Winning Your Ex Back

By Xavier Bach

Finding your soul mate is the dream of nearly everyone. Regrettably, when you "find" him or her, and you break up, it can be devastating, leaving you bewildered, confused and angry. Relationships are fragile; when they end, it can be stressful and depressing, particularly when you're convinced he or she is the one.

However, your break up may have been a blessing in disguise. In other words, your assessment of your so-called soul mate may have been wrong all along; however, that is for you to settle. But if you are sure he or she is "the one", then here are a few timed-tested steps to drive them back to you.

The first thing you don't want to do is to give your ex the impression that you are desperate...desperation breeds contempt and you don't want to do that. It's a sign of weakness and will turn him or her off even more. What you need to do is give your ex the impression that you have moved on.

Party with your friends, socialize, and DON'T, and I mean don't, try to make your ex jealous. Let your ex see you're fine, that life is great. By doing this you have a better chance of getting your ex back because it will get their attention.

Second, determine what cause the breakup in the first place. Learn from it; you'll be richer for it. You can't time travel and make it right, but you can learn from your mistake. And don't beat yourself up.

Third, cut communication to a minimum. Not only do you need to clear your head and think about what happened, but also your ex needs to, too. Don't let your break up get you down or obsess over it. Also, minimizing communications, curbs the desperation factor, keeping you from appearing needy. Make your ex miss you.

I realize you want to do everything possible to get your ex back, and not communicating much seem counterintuitive, but it has to be done to increase your chances of getting what you want -- your ex back.

Lastly, you want to come up with a plan. Decide when you want to meet again, where you want to meet, and what you are going to say. But don't plan your meeting too early, or too late; timing is important. Take action. You know your ex, so plan accordingly. This will help you access the situation more rationally, and improves your chances of getting them back. - 15784
