i've been on an on/off relationship for almost 4 months and about a week ago, it's our last blow. i'm on this "I HATE HIM BUT I STILL LOVE HIM" stage, does opening the communication with him again helpful? i really want to move on with my life. does dating someone help me move on?

Sorry you post is too vague, but I get the feeling this guy is holding you back from where you want to go.

im sorry. i ended a relationship a week ago. i want to move on but i still got this feeling of I HATE HIM (because of the things we said to each other) but I STILL LOVE HIM. i don't think he is still holding me back from anything. my problem now is i don't know how to start moving on. does communicating with him again helpful? does dating someone else help me to move on?

Not sure but I would probably take a break from him and dating.

Your emotions will take time to cool off. I would not contact the guy again. Go hang with some friends for a while without the pressure of dating.
IMO

Contacting him is the last thing you need.

Don't talk to him, if you can avoid seeing him, then do so. You need to get used to a life without him in it so that you can move on.

And as for dating someone, I'd say it's a bit early. You might end up just using someone unconsciously as a rebound fling, and that's not right.

Allow yourself to cool off. There's no cure-all answer here, you just have to wait it out.
