smartacus...Simple, you simply close that box off in your mind, and get on with your life. Taking the attitude that things happen for a reason also helps. As does being arrogant enough to assume that it was her loss for not being smart enough to pursue the opportunity. Finally, don't revisit any places that make you think of her if possible.

Write music. That's what Beethoven did.

Exercise (of the intense cardio variety), be social, stay away from alcohol. And if you got the time and money, take a couple week trip to Bangkok. After that you'll be like "Who...?"

The best way...tough question. There's some good ideas above, some of which I could suggest next time I palm off unwanted attention.

Take a week, if you can take that week off from work. Get stupid drunk every night with friends, try not to be alone. After that week, sober back up and look for someone new. That is the advice my dearly sainted father gave me. He also added, there is no person worth giving up on life over. I always thought pops was wise.

Mine or yours? It was yours or mine until I met you.

Don't bathe for a week. Or let yourself go. That ought to do it.

Love/relationships is a project. Map it out: manage risks, exit plans, contingencies, other investments of time. The folks that concentrate fully on another lose their sense of themselves, and then when they realise they've failed, they also realise they've lost so much time they could have spent on themselves. Only when you develop yourself as a project, then others will be attracted, and YOU will be the one shunning someone's affections. Try it.

Keep your pride,show some dignity and move on. Um... isn't that obvious ? Or is the question advocating stalking ?

Suffer. And then slowly begin to examine your suffering and the self-dialogue that comes with it.

Then, simply change the topic of conversation.
