heya i need help getting over my ex...

i just split up with my boyfriend and we're gonna stay good mates but i cant even start to get over him. i think i loved him but it wasn't gonna work. i work with him and so i have to see him regularly which doesnt help me get over him easily.

i really wanna get over him as painlessly as possible but everytime i see him, or even see his number in my phone i think about what used to be. there are guys at work who i think are really cute but i cant think they're more than cute cos i still have my ex in my head!

how can i get these thoughts out of my head? i dont wanna cut my ex out of my life cos he's still a great mate and dont wanna loose that, just dont wanna fancy him anymore. anyone with any tips pleeeease let me know.

camille agony auntBeing professional at work and socialising with him are entirely different things. You can cut him out of your personal life to a large degree even if not your working life.

camille agony auntMy personal opinion is you can't start to get over him until you DO cut him out of your life. He's your ex for a reason and I don't see the relevance of whether you fancy him as you've admitted you think you love him and are not over him.

Treasure the good memories but remind yourself of why you're not together. It may be the habit of dating him you miss, not actually him. If it's the fact you really want to be friends, give yourself a lot of space to get over the relationship and then re-assess if you think a friendship could work, but that's going to take a while and he may not be happy with that.
