why can't I stop thinking about my ex boyfriend?
Me and my ex boyfriend went out for a little over 3 months. We met over the summer and hung out alot but when school started we tried to do the long-distance thing. Which didn't really work out. We both called it off because we knew that it wasn't working. Its been 2 years I gone out with a few guys since him but I can't stop thinking about him. Everyone says look at the bad time in the relationship, but it was all good times. He was my first real boyfriend, the first guy I tried to make something work. He moved on but I'm just stuck thinking about him. How can I get him off my mind?
Thank you all who answered soo nicely. I wish I can make everyone get the ten points for best answer because they were all great

You're still licking your wounds, because you found out that you're too young to sustain a long-distance relationship. That's really for older grownups who have more control over their mobility, and can make the trip to see one another if there's really some chemistry going on.
It hurts to lose contact with someone who makes you feel wanted, sure. I thought my world had come to an end when I messed up what little relationship was left with my high school girlfriend, but if I had managed to keep her, I would have missed a far greater Love of My Life (note capitalization) that came along a couple of years later. It can happen.
So get out there and start looking. Yeah, you have to kiss some frogs along the way, but one will turn into a prince.

First real boyfriends are hard to get over. I'm 54 and still sometimes think about mine - just memories of course. And those wonderful butterflies in my belly when I was young.
You could contact him and talk about it. It is risky but you will then be able to start putting the matter to bed for yourself if he is not interested. On the other hand, he could be thinking of you too!
You won't know unless you try. and if you don't want to try, and that is understandable, then chill - he'll be in your impressionable mind for quite some time and that is OK - he will drift off as someone else becomes really important to you.
Good memories are precious - you don't have to give them up unless they are causing your life harm.

Sometimes when you find someone you really love you never really stop loving them no matter what. Maybe you should try making contact with him again and keep in touch as friends but if its still long distance don't bother getting into a relationship. Maybe one day you both could end up together. Who knows?
If he doesn't seem interested just be strong and move on.

You still love him. If I was you, i'd try my best to close the gap and get really close to the ones i love. Plain white t's once sang
"A thousand miles seems pretty far
but they've got planes and trains and cars
i'd walk to you if i had no other way."
I believe in that quote. I may be 16 y/o but i always go for what i feel is right and what makes me happy. I don't care what anyone else says about Long distance relationships. I believe in it because my own parents had long distance relationship and so far have been married for 20 years. My Dad was living in NYC while my mom was in Manila, Philippines, THE OTHER SIDE OF THE GLOBE. They met in college but got separated in med school, my dad in NY and mom in Philippines. after about 4 years of med school they got married and live in the states to this day.
please try your best with this relationship. i hope everything works out for you. distance can knock someone down, but we can choose to get up and fight, and fight for love. follow your heart.

He was your very first boyfriend/relationship so you will always feel something for him. May not be love or hate .. but there is always that past you will share. Eventually you will find a lad that will subside your memory of him and your attention will be in the new boyfriends direction instead of the old.
