How to get the ex back!

Firstly look at the FACTS!

Is it really likely to work AND / OR are your motives purely about ‘booty call’? Be honest with yourself as you’ll be disrespecting your ex if you get this wrong.

If you can’t stop thinking about them and there is clearly some love left in the ‘pot’ – I’m talking not being able to sleep, feel empty, feel really attracted to them etc, then you perhaps should think about winning them back.

A little flirt doesn’t hurt!

Now this process can actually be harder than finding a new partner so be prepared to fight for their love and prove that you really are the one they should be thinking about and in a relationship with. If you are prepared for this and you know in your heart of heats that the ex is the one for you then you may want to try one of the following ideas to woo them back:

Make yourself irresistible – Get a make over / hair cut, buy some new threads. Get some advice from friends as to how to change your image to make you more attractive. By doing this you will immediately appeal to more people and thereby increase your confidence. If your ex sees that you are getting attention and that you are moving on… they will be drawn right back to you if they really care. A change of image is a great idea because it helps you find the ‘new you’ too. See my tips on how to flirt successfully.

Dinner at yours – Ask them over for dinner ‘as a friend’. Line up a couple of tracks on the CD player that were ‘your tracks’ – amongst others of course. Also maybe get some photos out of good times gone by. By doing this you will know straight away just how interested they are – obviously be subtle and not stalker like! You never know it may actually cement it in your mind that they are not right after all.

Do something exciting – Again, ask them as a friend whether they fancy doing something a little different. I’m talking something unusual and exciting that will get the emotions running and bring you closer – a day out at an amusement park or something. This is also a great way of clearing the stale air between you… and may lead to a little more.

The jealousy card – Not a particularly pleasant card to play as it hurts everyone involved. However if you are that desperate to win your ex back and feel that the only way you can win their attention is by flirting with others then go for it. But, be warned that this can backfire quite easily and ALL trust between you and your ex can disappear in seconds. I don’t advise this as you are not being true to anyone involved, including yourself.

From my personal experience I live by the rule of never going backwards. After a relationship it feels like they are the only one you will ever be with again… this is human nature and you feel like this because you have shared so much together. Going back to the ex is a quick fix to a broken heart or getting a shag. 99% of people who go back say that it never works for a second time… and if it does, not for very long.
