What should I do?

Me and my ex broke up quite a while ago. We still spend time together and we did the whole friends with benefits thing. Things went pretty bad and im trying to move on. But honestly I get really upset and freaked out when it comes to even kissing another guy. I hate it and I just want to be kissing my ex. Im still so in love with him but im smart enough to know we're not going to work and moving on is the best thing. How do i get closure so i can begin dating or at least be interested in other people?

    You need to stop allowing yourself to get back with him, such as kissing him, hooking up with him.. that is just teasing your mind and it's making it a lot harder to move on. You need to remember why you have broken up.. And if you love him that much maybe you might consider giving him a second chance? Honestly it`s up to you.. and him. If it is something you can`t overcome then you need to sit down and realize that, he isn`t right for you. Start going out with your girls, meet new guys.. slowly but surely time will heal your pain.

    I know how it would be like with somebody when you are in love with someone else. Getting over a person and moving on need time. Take some time to get the idea that you're not with him anymore sink in to your mind. Take a course or start a hobby. At least watch a new TV series. Dating or kissing another guys? Don't worry about that. Your hormones will do the job. A time will come when both your body and mind will need a man. At that time you'll be over him and ready to try new experiences.

    First of all end it. I remember my fiancee dumping me out of the blue..then coming back begging for forgiveness...but I knew he was with another girl the day AFTER he left me...so even though I still wasn't over him I said not in a million years will I take you back...he was so arrogant that he said I bet I can come back in 10 years and you will still want me...I knew then and there he was not my Mr. Right...I didn't trust men for at least a good 5 years after that.

    You shouldn't feel you ahve to date and get into a romantic situation with guys. Talk to any dates about what you've gone through, that you are not emotionally available but you do appreciate their company and friendships and maybe they will still want to date you...some guys may not want to as they want more...but at least you don't have to feel pressured and have been honest upright.

    Best thing though I think is to give dating a rest and go out with the girlfriends and find hobbies or something to do with your time that allows you to give of yourself. Keeping busy is very important and before long you will find you don't think of him anymore. But end the relationship totally and completely or you can never move on. Go back to school if you can...it will give you such a sense of accomplishment to be in learning environment with new people.

    It doesnt' feel right kissing other guys because its too soon...your wounds are too fresh. Use this time to heal your heart...you already know that things will not work out between you too...it just takes time. I know this all to personally...but I can tell you it gets better. Just take the lessons you learned while you were with you ex and apply them to the next guy. But there are no magical words to give you closure...this is something you will have to do on your own...one thing you can do is find a new focus...find an outlet..like go to the gym or go for a run...write poetry...before you know it you will look back on your experience with him and smile...smile because I'm sure he'll be kicking himself for losing you...smile because god wants us to meet a few wrong ones so when we meet the right one we will know how to be greatful and cherish what we have...

    p.s. i see your from the north...i'm from mn myself...damn i miss it up there. one more thing to smile about...this will cause me to get some thumbs down i'm sure...but northern girls are way way better then southern girls...but shhhh don't tell anyone...

    im in that same situation and i have learned that the best thing to do is pull away from him because being around him all the time and having sex with him only hurts you then once you do that you should just take it one day at a time and pray for strength to move on and be happy again while you are single, just have fun and enjoy life what ever you do dont SO around dwelling on him and do not call him

    umm.. i dont know.. maybe youre not interested with other guys because you still stick to your exboyfriend..learn first to let go of him and before you let yourself on the dating process and before entering a relationship because youll never come to love someone if your ex still reigns in your heart..
