like a year lol.
Whoopsies I posted an answer but it wasn't anonymous so I deleted it :colondollar:

It took me four months to forget about a guy who didn't have the same feelings towards me. I'm a bit of an old-fashioned girl who believes that the guy should tell a girl he likes her FIRST. But when I met him, after one year I was like "f*** it, I'll tell him my feelings." All he did afterwards was play silly mind games, call me rude names and ignore me for weeks on end. So I decided bye bye to all the tears and nights where I lost sleep over him. Couldn't be more relieved tbh. I'll wait when the right guy comes along.
3 months..

Took me a year to get over my first boyfriend when I was 15 (we were together for 17months) - because I thought at the time he was the only guy I'll ever love. Turned out, I was just very childish and didn't want to let go because I used to read a lot of romantic stories.

About two years. Was my first love though.

It would probably have been less but she kept initiating contact and it made it difficult to forget about her.
6 months, having Facebook didn't help.

Awww :tongue:

Anyway I'm still in the process.

Ok so I started speaking to this Irish man on skype last Aug
& early this April he told me he's a Somalian Muslim from Sheffield :sad:

So now I is heartbroken! :nooo: lol

And we had a 2mth break last fall and I cried everyday and listened to the Script :colonhash: There's this song called Before the Worst that they did, and I used marker to write a verse of the lyrics on my bedroom wall b/c it reminded me of the guy so much. That's when I knew I was depressed n losing it :facepalm2:

well we were 'together' for 2ish years but she said it was too difficult for her that we don't live near each other sort of thing :tongue: I'm still friends with her though.

and lol you don't have a very good track record with internet relationships haha. I've not been catfished yet.
2 years
As I haven't had a girlfriend or any kind of love interest, it would be an unrequited love I had about 2 years back. After months of self harming and a botched suicide attempt, I got out of the bull**** idealisation I had of her and just realised she actually wasn't that great and moved on with my life.
A long time, I've liked her since I was like 15, now 18, and as much as I've tried moving on, just as I'm about to something will happen and I'm back to square one.
Took about a year to get over him, and 2 years and counting to get over what he did to me (abusive guy).
a year and a half
