    ^?

    I'm still waiting for it all to go away and was wondering how long it 'normally' takes you to stop thinking about him/her in that way.?

    with my ex it took me a rediculously long time,like 6/7 months before i was completely over him. But then again he was my first boyfriend,first kiss,first everything else,so that probably added more time than is normal i guess...

    There can be a lot of variation. My brother was with his first proper girlfriend for over 2 years, and when they broke up, he was definately still in the dumps a year later. But that's a lot longer than would be average for a less significant relationship.

    It took me months to get over my crush, and then it was gone in about a second.

    It depends on people and on the relationship I guess.
    I haven't been in that situation for a long time, it took me a year to be over the guy I was with before my husband.
    And it took me 3 years to heal from my first crush, but thing were slightly different since we were not a couple but friends and that he died a very brutal way.
    It took 2 years for my best friend to recover from her six years of relationship after her boyfriend had dumped her.
    I wish you all the best, take care, Eleanor

    It took me a good year to get over a crush I had.. It varies from person to person and from situation to situation.

    I´m still not over my crush I´ve had for over five years now (I know eleven seems a little young, but it´s true). The last two years I´ve been trying really hard, I don´t think I´ll ever be over her.

    Me personally my first BF was about 10 months ago. He turned out to be a complete ass but every single time a certain song comes on my ipod I cant help but think of all the good moments we had. I'm over him but ask for jus thinking back and getting a little sad, im not sure if that ever truly goes away

    I seem to be getting better and better at getting over people, last crush was 3 days. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:
    However, I do wish I did have someone to get more emotionally attached to. :frowning2: But someone will come along someday. :slight_smile:

    Hmm. Maybe a couple months if I really liked the person and got screwed over. If I liked the person and we both decided it was time for us to stop seeing each other then a couple of days. And if I never got the chance to explore the crush then maybe a few months.

    I get over them all eventually though I think.

    It takes me about 3 months to get over most of my crushes. Though, there are usually some residual feelings that never go away. Then again, crushes are so frequent I'm never really free from them!

    it Depends on the crush how strong or weak it is. My last major crush was my senior year this guy was amazing. It seems like these days every time i have a crush on a guy something turns me off about them

    I never been in a relationship i had a friend i messed with for a few years on and off and when it became off for good i got over it quickly i figured we both had to move on our lives he was my first for everything even virginity.


    A rant i just can not stand people who happiness is from being in a relationship and when they break up with someone they get so depressed they shut down the whole world from them. And they get in those back to back relationships they don't take a breather its like they have to be in a relationship at all times to be happy
