It looks like you he is pining for her after the break up. You could help him analyze why they had this fallout? If it his fault, then he needs to apologize and see if she is amenable. If not he may have done something quite unforgiveable. In any relationship there must be love, respect, commitment, honesty, trust, and freedom in the romantic scene. Now whatever went wrong and if it cannot be helped, then he has to leave all this far behind. Good friends like you can make a huge difference by distracting him, making him feel worthy, lovable and above all to not become too negative and become suicidal. If you see that he has serious problems about the break up please take him to a counselor and make sure that he follows that person?s advice. Help him remove all associations of hers: gifts, notes, letters, cards, emails, and any reminders to get her out of his system, not mind. Help him keep the good memories but don?t indulge in them. Get back to his old pals and revive those contacts. Normally when we get a girl friend, we drop all our friends and live exclusively with her. This is not a good thing to do, generally. So do help him to get back with them and get into good social circles. They will help him get over her. Do not talk ill or malign his ex to his friends or to him, whatever was the reason. That is unfortunately a very bad habit many of us have ? we must still respect her reputation and treat her with dignity. Since this beak up is so serious for him, do meet up with a counselor and talk about his feelings, openly. This is not the end of the world and she is not the only girl in life. He will find another but teach him not to repeat the mistakes that led to the breakup. This time he needs to choose wisely and behave like a true gentleman. You must help him do that and improve his self-belief.
