Can't get over her - Random

I went out with a girl almost 3 years ago for 6 months (I'm 20 now), and for some bizarre reason, I can't seem to get over her. I have had numerous girlfriends, slept with my fair share of people, but there is this one girl who I can't seem to get out of my head. It's not the typical 'I think of her every waking moment' kind of crap, it's more, everytime I see her (which is infrequently), I wish we were together, and just at random points I'll start thinking about her, wondering what shes up to and what things would be like if we never split up.

I see plenty of my exes around and about, and while I still find them attractive I don't feel anything for them in that way except this one girl, this includes girls I split up with, and girls that split up with me.

I guess what I'm really asking for is for ways to kind of get past this, just good ways to stop thinking about her (which to be honest, doesn't happen all that often, but when it does I tend to dwell on it), and how to act towards her when I see her and stuff. She has been with her new boyfriend for 2 years now, so any chance of a reconciliation is out of the question, at least at the present time, anyway. I have no contact details for her like phone or email, although I still know where she lives and her friends etc.

You could ask yourself what it is about her in particular that you miss. Usually it's a trait that you'll decide can be found in other women and then you're alright. But if it was something about her specifically, oh dear.
