When you look at them and you don't feel that pang as much or perhaps you won't feel it at all. When hearing their name doesn't make you want to cry or smash a wall. When you remember everything, but don't want to go back.

When you feel the peace inside yourself and when you stop thinking about the whatifs. When you're ok with you, and when you accept that it is over, and that there're nothing you can do about it.

if you can go a whole day without having the desire to call them, or message them etc. Then i think you're ready to move on. In my opinion, sometimes you can never fully get over someone, you may be with the love of your life in 10 years but still care for your girlfriend from when you were 16. Everyone you've ever been with holds a special place in your heart no matter what :)))))

When you can converse about them with ease example, when the pain you once felt had left your system and the worlds flow out with ease. When you stop checking their social media sites, something we're all guilty of. Just as you know when you're in love with someone, you know when you're over someone. Enjoy and embrace the company and attention of others.

You should know when you're over someone when you find yourself not thinking about them anymore. Also when you find yourself not trying to see what they're up to all the time.

You'll know your over someone when they no longer appear so perfect to you. They no longer keep you up at night, and you no longer notice everything they do. Speaking from my own experience of getting over someone, of course.

I think the best tell-tale sign of this is when you find yourself thinking about that person a lot less.

You will no longer care about what they are doing or who they talk to. If they text or call you, it will be perfect to respond formally.

When you stop thinking about them, worrying about them, and thinking of ways yo get them back. Life is to short to dwell over one person.

There may not be one instant where you go - "Aha! I am finally over them!" It may happen gradually. You'll think of them less & less. Then, one day, you'll realize it's been 6 months since you've even thought about them.

It defers from person to person, for me, it's when I can think about them and think of good times without missing them. When you can share your memories of the time you spent together without it hurting you.

When you can fall asleep without them being the last person you think about at night. When it all just hurts a bit less. When you can look at old pictures and not become an emotional wreck. When you've accepted that you need to move on and you've stopped plotting for reconciliation.

It's difficult to point out exactly when you'll be over someone. One way you tell that you're starting to get over them is when you feel comfortable with the idea of being with or getting with someone else that isn't them.

A good way to know you're over someone is when you can begin to remember good times you've shared without that piercing heartache. When you can wish them well, and really mean it, you're probably getting to that point.

You should be over someone when you hear their name a lot of flashbacks don't happen. When you are over someone you should be able to talk about them without feeling hate or dispare.
