All things come with time, and part of coping is learning how to make the passage of time more bearable while your heart tries to heal. For me, that means absorbing myself in something--anything. It can be school, work, or even a hobby. Find what works best for you, and let time do the work.

When you are in a relationship but it still doesn't feel right, you keep comparing someone else with your ex or the person you used to love. You can also tell if you don't want to date anyone because you know that whatever you do you cant get over him. He is in your thoughts all the time and when you see him there are butterflies in your stomach but also the ache in your chest because he is no longer yours.

It's really hard to do, I know from experience, you just have to be able to tell yourself that they were no good for you if they broke it off without you feeling it was necessary.

Be gentle with yourself and try to keep busy. It's okay to still love them, but try not to keep any contact with them so that you have the space to move on. Also, keep a checklist to remind yourself of why the relationship can't work out, and look at it often. As humans we tend to recollect only good memories with past loves, so this will give you perspective. Lean on your friends and family too, and be open about your pain. Talking through the end of a relationship will kick-start the healing process. But most of all, please be kind to yourself if you slip up or are broken over it, you loved someone and are only human. You will be okay.

Well , just thinking that everything is over and everyone must move on into life because I know soon or late that love will fade away as a proverb says " if a person is far from your eye he is far from your heart to " so I decide to move on and live my life !

You put your faith in time, which is an amazing healer. You look forwards, don't dwell on the past.

Remember the good times you had with them but take this as a time for personal growth and reflection to do the things you love and grow on your own.

The pain will hurt, but with time the wound on your heart will heal. Distraction through friends and hobbies can help the process along, but you will move on from the loss when you are personally ready.

Get support from family and friends. Have a girls night out or even a fun girls night in! Distract myself in a positive way.

It's hard to move on when you are still in love with someone else try to focus on the positive parts of life and surround yourself with a strong support group. You can't completely move on until you are able to let go of the past.

First off, cut all contact with that particular person. Cold turkey. Throw everything that reminds you of that person. Second of all, start to invest your time in projects, hobbies, work, whatever that may be. Keep your mind occupied. Pamper yourself. Third of all, give yourself time in order for you to heal. This is the most important step.

Accept your feelings for what they are. Accept that it hurts, but try to remember that pain is temporary. Remember to breathe, then put one foot forward.

You start the process of loving yourself. Develop a new hobby something exciting to get the adrelines on the run for happiness and giving happiness = gaming happiness. You learn your soul and fall in love with it.

Find their flaws, and write yourself inspirational things people have you love had said to you. Watch videos of you being a kid - remember there's been more to your life than this one person!

If you have a very good reason to be with that person, tell them how you feel. However, if it hurts to be with them, move on. And by moving on, love yourself completely. And then maybe you will find yourself in a hearty relationship.

Slowly distance yourself from them. Unfollow them on social media, and delete their number. This doesn't have to be all at once, but once the distance is far enough apart, your feelings may change towards that person.

Time. Taking the time to really reflect and move on is the best answer I can think of. Some can't reflect easily, though. In that case, I would suggest to do random things to get your mind off of it. Things such as, spending time with family and friends, exercising, learn something new (language, musical instrument, recipe to cook, etc etc), and so many other healthy/safe/enjoyable things to do.

If the other person is not responding, then keep in mind that this one sided love will never bring you happiness. Aim for your goal. There is a tough competition out there, and you started your journey to make your dreams come true. Those dreams will make you move on.
