Many times I’ve heard women asking around on how to forget someone you still really like, and once they get their answers they would then go on and ask another question i.e. “What is the real timeline and how long does it really take to forget someone you still really like?”
No matter how many times they are told that time will heal anything, they still want to give their brain a ‘definite date’ as so that they will have hope on when this agony really will end.
As I have touched on earlier in my other article, the only time you will want to forget someone you still really like is the time when you just broke up with someone, or worse, when that person who you thought was special just decided to leave without a trace by disappearing from the face of the earth – in the hope that you won’t notice…yeah right. These situations make it really hard for you to move on and for your brain to really believe that it’s over just because there is never a real confirmation that the whole thing is over.
Of course, I hope you realise that no matter what, there will be some pain involved. What I mean by this is that no matter how quickly you manage to get over this person there will still be some pain involved in forgetting him. It is impossible to completely go amnesia on the memories that you once had.
But let’s take it from many women from all over the world on how long it takes to actually forget that person. The first few days are the most
painful and believe it or not you will have to just cope with it. Sleep it off, eat many pints of ice creams, scream, go to the gym and join the body combat class just to be able to punch someone, do all these things or anything that you want to do just to fill up your time. You will feel the hurt during these first few days no matter what.
By the end of the first week, you should be feeling a little better, although at times you will feel that little pang of feeling that reminds you of the good times you once had with that person. The worse thing is that you no longer hate them for whatever they did, there are only good memories that you have in your mind. You no longer hurt that much, but you will be quite sad – for the loss.
Believe it or not, it’ll be two weeks after the whole break up thing, time will feel so slow, seems like the earth stops revolving around and there will be that time when you look at the calendar date saying “Oh My God it’s only been two weeks … feels like forever!” By this time, it will be easier to go through the days even though yes, you will still feel bits and pieces of the heartbroken feeling.
Finally, it will be around 60 days (two months) after the breakup, this is when you finally feel like you can move on with your life without much of the break up affecting you. This is when you start to feel like it is possible to forget someone that you still really like (if you still really like him or her at this stage).
But having said all that, there are lots of things you can do to ease the pain during the first two months, in fact I have seen one really good information on the web on How to Forget Your Ex in just 24 Hours, VERY interesting. Check it out for yourself!
I really recommend it because reading these sort of materials will definitely take your mind off things even though you may not completely forget him like amnesia just yet. Get it here, it’s worth it.
After reading (and watching) the famously-titled book and movie few times, it comes to my realization what the authors forgot to include when someone’s not that into you. Surviving from my last failed romance, I had gathered some facts when a guy’s slowly not into you. Here’s some tasty fillings to digest when your other half is no longer interested in the relationship:
1. he’s keeping in touch with his ex on regular basis
2. he flirts around with your friend’s gf.. right under your nose
3. he doesn’t add you on facebook (this is cheeky but true)
4. he put his profile up on online dating sites (and lied to you when you confront it)
6. his main priority is him, his mates, then you or us
5. he starts spending less time with you on email/text/phone calls
6. he’s becoming more secretive – doesn’t tell you where he goes, how his day was, etc
7. his new nicknames are mr grumpy, mr impatient, mr critical, mr not-so-fantastic-in-bed
8. he doesn’t tell jokes or tease you anymore, ie there’s no more fun side of him
9. he took back his house key (that he gave it to you previously)
10. he becomes more suspicious of you
11. he doesn’t kiss you before going to bed
12. he stops buying gifts or flowers for you
13. he only calls you when he needs company
14. he told you he’s working late.. all the time
15. he no longer includes you on his social activities with his mates, workmates etc
16. in fact, he starts hanging out with the boys more
17. he doesn’t intend to take you on any future holidays he might have
18. he doesn’t plan for romantic gestures (this includes dinner/sex/weekend-aways)
19. he no longer compliments your sexy outfit/body parts/anything that makes you attractive to him in the first place
20. he reassures you over and over that he loves you, but his actions say differently
21. he’s hot and cold towards you, ie being nice and nasty whenever he wants to
22. he avoids the (serious) relationships talks
23. he blames you for whatever reason it is
24. he doesn’t do what he says he will
25. he cancels on your plans at last minute, and always comes up with the best excuses
26. he treats you like a doormat, or worse.. a maid
27. he doesn’t say the “L” word anymore – because he can’t
AND finally…….
28. he didn’t try to fight for you when you said it’s over
