Ever dated someone else, even for months, but still you miss your ex and want them?

knowing you have to move on with your life and have no choice, so you really try and lose contact with the ex. move on, date someone else for a year and really and consciously try, but still miss your ex and wish you were with them? it sucks

I know plenty of people that have this problem, but I think it is because they never truely let go and worked on themselves. I hope this isn't me in a few months, it has been about a month since I got dumped, I feel way better today than I did then. I still miss her, but I think I am going to get over her, today at least it feels that way.

 

When you try and contact your ex and she doesn't care about you anymore, and you know this, there is no point but to move on, and try to find love, I believe there is another person out there for everyone, we just don't feel that way because our hearts are caught up at the moment.

Nope, never had that problem, mainly IMO due to being single and celibate for at least six months before starting to date again. In fact, I can't recall ever missing any woman I've had a relationship with, gave it a shot and failed. We tried. It didn't work. We both own that. Move on.

Yep I have the same problem its just the one ex which was the only gf that I have really fallen in love with can't find anyone who can match her.....

It's difficult and some say you shouldn't date until you are over your ex but really...how long should one have to wait? Even after months of being by yourself and then getting into therapy because you're STILL not over them...at some point you have to start dating again.

 

I guess it depends on how much you miss your ex. If you're still very much pining away for them, cry at the thought of them, etc...then you're still too involved and it's not really fair to the new person you are with. But I know what you mean. At some point you just have to say Eff it and date.
