Hopefully not too stupid a question, but we've all been told this at some point for one reason or another. We say it to each other here, our friends say it to us, we say it to ourselves, but it's definitely easier to say than to do. How do you even do it?
To use my own experience as an example; had an amazing time with this girl until she suddenly flipped in the space of a few hours. "I can't wait to see you again" turned into "I can't do this, it's too overwhelming" over a lunch break. That was 3 months ago and as much as I want to move on, it's been really tough. I've been trying to keep myself busy and distracted, but those quiet moments are still bombarded with thoughts of her; the good times I miss and the final conversations I wish never happened. I took a break from dating and came back a few weeks ago, but there's so much that keeps reminding me of her; the things we did or talked about doing together, the conversations we had, the places we went to. She was fast becoming someone special, but we didn't date long enough for me to find her flaws, and now every profile I swipe on seems to pale in comparison.
I want to move on, and I'm really trying to, but I just don't know how to do that in practical terms. So how exactly do you move on?
