The right thing to do is to languish for a little while and then get some other chick (must be as hot or hotter than your old one) and get over the ex. I promise it works. If it doesn't work, buy a new car.

I've slept with three other people in the past 8 weeks, it hasn't helped the way im feeling a god damn bit.

/wondering why he used the word "people" instead of "girls"

whyd she break it up anyway?

Sorry, "girls".

I made mistakes, we had been together 2 years nearly, I started taking her for granted and started lacking in our relationship.

I always managed to be late meeting up with her, lost my temper a lot, i just had a very bad year last year and I ended up making it worse for myself.

What hurts the most is I really feel like things could work now I fully understand where I went wrong, but how am I supposed to deal with that?

I would do anything in the world, i mean anything to have her back
Whats wrong with the relationship right now is that you are emotionally dependant on her, and as long as you are your chances of being with her are pretty damn bad.

Go show her you know how to live your own life.

Don't be needy. Build happiness from within. Go into the world and be amazingly happy without her. If you do that, you will have a chance with her.

It feels impossible, really it does..

Ok...now heres some practical advice. Notice when you think about her - do this actively, don't try to stop the thoughts, but just notice them. Are some of the thoughts images? Are they sounds? Imagine the images becoming extremely faded, imagine pushing them very far away from you. Make the sounds(the voice in your head for example) quiet. Also, twist the voice into something that sounds really silly - whenever you find yourself thinking of her immediately make yourself think of crusty the clown combined with William Hung or something ridiculous like that(basically, you are changing the tonality of the voice inside your head.)

Another suggestion: force yourself to smile for twenty minutes a day - such as when you are in the shower. Clinical studies have proven this is a more powerful antidepressant than most drugs on the market. BUT - add onto the smiling fast steady deep breaths. Look up. Open your eyes wide. Stand/sit tall. Raise your hands into the air. Do it.

But does she want you? :p

She doesnt want you now because you want her... go figure. The minute you stop liking her... she starts falling for you again. :confused:

Considering that you basically showed her that your vagina is bigger than hers the relationship is forever doomed so you might as well buck up and get over it now. Women don't want sensitive men regardless of what they claim. They expect the man to be stronger than them and thus give them a sense of security and all you have done is show here that you need extra absorbant tampons more than her so she will definitely be looking elsewhere for a MAN. I'm really not trying to be harsh but I know exactly where you are coming from as I made all the mistakes when I was young so I am speaking from experience.

She doesn't want him because he is such a wuss when he sees her! What kind of girl could possibly want to be around a male that cries every time he sees her!? A MOM: Obviously, we hope attraction isn't gonna be in that kind of relationship.

DANNYBOY : You need to be able to be happy without her. Its ok to still like her though, just don't depend on her for your happiness.

Get over her, it's not worth ruining your life over something like this. If you disagree, then maybe you have some real growing up to do (since the relationship ran rancid the first time), and if you're willing to make the necessary improvements, I say go for it and see if you can work things out.

Two years of dating is quite a long time to just forget someone, so I realize it's not an easy choice. Good luck whatever you do. :)

DannyBoy, sorry to hear about your pain, dude, but listen to me: You will get over her. Everyday the pain will hurt less and less, until one day you won't even notice it.

I can guarentee you the moment you meet another girl you click with you won't give a toss about your ex.

I'm sorry this has happened to you.

but I will tell you something that I've picked up... because your're probably thinking about things in the past...a kiss, love making, hand holding, a certain trip, fights, stupidity, warmth, laughter...just a whole bag of emotions...I bet you go thru the entire relationship in your mind each day. correct?

3 simple words my friend

"don't mean nuthin"

you will soon realize that there is NOTHING you can do...and since that is true, is not worth crying over...period. If it was to work out, then it would have already.

Why would you cry when you saw her? WTF? Get a grip, or get professional help. You are basing way too much of you life on this woman.

If you get the chance to talk to her again, just be youself. Be the guy you were when she liked you, and be confident. Right now you just look like a wimpering little biotch to her.

damn..why you cry for? i wouldn't. even if it hurts you the most still never let a woman see you cry pal. that shows them you're weak and ain't man enough for them. by crying you showed her that she pWn3d y0 aZZ and she's in the control. Pfff why not try to get another girl to get her jealous and she'll craw her butt back to ya. heheheh that's how women works. they will want something that they don't have yet. till they do they get fed up hehehehe
