How are you suppose to move on?

I broke up with my girlfriend more than a year ago. I left the country thinking that I would come back. However, being dependent on my family, they convinced me to stay so I can change my bad habits. I dated this girl for 6 months and I spent more than half my day with her. To say that I was with her 24/7 would literately be the truth out of my mouth.

I occasionally have flashbacks of the last moments we had together before I left for my flight. I felt free when I left her and I actually felt a lot of weight off my back. I was always mind controlled by this girl. I mean she would call me, and basically make me stay up with her all night on the phone or she would threaten to break up with me. I drove myself crazy thinking that I did something wrong when I really didn't.

What do you do to move on and open your heart to a new girl?

Jump. That's all I can say.. just do it. We always come away from breakups thinking it deserves some time of mourning or something, but it really doesn't. It happened, it was good or bad, but right now is all that's real. Whether you like it or not, just ask someone out.. even casually. At first it won't feel right, but it honestly helps the process get started. Nothing heals a broken heart like finally moving on. Especially when you click with someone new. And ESPECIALLY when that someone new is better for you. Sounds like your "loss" was a win. I do suggest being single for a while though.. nothing is more healing than finding yourself, but if your time is spent wallowing over your ex, it's not time well spent.

The first thing to do is to accept the reality that the person you are moving on from is already history. And that they would never come back. The second thing is to ensure that you open up yourself to meeting and being with someone that would not be like here. That's the easiest way to start the moving on process.

Sometimes getting busy could just help. you need to tell yourself that the person wasn't gold for you. Then focus on your life and the realities of things
