Sound fine to me.
Improved: I haven't talked to her since / that day/ that moment / then.

Use the "since" version with the present perfect.

Chingy · Answer

Generally, the prepostion that means "from that time" is since ---since that day

We don't say 'from that day', but we can say 'from then on' or 'from now on'

Chingy we can say 'from then on' or 'from now on'

Hi

So it would be OK to say: I haven't talked to her since that day OR Since that day I haven't talked to her OR From then on (as Chingy suggested), I haven't talked to her.

Thanks

You'll probably hear this, but I would prefer "From that day on, I never talked to her again."

That also implies that any possibility of talking to her now is gone -- she is dead, she has moved, whatever.

"For then on" sounds future-y to me. You just have to be nice to her until the plane lands. From then on, you never have to talk to her again.
