girl help: how do i get over a girl when every woman i meet reminds me of her. - Help.com

Forget about it until you decide that you want to get over her.

You need closure. Are there thing you need for her to know?

this is cool, I just wrote a similar reply, so I’ll just copy-paste, lol

if u r missing sum1 who u were with for a SHORT period of time, but were doing just great and then something happened, like sum1 traveling or sumthing, then it’s just the feeling of ‘wondering’ or ‘what if’ we’d had more time together.. that’s not love cause u didn’t have real time to fully get to know the person and the gaps in ur mind are probably filled with fantasy..

if u live so far away from each other, and if it’s been a while since u haven’t talked, then probably she has moved on, with a new boyfriend and everything, you can contact her of course.. but maybe you’ll just get hurt when you find out that she is living a normal life.. it’s up to you.

true

if you were not meant to be without her, then you are not meant to forget her. I give you the quote of the late Jeff Buckley, “Lonely is the room, the bed is made, the open window lets the rain in
Burning in the corner is the only one who dreams he had you with him
My body turns and yearns for a sleep that will never come

It’s never over, my kingdom for a kiss upon her shoulder
It’s never over, all my riches for her smiles when i slept so soft against her
It’s never over, all my blood for the sweetness of her laughter
It’s never over, she’s the tear that hangs inside my soul forever”

I know. I am such a smooze. As I said, maybe you aren’t meant to be without her.
Dating others will be hard if this is the case. If you feel that you have to really end your feelings, approach her, be in her presence. Sometimes it is the reality of the moment that defines what you are actually feeling. I had to find out the hard way. Imagine meeting the lover in your dreams, have a few months of utter enjoyment, then 9-11 takes them from you. Military that is, and they are just a twelve hour phone call away for three years. I found out that in being beside him after all that time of letters, email and phone calls, that I could never love someone so deep, than I did when I finally held him again.

I hope this longggggg note has helped in some way.
