But time will heal that feeling and just keep being active and yourself and boom!! someone else will come along to enjoy that with you :)
Wish ya the best!

Often six months to a year.

Difficult to get any perspective before that, as the event is too recent for detachment.

Wish you all the best moving on. Stay engaged with the present, it helps you avoid living in your past.

Thank you for your kind words. Friends are sick of me talking about it so makes me feel good that i do need more time to be able to move on... even tho he seems to be doing it quite fast.

I've totally been there. I can remember wishing the same thing.. and I can promise you, the day will come. Don't feel bad if it doesn't come in the next few months, or the next year. There is no magic number of days or months that it takes to stop thinking about your ex- it happens when it happens.
Just try to enjoy your new life without him and he will be off your radar without you even realizing.

I feel your pain. I've stayed off all dating sites for the exact reason. I no longer think about my ex all the time anymore and the urge to check up on him only pops up when I'm PMSing, but I still would hate to see his profile on any site. And it's been 9 months for me. One day at a time. It does get better.

Thank you! Seriously, your words/experience make me feel better.

My ex started his next relationship before he was out of ours. ;) Take as much time as you want--and remember to take good care of yourself: lots of water, vits, eat healthy, exercise. It gets better. Once in awhile, it even gets Really Damned Good.
