart, because even if she didn?t break it, your heart is probably a bit bruised right now.

You can?t get out of a relationship without having a few regrets and the occasional sad feeling.

How do you get over her and get her out of your mind so you can move back into the dating scene? The first thing to do, and perhaps the most important, is to get rid of all those little romantic reminders of her. This includes pictures, letters, gifts, text messages, things you bought together, etc.

If you don?t want to throw it away, put it in a box in the back of your closet until you are ready to get rid of it. Anything that reminds you of her is something you should think seriously about getting rid of.

This also goes for things you left at her place. Just let them go, unless they are expensive items or something that you are sentimental about, such as your grandfather?s pocket watch.

You might find yourself getting a little lonely when you are no longer with your ex-girlfriend. You might find yourself wanting to call her up and have sex for old time?s sake, or some other such nonsense.

Don?t do it. You will just wind up confusing her and having to extricate yourself from your relationship again. Feelings of loneliness are not a good excuse to see what your ex is doing that night.

It is a step backward instead of forward, and if you think about it rationally, you really don?t want to do that. Instead, hang out with your buddies, and enjoy the feeling of male companionship.

Go trolling for new women; get a few phone numbers even if you don?t plan to use them right away. Enjoy the feeling of freedom that comes with breaking up with your girlfriend and being able to see what other exciting possibilities are out there.

Flirt to your heart?s content because you can. You no longer have to feel guilty about checking out the hot body on some other woman. You can even take the ultimate step of sleeping with someone else in a hot little booty call with no strings or emotions attached on either side.

Sleeping with someone else is a surefire way to wipe your ex from your mind and your body. If all else fails and you are feeling a bit misty and missing what you had with your ex, think about the bad times.

Think about why you broke up, and all the times she was totally mean and impossible. Remind yourself in painful detail about how high maintenance she was, or how she called her mother every day of her life, and how much you hated her stupid cat.

Getting over your ex does not have to be difficult, and it is definitely not impossible to do. You just have to focus on other things, and you will soon find yourself ready to toss out that box you hid in the back of your closet.
