Hi,

My main question is if I should delete all the pictures of my ex and me off instagram and Facebook. I never really thought about it until I read the thread "to the guys who want their ex back!" We broke up 11 months ago and the pictures are all the way down my profile because I have a bunch of new pictures that I took and have been tagged. I always thought we might get back together in the end but she has a boyfriend. I mean I have been hooking up with a bunch of other girls but I guess secretly I always had hope of getting back together. So back to the question after read that post I realized I'm not making myself that scarce, I'm hooking up with other girls and hot ones in public but I still have the pictures on my accounts. What do you think should they go? P.S. When we broke up she deleted me off everything and all our pictures also. Let me know what you think. I appreciate all your help

Do you think about the pictures a lot? Do they remind you of her?

If keeping them around is making moving forward more difficult I'd trash them... But it's been a year - if you're over her and you've both moved on then who cares?

My opinion...

So you broke up 11 months ago, she's deleted you off everything and all your pictures and she's moved on. But you secretly hope you guys would come back that's why you still have the pictures.

Well, I don't know why you guys broke up but it seems she was long over you before you even did. In this situation, I'd delete her off everything and her pictures. I'd also unfriend her if she's still friends on Facebook and move on with my life.

Does having those pics of her affect you in any negative way? As in, do you scroll your facebook and cry reminiscing?

No? -> Don't delete the pictures.
Yes? -> Delete the pictures.

The point of what J. Daniels was saying is to do whatever it is you need to do to make your transition easier & healthier. So if you have no feelings towards those pictures being there, then don't delete them.

How to keep a girl.

^ Exactly. I deleted absolutely every trace of my ex from 2010, I deleted every single picture, unfriended her and deleted everything (after a year of chasing her around and having her phone me from other guys cars etc to talk about how she's pregnant and the Dad can be one of 3 guys, but she might let me raise the kid with her) - this girl inspired me to better myself, which is where I heard about the no contact rule, pretending to be distant, and some pick up routines that I was too scared to use on her. I then got catfished lol, then I fucked a few more girls, then I eventually found a new girl (as in, developed my seduction skills and escaped the friendzone) and fell madly in "love" with her, then we split up... I made it back to pickup, got some great results, 19 months later I'm exclusive with a new girl, I've had other situations with girls, I deleted her from everything other than Twitter, and I kept the pictures on Facebook.

I'm not sure why I went into such detail, I think I'm just trying to say that I had strong oneitis with them both, and handled both breakups completely different apart from cutting all contact and moving on.

I think you're keeping the pictures because deleting them seems like something HUGE. Like you're signing a contract to agree that it's over or something. Wanna know the best thing to do? Delete everything as soon as you break up. Cut all traces of her existing from everything but your memory, unless the pictures wont bother you at all.
