Breaking up is hard to do, but moving on is even harder. After you break up with someone, you have to get over them before you can love again. When you get over someone, you stop having feelings for them.

Sometimes, you never get to have the person you loved. This can make getting over them even harder. When you love someone who doesn’t love you back, eventually you have to try to get over them and find someone else to love.

After months and years of trying to get Ella to love him, it seems that Mason has finally gotten over her. He has a new girlfriend. But Ella isn’t so sure that Mason has really gotten over her. Find out why.

分手是困难的,然而忘记更加困难。与某人分手后,在你可以再爱之前,你必须要忘记此人。当你忘记一个人时,意味着你不再爱此人。
有时,你会永远得不到所爱之人。这使得忘记更加困难。当你爱上一个不爱你的人时,你最终要尝试忘记此人,然后寻找其他人相爱。
长久以来,梅森曾尝试让艾拉爱上自己,但一番努力过后,他最后似乎忘记了她。他有了一位新女友。但是艾拉并不太确信梅森真的忘记了自己。请找出原因。

Marni:  OK, guys, for this next project, I think we’re gonna bring in Mason. I mean, I know he’s just the janitor, but he’s had a lot of good ideas lately.

Dale:  Yeah, you know, that’s true. Ever since he’s been dating that new girl, guy’s been on fire.

Marni:  Dale, you are the one who’s on fire. I mean, look at you. You look amazing.

Dale:  Thanks. You know, ever since I faced the music, I really got over my weight problem.

Ella:  Back to the topic at hand. Marni, we cannot have Mason on this project. No, absolutely not.

Marni:  Why not?

Ella:  Because he’s in love with me!

Marni:  Uh, actually, I think he’s over you.

Ella:  What? What do you mean he’s gotten over me? When did he get over me? How did he get over me?

Dale:  Um, the hottie?

Ella:  There are so many hot people in the world. One person can’t do that. I mean, we don’t even know if she really exists.

Marni:  Ella, I’m sure it’s very hard for you to imagine men getting over you because you’re so beautiful, and you’re so charming. But I think in this case it was very hard for him, but I think he finally just let go.

Dale:  And you know, the best way to get over somebody is to date somebody else.

Ella:  Those are both great theories, guys. But this is probably just another ploy. You know, to pretend to get over me to get with me.

Marni:  She does have a point there.

Dale:  You know, Mason has done some crazy things to get with Ella…

Marni:  OK. Mason is off the project, but I really do think he’s over you.

Ella:  Really?

Dale:  Yeah.

Oh, I’m face a dilemma.  Love, what can be more precious in our life? Love to God, to children, to parents, to friends, to a man. People often confuse falling in love with a real love that can never end. Will you stop loving your child or your Mom? Never. What I call LOVE.


 As for love to a man, I can confess that I haven’t  loved many men. No  doubt I was in love and I stopped it, so it was not love. I loved truly only one man in my life. He was my husband who passed away. He left me here all alone. It was a big tragedy for me. Six years have passed since that  moment.  He is still in my heart and will be forever because our love was  romantic,  and he loved me as much as a man was able to love. I heard  words “I love you” every time we were together. I thank God for a chance to love and to be loved. But I can’t feel a real love  with passion and care to a man who is not with me anymore. I feel him far away in the distant place which I will be sooner or later  too. Then we will meet.


At present I meet a man who loves me crazily and I feel it. What a lucky I am! Sometimes it’s better to be loved than to love and suffer.


I belive that love is a fire that burns your wings in any case if you want it or not. If your wings are still with you, you have never loved.


We should love and fall out of love, feel delight and disappointment, be abandoned and do the same with a person we stopped loving in order …not to understand anything in love.:)


With love,


Irene

I believe that the Foreign Legion  is the right choice for men who  could not got over a relationship.  Five year as a  legionary is the cure to this disease.. Embarassed

For me im still not get over with him and i’m trying my very best to forget him but it’s so darn hard ..i dont want to fall inlove so im giving distance between us but still he’s the only one i see.. i really like him a lot ..and i wanted tell him what i am feeling but i dont like to, coz he’s like one moment he is there and one moment he’s gone. it is really hard to fall inlove and like the song “nobody supposed to be here” one of lyrics says ” Love can make you do some crazy things” .

I used to have a girlfriend, but we decided to end relationship when we found that we were not belong to each other. Although I knew that we were over, but I couldn’t help to have feelings for her sometimes. It took me two years to get over her; however, I has really gotten over her completely when I realize that she is not the one whom I am looking for, and I convince myself that I deserve to be loved by someone better than her. lol. To me, finding someone to be with in order to forget someone is not fair for a new partner. Are they so sure that the new love is real love? or just someone to rely on to get over someone else? I would rather free myself before I involve in a new relationship.

life is short! we have to move on even if we have to face the music like, got dumpt by your bf or gf or like these kinda stuff. cause moving on means growing up and looking for the right and signicant other who’s really worth spending the rest of life with him or her. you gonna figure out there’re still so many friend who are alway there for you. they’re the ones who mean lots to you! enjoy life, anyway!

I totally agree with Dale, the perfect way to get over someone is to love somebody else, because we all need love so every time you hear a romantic story or kind of this stuff you find yourself automatically remember the person that you have to get over and that definitely hurtFrown

The best curer to get over someone must be the time.Girls like being surrounded by boys who are attracted by them but give little response to their love.So,the boys will get tired of the unrequited love and go to find another one to love.

Ryo, I can see a face, but not like the face you drew.



I never had “romantic feelings for someone”, just “friend feelings”, so I never had to get over with someone, and I’m glad for that ‘cause it’s hard!

It’s easy to get someone if you aren’t really inlove with him /her, but if you do, that will be another case, I’ve never been so inlove with a girl,so I’ve not done that experience yet. I think I’ll be agree if to get over with someone is by dating someone else, but I also guess we need a little time to get started new relationship with someone. Make sure yourself is ready.

Intresting lesson,you guys even bring “hottie” and “face the music” back to help us keep them in mind more deeply :)
getting over someone who you loved once is not that easy, you gotta move on. Like it or not ,you have to deal with it on your own.
