Winning Your Ex Boyfriend Back – 3 Essential Things You Must Do
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.
