• More often than not, it is due to the one-sided nature of the relationship. You love them, but they don’t love you back. 
• You are ready to take the next step, but they are not.
• You want different things in life from your partner.
• They have done something unforgivable; for instance, if your partner has cheated on you, it is natural that you would want to forget them and move on.
• You love them, but you know they are toxic for you.

There can be myriad other reasons, but these are the most frequently reported ones. Letting go of someone you love takes time. The more you focus on not thinking about them, the more they reign your heart and mind. But with these proven tips, we will try to help you forget them as fast as possible. Once you let go of them, you will allow the right person in your life, and you will realize, once and for all, how your decision to move on was worth the effort and all the pain you had to bear.

#1 Accept The Reality Of The Situation

The first step when trying to forget someone you love is to accept the reality that you two are not together or you can’t be together with the person you fancy. You have been carrying some feelings for this person for a long time now, and it can’t be easy to accept that it isn’t an option anymore. We understand that. There’s no hurry; take it one day at a time. 

Don’t do it thinking that if you don’t speak to them for a while, your sweetheart will realize your value and come running. That cannot be your hidden agenda if you really want to move on with your life. More often than not, people don’t come back running. You will only be setting yourself up for disappointment if you think like that.

#2 Stop Stalking Them

There’s no place for any of us to act high and mighty here; we have all stalked our ex that we couldn’t stop love, and we have all lived to regret it. Before you reach the point where you face the gush of intense regret after you find yourself stalking your ex’s new lover, we want to stop you right here. 

You can move to more drastic measures like blocking your ex, removing them from your friend list, or even better, taking a break from social media for the time being. If that’s what it takes you to stop stalking them, do it. Seeing them enjoying their life as if nothing has happened while you spend each waking hour pining over them will ruin your mood, and rightfully so.

#3 No Meeting After Breakup

If you want to forget someone you love, you have to stop meeting them. You are not helping the situation by seeing them every once in a while. Severing the ties is the only way to move forward. And that means no calling them, no texting, no asking how they are handling things, and no more worrying about them. Take it for granted that they are doing okay without you, as they did before they met you. They are no longer your responsibility. Do you know whom you should be looking after? You!

#4 Don’t Hold On To Old Reminders

So you have a bag full of memories, literally a bag full of cards, gifts, and flowers your BAE gave you when you both loved each other. What do you do with them? It hurts every time you see them. It might sound dramatic, but burning them might make you feel better. If there are clothes in there, you might want to give them away to people who need them but can’t afford them.

If you are not ready to part with those memories, shove them at the back of your wardrobe, and don’t look at them till you are prepared to throw them away and move on to new and better things.

#5 Be With People Who Make You Happy

Friends come in very handy when you are going through a heartbreak. Step out of the dark hole of sadness and meet your friends. It feels like nothing can ever get better, but trust us when we say, soon you will get back to your old self. 

Hang out with the people who make you feel happy. Happy people influence happiness in others. These people will remind you that you are loved, maybe not by the person you wanted, but you are loved. In moments like these, it is essential that you realize that people love you.

#6 Forgive And Forget 

They have hurt you, regardless of their intentions, they have hurt you, and now you are left to pick up the pieces all alone. That amounts to some grudge. But you can’t forget someone you love if you continue to hold them responsible for the hardships you are facing. Forgive them, not for their sake, but for yours.

Put the last nail in the coffin by forgiving the person who is the reason you are reading this article today. But more importantly, forgive yourself for being naive enough not to see the red flags or not realize that the person you were falling for was not falling back for you.
