Is it normal i still think about him?

At 23, I finally had my first relationship. We dated for 2 months, made it official last January and broke up at the end of April. So we dated maybe 6 months. The break up was pretty mutual, we both knew it wasn't working. I didn't speak to him for 4 months but now we're back in touch.

We're civil/friendly when we see each other but I'm having an extremely hard time trying to get over him. I think about him all the time and sometimes I even miss him. I'm not sure if it's because it was my first relationship or if I'm just crazy and obsessive. Like I said, we only dated for 6 months and we've been broken up for 8. Is it normal for me to be thinking about him all the time? and wanting to talk to him? even though the relationship was so short and I know he wasn't right for me?

    Sure, it's perfectly normal until you replace him with a new guy.
    Do not make the mistake of thinking that if you got back together with this guy, that it would be any better than it was before. Forget him, you are just lonely. Go find someone else.

    I am in a relationship now but often think about my ex, I was with her for only a year but I often think about her and I do miss her, I think it's just natural progression as we do think about those we did love because they were important to us. If it was your first serious relationship that would make it harder for you to move on. In time you will learn thay people come and go, if you love someone at the moment then hold on to them and try your best to make it last if they truly are right for you. Don't live in the the past, if you broke up then it is probably indicative that there was something wrong. Good luck :)

    Another question that gets asked every second.

    By this point so many of these people have asked it's 100 percent normal.

    It must be because it was your first relationship. It could be just inexperience in relationships.
