Top 5 Ways to Get Over an Ex-boyfriend Right After the Break-Up

How to Forget Your Ex


Here are the top 5 ways to get over a past boyfriend. Depending on the length of the relationship, it might be harder and take longer to actually get over them. If it was a bad breakup, usually it’s easier to get over a former boyfriend, unless you loved him. However, if it was a mutual breakup, or just the wrong circumstances and timing that break the two up, it could be especially difficult to get over them.

1.) Get rid of everything that reminds you of them-

Don’t keep unnecessary reminders of what you once had with your ex. It will only fester in your head. Burn them; destroy them, anything to disassociate yourself with him. Plus, any evidence of you keeping love letters or gifts from your ex will likely be a headache for you in your next relationship if they find those. So, fix it so you’ll never have that problem

2.) Set up as many dates as possible-

Go dating! And have fun doing it. It can only help build your self confidence. If things don’t work out on a date, who cares, go on another. But don’t limit yourself to characteristics that were of your ex. Opening yourself up will help you to try new things and date people you wouldn’t normally date. Also, it will make you feel like you can do better than your ex, and that will help you significantly in getting over your former boyfriend.

3.) Find new hobbies or continue doing hobbies that you couldn’t while with them-

Finding a new hobby like taking tennis lessons or simply going on fishing trips will help ease your mind. You will have a new personal goal and be more focused on that hobby than on the person that just broke up with you. Continue old hobbies if you stopped doing so while with your ex. The truth is you should have been doing them anyway while you were with them. You should never change your hobbies for someone else.

4.) Introduce yourself to new people-

This is a good way to meet new friends and to pick up new hobbies. You won’t feel so bad now that you’re not sitting in the house moping over them. Get out and meet someone new and rediscover yourself.

5.) Take a vacation-
