When I was getting my ex boyfriend back I made too many mistakes to count. I realize now how clingy and desperate I was to win him back and I guess on some level I believed that I could convince him that I was right for him and everything would be perfect again if I just kept telling him how important he was to me.
I really made a mistake on that one though. To get him back you will have to do 3 things that I’m going to talk about here.
Tip#1 – Avoid Contacting Him
I know that this first tip is going to probably be the most difficult to stick to but you need to understand that the main reason for any break up is because one person wants space away from the relationship. If you really do love him and want him back then give him some space and don’t crowd him initially at least. Respect his wishes and give him that space he’s looking for.
Your initial reaction to being dumped is likely to be a feeling of urgency to sort things out by talking to him. Make Sure you stay strong and combat this urge. Not contacting him for a few weeks will no doubt be a hard thing to do, but you have to give him the space he wants if you want a chance later on to get him back. It’s possible he could miss you and realize he made a mistake.
Tip #2 – Single Life Isn’t So Bad
You’ve followed the first tip and are not speaking to him now. But now of course you have a lot of spare time on your hands. You should try to enjoy this new single life again. Sign up for some classes or groups, spend time with friends you already have or make new ones. Try to do anything you can rather than sit at home and feel upset and depressed.
When you were a happy woman and had things going for you, this is no doubt when your boyfriend fell in love with you and not because you were unhappy and feeling miserable. The person he fell in love with is the one he wants back if anyone, so try to regain that warm attitude again. I recommend that you attempt to re-discover those things that you used to love doing on your own or with your friends.
Tip#3 – Speak to Him Again as the New You
You’ll probably find that you’re a much more upbeat person that your boyfriend will want to spend more time with–the woman that he originally fell for in the first place. Sooner or later, either you or him should end the “no contact” period and get the ball rolling again. In order to see how you are both doing you could perhaps meet for a coffee or something low-pressure along those lines.
It’s important not to get too uptight when you both do meet up. Try to avoid being too eager and intense when you see him. Keep things light and fun Try to make the conversation you have with him not too intense and heavy–tell jokes or have fun laughing about happy memories. It’s important you don’t get too heavy and discuss relationship issues unless he wants to discuss them.
Make Sure that your meeting is kept relatively short. Try to make the meeting no more than an hour. Then make your excuses and leave. You will leave him wanting more in this case if he has had fun with you. He will want more in this case. If you ask him to call you in a few days then he may well call you up and arrange a second date.
Make Sure that things are relaxed again between the two of you for a bit. Wait a few weeks, and if things seem a lot better and you are both getting along very well, then perhaps suggest to him that you both try again with your relationship.
These are the tips I used to get my ex boyfriend back and I suggest you follow them too.

Well, you and your girl had a tremendous head-to-head and now she wants to end the relationship. Now, you want to make amends and continue the relationship. If she was the one who decided to throw in the towel, you might have a bit of a problem. Following you'll find some steps you should take to make her a part of your life again.
Make Up With Ex Technique #1: Right off the bat, you need to agree that the separation is a good idea. Side with her, tell her that she's right and that you should split for awhile. Strange as this may sound, because ultimately you do want her, it is the first thing you need to do. She'll be somewhat surprised. That's good. Also, it will give her a clue that fighting isn't good and that you'd both benefit from some time apart.
Make Up With Ex Technique #2: Your next step is to make some distance between the two of you. The rule should be no calling and no emailing and no anything. She'll have an opportunity to see how things are without you, start missing you. And it will give both of you some time to yourselves to think about each other and your future. Of course, this will be tough on you, as well. But hold yourself back. This will give you some allowance to take the important next step.
Make Up With Ex Technique #3: You may not want to hear it, but to get your ex back you have to make yourself a better you. You don't have to get a facelift or entirely change, just make some improvements you've probably been thinking about anyway. You could go shopping for a wardrobe update. Join a gym. Get a different haircut. Look for a new position or promotion at work. You might ask your colleagues at work, or your friends and family, if there's something about you that they would like to see changed. Self-improvement will make your girlfriend understand that you are capable of change and understand that it's good for her, too.
Make Up With Ex Technique #4: At this point, it's crucial for you to improve your friendship with her, become friends once again. Don't go overboard. Plan to meet her for coffee. Make some sandwiches and ask her to meet you in the park. Your ex will probably be pleased to see you and look with interest at your new look or your new attitude. Be attentive. Listen to her. Let her guide the conversation. And, it's always a good idea to talk about some of the fun times you shared. As she becomes interested in you because of how you've changed, she should also start to feel some of the niceness you brought to her before.
Make Up With Ex Technique #5: After you've both begun to regard each other as friends, it's time to ask her out again. Insinuate that you want your relationship to continue, but that it needs some time to grow. By letting her know this, you allow her some breathing room and this will make her more amenable to patching things up, slowly. Sometimes much good comes from a little bad, your next time together may become so much better than before.
Nothing's perfect. If it were, we wouldn't be here. You both need to realize that and make some room for each other. As happens so often, once the ruffles are smoothed, the dress is beautiful. Troubles often strengthen relationships.

Getting dumped is a good reason to make your ex jealous so she'll want you back again.

Women are very paranoid about their relationships, that is a very important fact when you want to awaken that little imp called jealousy and get him on your side. Any observer of women will tell you that their greatest fear is losing your adoration, your love, even if they've just dumped you. We all know the cur who wanders the sexual landscape without a care and yet the ladies swoon over him. The brigand makes them swoon, but we decent types don't even get a nod.
Ignore her. That's your first move. Now, don't act like a jerk; employ some finesse.
Make Ex Girlfriend Jealous Tip #2 – Make Her Feel Like She's Missing Out
I know you want to tell her that she's a worm you wouldn't care to step on, that's just not going to work. Why make her mad? That's all words like that will do. And you'll come off as a creep. Neither of those are your goal.
What you need to do is make sure you leave a vacuum in her life. Don't involve yourself in her life at all. Display a lot of disinterest should she make an attempt to reach out. Be very cool. But don't push it to the point of nastiness. Now is the time to kick up your heels. Let all your mutual friends know what a great time you're having. You need to become the fun guy you once were.
Once your ex hears about your fun times like when she first met you, boredom, if nothing else, will start her to wondering what she may be missing. “I remember that this guy was lots of fun. Why did I let him go?” These thoughts could very well become a concern to her.

Great! You've got fun back in your life. You're being somewhat aloof when she's around. The next step is a big one. It's time to play on the jealousy heartstrings. She probably is wishing she were part of your crowd once more.
Finally, you need to start involving some women in your life. You don't really want to start dating again. In fact, you shouldn't if you have plans on getting your ex back. But a lunch or a coffee break with another girl every so often is acceptable.
Sooner or later word will get back to your ex and she'll start wondering. At this point, she's going to be wondering if she goofed by letting a fun and interesting guy go. She'll start asking herself if she should make a move to get you back.
If you've played this jealousy card right, she'll be a little beside herself wondering how to go about getting you back. Now, it's your turn. She snubbed you. But now the ball is in your court. You can decide what to do about the relationship. Whether or not you decide to take her back, do not, DO NOT, be a jerk about it. You must remain the decent guy. Don't be a bad guy, she's got feelings, too. Besides, wouldn't you rather be remembered as a nice guy instead of a creep?

Few things in a relationship are as difficult as apologizing to your girlfriend. Have you grown tired of the bickering and shouting, the arguing, punctuated by long periods of the silent treatment? What happened? Regardless of why she's upset with you, you're going to have to apologize if you want to get your relationship back on an even keel. The future of your relationship depends on the quality of your relationship. The quality of your relationship should be enhanced if you follow these guidelines.
Step 1: If it really is your fault, man up and take responsibility.
Let's face it – admitting you're wrong is never easy. Your only reasonable first step in making amends is to admit your mistake, if in fact you made one. What kind of a man makes excuses when he's at fault? Stand up and take responsibility! You've got to tell her what it was you did wrong, and then – and this is essential – you must promise never to do it again. The essential parts of an apology are admitting that you're wrong, and promising that it won't happen again.
Step 2: Don't make her reaction be the heart of another argument.
Don't expect that things will immediately smooth over and all will be forgiven and forgotten as soon as you apologize. Some girls are quicker to forgive and move on than others, and your mistake also will influence how long it takes. When a guy mans up and apologizes for something he does wrong, though, most girls worth keeping will appreciate it. Manning up means taking responsibility for the consequences of your actions as well. If she takes a long time to cool down and forgive you, you've got to accept that. She'll see it as further evidence of your sincerity and determination to make up for what you did. You cannot expect a successful apology if you don't follow through with this step.
Step 3: Time heals all wounds.
Pain and resentment in relationships often comes from the things we blurt out without thinking. If you're in a circumstance where something like this might happen, try to take a time-out to think things through and calm down. When you find yourself getting so angry that you're saying things without thinking about them, try to take some time out and cool off. You've got to let tempers cool – take a walk to let things cool off. Rational thinking is crucial in times like this.
Step 4: Pay special attention to her.
Don't just tell her you love her, do something, make a commitment of time and effort that makes the point with a bang! A nice weekend trip or picnic are more meaningful when you take care of ALL the preparations. You can get her gifts, of course, but don't let them take the place of some special gesture you make. Whatever gesture or gestures you make, though, must be sincere and reflect your heart. If you really want her to know how sorry you feel and that you want to be building your relationship together, gestures like these are excellent approaches. All in all, this is an excellent strategy to adopt when apologizing to your girlfriend.
Step 5: Let sleeping dogs lie.
The last step in the apology is to put it to rest – let the issue die and concentrate your efforts on building your relationship together. Your relationship is about the joy of being together today and in the future, not yesterday's mistakes. Past mistakes don't contribute to today's relationship – let them go. Life is tough enough that dragging up baggage from the past makes no sense. How can you enjoy life if you're constantly thinking about past mistakes?
Remember these steps whenever you need to apologize to your girlfriend. The human condition pretty much dictates that we all will make mistakes now and then. It's critical to the quality of our lives and relationships that we learn from our mistakes.
