Getting Your Ex Boyfriend Back by LEvuls(m): 2:43pm On Nov 26, 2014
Consider why you two
broke up in the first
place. Do you just want him
back just because you can't
accept the idea that he does
not want you? Or maybe you
just like the idea of having a
boyfriend? Or you really do
like him? Were you (or both of
you) abusive, controlling,
mean, or possessive? Did one
(or both) cheat? If any of
these things happened, you'll
want to think long and hard
about going back to that kind
of relationship, but if you do
still want him back, try the
following steps.
Be the person he fell in
love with. He was
attracted to you because he
felt good with you, and you
were fulfilling his emotional
needs. How have you
changed? Correct bad habits
and mistakes, if any. Be
positive around him. Laugh
and smile. Always stay positive
to feel good about yourself
and make friends around you
feel good because of you.
Don't even look like
you're stuck in the past.
Let him know you're
moving on by going to
the library class, your
locker, and the gym,
wearing clothes different
from what you normally
would. This will definitely
make him think you are
moving on with your life.
Prepare your first
words. The first thing
that you say to your ex
boyfriend is extremely
important. If you say the
wrong words, you will lose the
chance to get your ex
boyfriend back. Do not react
to his request for a breakup by
crying and begging him to
come back. This will not work.
You are just going to make
him feel more irritated with
you and drive him further
away. You need to understand
that even though he initiates
the breakup, there is a good
chance that he still harbors
good feelings for you.
Use the past to your
advantage. If he
complimented a particular
outfit, wear it again. Or, share
a lighthearted memory with
him. If you have a chance to
meet him, do it in a familiar
place you used to enjoy good
times together.
Listen carefully to his
choice of words. He may
say something unusual. If he
ever uses an unusual or
uncommon word, use it also
in your conversations. This
subconsciously tells him that
he and you have a common
way of talking.
Find out if your ex still
cares. Before you start
doing anything to try and win
him back, you need to know
for sure that he still cares. If
he no longer cares, and you
are still desperate to get him
back, then you need to think
of the subtlest ways to get him
start to care again, even just a
little. Knowing that your ex still
cares about you is the most
important sign that things can
still be mended. You should
not start on anything before
you are sure that your ex still
has some amount of concern
when it comes to you.
Casually ask if he'd like
to do something non-
committal, like having a
drink with friends, playing
miniature golf, playing
tennis, etc. Something
friends or first dates can do.
And whatever it is, keep it fun.
Leave out the serious talks for
the time being. You'll have
plenty of time to talk about
that later. That is very
intimidating to a lot of guys.
However, if he initiates it,
follow his lead. But don't go
heavy.
Let him know you have
been thinking about
him. Remind him of that one
time the two of you went to
dinner at that great new
restaurant and had a fabulous
time? Leave him a short email
telling him you ate there
recently and thought of him.
And, by the way, ask how he is
doing. This is a non-
threatening way to have a light
conversation, which would not
make him uncomfortable.
Invite him to talk to
you. Express regret that
things didn't work out
between the two of you. Ask
him if you can talk about it
now that you have some
perspective.
Pay some attention
to your appearance if
you have been neglecting
yourself in that department.
Get your nails and hair done.
Take a nice warm bubble bath,
and pick out a nice outfit.
Stop caring about
how people perceive
you. The fact is, it really
doesn't matter. It's impossible
to be yourself when you're
caught up in wondering "Do
they think I'm funny? Does
she think I'm fat? Do they
think I'm stupid?" To be
yourself, you've got to let go of
these concerns and just let
your behavior flow, with only
your consideration of others
as a filter --—not their
consideration of you.
If you just broke up
(less than a couple of
weeks) completely ignore
him. He will call you if he still
likes you. If he doesn't, then
nothing you say or do will
change that. (This works
unless you are dealing with a
guy who thinks that if you
don't care enough to try to
save the relationship.
Sometimes, ignoring him
makes him feel that you are
perfectly fine without him and
are moving on, which is the
exact opposite of what you
want when you are trying to
get back with your man. Be
sure you know exactly what
type of guy you are dealing
with when trying to get him
back.)
Remember, no
situation is hopeless.
Every day, couples get back
together regardless of the
situation.
Find other things to
focus on. If you focus
your attention on a new
activity, you will have less time
to miss your ex-boyfriend. You
will feel stronger and more in
control of your life. If you are
still in contact, your ex
boyfriend will notice that you
have "moved on" and
hopefully will start having
second thoughts.
