It seems like it's hard to get over someone after a break up. I know there's plenty of guys out there. I just think of how my ex guy was a great kisser and great in bed and how I'm going to be in a jealous rage to think that he will lick some girls pewsy. Well, I'm going out to a club tomorrow night, so at least that will distract me. I should plenty of guys there.

When you fall for someone, all kinds of brain chemicals are released, and it is very much like being addicted to a narcotic. The effects persist for quite some time (weeks to as much as a couple of years). Some people are more susceptible to the effects of these hormones than others, and they will have a harder time (and perhaps take a longer time) to get over the effects. Plus, the more you think about the person, the more habitual those thoughts become, and breaking habits is hard (again, harder for some than others depending on how your brain responds to these hormones and neurotransmitters).

Yes, yes ... all this is very hard to deal with at first and maybe even for longer than expected but one day you won't even remember much about your ex at all. I can't even picture my exes face anymore. Or how he smelt. I'll tell you from personal experience, tit for tat doesn't work. I was hoping hooking up with someone else meant I was over my ex. It didn't. It didn't make me feel bad but after dating someone else I realized it was just a temporary distraction from my ex and nothing more.
