What is the best way to get over someone?
I'm pretty sure he doesn't even care about me anymore, in fact I'm pretty sure he hates me and I don't know why. How does someone go to "I love you" to "I hate you" in an instant?
But yet I still think about him time to time and wonder how he is doing or hope that he might text me or something

It's an awful feeling, to feel that you don't matter to someone who once said that they loved you. You MUST get your mind on something else. Think of every interest or passion that you had in your life BEFORE this guy. Get involved in these things again, preferably with other friends. Surround yourself with fun people who will help you to get your mind off him. I know it doesn't feel like it, but there is a HUGE world out there that has nothing to do with this guy. A huge world filled with potential friends and/or future boyfriends who will make you forget this guy.
The longer you are away from this guy and doing the things you enjoy (not staying alone and brooding, that will just make it worse), the sooner you will stop thinking about him all the time. Don't give him that kind of power. He doesn't deserve it. Do not go out of your way to talk to him or try to run into him. It will just feed his any power he might feel he has over you. Do not text him. It is possible that when he doesn't hear from you or see you for a while that he will come crawling back. Don't take the bait. If he was worth your time he wouldn't be treating you the way he is. Even if he wanted to end the relationship, there are healthier ways to end it than by saying "I hate you" then ignoring you.
The world has so much to offer you. Go get it - it's yours for the taking.

I think just everyone on the planet goes through this with an ex.
People are gonna tell you that you should date someone else to try to make him jealous or crap like that. But the truth is the only way to get over someone is to focus on you. I know it can be hard to stop thinking about what he's doing, or who he's talking to, but you'll drive yourself mad if you do that all day long.
Do things that take your mind off of him. Read a book, paint, draw, whatever you like doing. Spending time with friends is huuge in situations like this. They can always help you get through the toughest times. Plus, while hanging out with friends you might meet someone new!
Just know that even if it might feel like it, it's not the end of the world. Spend time with friends and start finding yourself again.
Things will get better sweetie. :)

All you can do is your best to let it go and get on with your life. Accept the fact that it's over, Hon. In time you will feel so much better and wonder what you ever saw in him. Keep yourself busy with other activities and above all, don't sit around wishing, wondering and waiting. Men are like buses. If you miss one, another one comes along every 20 minutes. You'll be fine. Give yourself time to heal and let it go.

best way to get over someone is to keep busy. get a gym membership, hang out with single friends, go out for a walk, meet new people, get a good book an inspirational book or something, but yeah just keep your mind occupied and don't worry about him if he does something that is a deal breaker for the relationship than you're probably better off anyways, and if he wants you back he'll contact you and if not there is plenty more fish in the sea

First of all, it's easier to go from love to hate than to go from like to hate. When you allow yourself to become emotionally attached to someone and then the relationship fails, it's very painful and easy to just say you hate the person you loved. Now, the best way to get over someone is to get UNDER someone else :)

For me, it's rough for the first few months or until you find someone better that interests you. Then when you look back on it a year later, you either find the relationship to be silly in comparison to a new one, or you look back and are happy you learned from that person and spent time with them, but you normally won't want them back.
Time is the only answer.

You have had time to grieve - now it is time to go out with friends and socialize. No contact with your ex. We are given the opportunity to date to see who we are compatible with - we don't always get the love back that we give. You are special - you have a great future full of surprises, so don't waste anymore time fretting.

Keep yourself busy......... and don't jump right into another relationship! It's normal what your are going through but stay strong and focus your attention elsewhere. Learn from it and move on. Good Luck

It takes time but if I were you i'd think if the person non stop until you find someone else.

you can't. if he's still in your heart, he's still in your heart. and if he really meant it when he told you he loves you, he doesn't hate you now. he still loves you too. or you could look on the bright side and try to get things back to being good again.
hope i helped(:
