Getting over a breakup

I'm sure that this has been done to death before but anyway! At the beginning of the summer I broke up with my BF. We'd only been together for about 18 months but he was the first guy I'd dated after a long long period of being single. He instigated the split and even though I was aware things weren't altogether rosy I had hoped we could sort things out. After we split I still saw him around a lot as we share a lot of friends; we were friends before we got together. So I spent most of the summer thinking that maybe he would work out he'd make a mistake and we'd get a second chance. Now he has started seeing someone new and I'm driving myself crazy thinking about him and her together doing all the stuff we used to do! I know I need to let go and move on but somehow I can't. The logical part of me thinks why would I want to be with someone who clearly no longer wants to be with me, but my heart still wants him.

Oh dear Teenie. I bet that hurts. It may sound trite, but time and distance will help.
Can you avoid( temporarily) people and places where he and his new gf are?
It will get easier, but that probably doesn't help you now.

Sadly I think it's mostly just time. Is there a new hobby you've always wanted to try or something? Might give you a bit of respite from your thoughts if you're concentrating on something else?
