Quite a few women have asked me “How to forget someone you still really like”? This question normally related to some one who they have just broken up with, or someone who they have just started seeing whom magically disappears after couple of dates. It does not matter what reason or why he left, obviously things weren’t working out between them.

This article outlines simple steps on how to forget someone you still really like whatever your situation is. It doesn’t matter whether you are the dumper or the dumpee because generally both parties will feel hurt to some extent when a relationship doesn’t work out.

Here are some steps you can do:

1. Cry out everything you can cry out. It is normal and good to cry. You don’t even have to feel embarassed because as long as you do it behind closed doors, no one will know.

2. Be as busy as possible whether you prefer some busy ‘me time’ or busy partying with your party friends. As long as you can take your mind off him, it works.

3. Call your trustworthy friends (or your party friends) and go out with them. The company of some familiar faces will be good for your emotional health. If you want, let out some of your hurt to your trustworthy friends.

4. Practice the ‘No Contact’ rule. Avoid him like a plaque because your heart can’t exactly handle it right now. And no, you cannot be friends.

5. Go to social events and invitations to meet new faces. Basically, after one day you should really force yourself out of your bed, get changed and go out. This is after all the only way to realise that there are other men who have amazing smile and whom you find attractive.

6. Avoid watching romantic movies and listening to romantic love songs. Oh, don’t start dedicating songs to your ex on the radio either because it won’t work.

7. Don’t forget to take care of yourself and keep yourself clean no matter how lazy you are to step into the shower.

8. Finally, the never-fail answer to how to forget someone you still really like is to give it time. Time heals everything no matter how hard it is right now.
