Why am I stuck on him?

You make the choice to get over him, and then you get busy doing it. It takes a concerted effort along with a willingness to understand why being stuck on anyone isn’t a good thing.

Have you had any other relationships since?
Chances are you’re still ‘stuck on him’ because there’s no other recent association for relationships, togetherness, etc. You might be missing the feeling of being with someone more than you’re missing him.

There has not been a relationship since. Of course there was the few casual dates but that’s about it. I always tend to compare every guy I meet or get interested in to him.

If you got close and very involved with him and you’re comparing casual dates to the closeness you had in that steady relationship – of course they won’t measure up.

Don’t look for a replacement relationship because no two are alike and the new one can only fail if you compare – if you have to compare, compare how happy you felt on this first date vs. the last first date.

I suggest you take the time to miss your lost relationship. Morn it and then move on.
Take a positive view on being single, enjoy it. And when you’re ready, think about dating again.

my best friend is going through the same exact thing… I think life is wayyyyyy to short to be stuck on one person for a year straight. Go out with your friends, have fun, do things that will take your mind off him… Trust me, it will get better.

@apple: It is easy for us to tell you to get over him, but we all know what is like to lose someone and pine for him/her. I imagine you’re in high school? You know, when I was in high school, the same sort of thing happened to me. There wasn’t a day that went by that I didn’t think about him, or wonder if we would ever get back together. We both went to college at the same time, but about 400 miles away from each other. Soon, I met new people, saw new things, and I understood that there was more out there. Until you see someone else who you think has the qualities you like in a person, you will probably keep thinking about your ex. Good luck!

I’ve mentioned before that it has taken me a year or more to get over some relationships, and I didn’t date in the meantime. I don’t know that I could have, and I think that’s just the way some people are wired.

I say just ride it out. Maybe your heart is still puzzling over why it unraveled. Let it puzzle. Let your friends tell you that they’re tired of hearing you moan about him (thank them later for listening). When you’re ready, it’ll be a beautiful day and some beautiful boy will make himself known to you.

based on past experience, date, have fun, keep busy with your friends and family, do things like hobbies or something totally different from the norm like sky diving, bungee jumping etc.

You sooner or later find something or someone to keep your mind off him.
