Give it few more months, they will be pivotal.
To be honest, to answer your question, I got over people easily in my dating days (and still do when it comes to friendships). It's a major flaw of mine, I believe. I am capable to adjust to living a life without people I love or like pretty fast. That's why I never went back and forth with the same man. Usually a break-up with a person would mean the end of story for me, next, been-there/done-that kind of thing.

Was next to an obese sleeping woman on a plane once, must have taken me a full two minutes to get over her to get to the bathroom.

I never get over anyone, I can remember a girl who asked to sit by me in a crowded cafeteria, she was from out town, we had a nice chat, shared lunch, loved her Philly accent, I think about her from time to time. That was 30 years ago.

I don't know if I can answer this one, because I have trouble drawing the distinct line between getting over "losing the ex" versus getting over "losing the life that I had wanted with the ex". Do I still cry over the few men that I gave so much of my time and energy to? No.. but I still cry over so much of my heart that I gave, in return for dreams that never came true.

Does that make sense?

Well, it was four or five years before I became serious again with someone. I had "gotten over" that guy, whom I grew up with, but I had sworn off relationships, period. The new guy charmed me out of that. We've been together 17 years. To anyone who's wondering, you can get through anything.

This is a very good point. Yes, it makes much sense.
