When should the emotions die down?

I was going to be a smart mouth and say I get over guys fairly quickly, but then I realized I "broke up" with my best friend 5 months ago and I'm still not over it. I was closer to her than any guy so I guess it all depends.

ETA: Okay, I lied. I've been in love once and, even though I only cried for him once or twice, he did take a good couple years to "get over" so just take it in stride.

I guess it depends on what you're crying over. I only cried over my ex because I caught him with his hands all over another girl. I cried because I was effing pissed. It didn't take long for me to get over him, partly because I wasn't with him that long, plus he was an ass.
