How To Get Over An Ex: 5 Simple Steps

1. Take your ex off that pedestal.


Stop acting like your ex was God's gift to mankind. He/she wasn't perfect. Make a list of his/her annoying traits. Do whatever you have to do just take him/her off the pedestal.

2. Get closure.

If you're going to end this thing, end it. Make sure you're both on the same page and get any information that you feel is necessary concerning them and/or the break-up.

3. Don't contact your ex.

After you’ve gotten closer, don’t contact him/her. Go cold turkey, seriously! Maybe you said something about trying to stay friends, maybe you made some idiot vow to “always be there for each other” but forget it. By staying in touchwith old flames there's going to be on-again-off-again uncertainty. So throw out him/her phone number, stop texting him/her, unfriend him/her on Facebook and unfollow him/her on Twitter. 

4. Avoid your ex's friends and the places he/she would typically hang.

If you want to avoid the temptations that come with bumping into an ex, you might have to make some sacrifices. You might have stop associating with some of your mutual friends. You might have to avoid some of your favorite places too.

5. Party, Party, Party!

Get up and get out. Go partying with friends and be young, wild and free. Moping around the house wouldn't do anything but make you depressed.
