It is easy to let impatience get the better of you after being dumped. Your ego has taken a hit and you desperately need answers to all of the questions he left you with. Why did this happen? Was it your fault? Will he ever talk to you again?
This strong need for validation comes from all of the confusion a breakup creates. There is much stress in your life, and getting answers makes you feel more secure…even if they are not the ones you want. Unfortunately, pressuring your ex boyfriend with questions about your breakup will not help your cause. Many guys will run away if they feel trapped, so your best bet is to let the healing come naturally.
How long will it take for your ex to come around? Most of it depends on why they left and how long you were together. If he dumped you because you were cheating then you might have to wait for him to have his own fling before he feels comfortable enough to talk with you. Generally, the longer your relationship lasted the less time it takes to approach each other. If you have only dated a couple weeks, then it may very well be over for good.
There are things you can do to help him come back faster. Give him some space for starters so that he has time to think about everything. Always be positive when you are around him or his friends. You don't want to play the role of "Debbie Downer" because no one wants to hang out with a loser. Don't be afraid to show up at the same social functions. This is your best chance to make a move. Start by being friendly and gently remind him of how good things can be when you are together ;)
Perhaps the most important point to keep in mind is that your ex will come back when he is ready. Trying to pressure him into a decision will undoubtedly backfire. If you simply can't wait for him to make up his own mind then you should at least make him think it was his idea. This is not always easy but it can be done. First you need to get him to talk to you again and then you can turn up the romance. The key is to keep him wanting more, but never giving in until he makes his move.
Patience may not be easy to come by after a break up. However, if you can hold back your emotions and entice your ex to make a move, you will get him back faster than you ever thought possible.

Make a Lasting Impression on Your Ex Boyfriend
We talk quite a bit about confidence in this blog and how it directly impacts your chances of reuniting with your ex boyfriend. While it does take time to develop a high level of self-confidence, there are plenty of things you can do to “fake it until you make it”.
They key is in how you present yourself. Body language is the first signal you send to people around you. Here is how to make sure you are sending the right message…
1. Be presentable at all times. You never know who you will bump into. Dress appropriately and always aim to look your best.
2. Maintain good personal hygiene. This may seem obvious, but it is easy to let yourself go when you are feeling down. Take a shower every day, wear proper make-up, change your undergarments regularly, maintain finger and toe nails, wash and dry your hair, and brush your teeth after every meal.
3. Learn and practice proper posture. Standing up straight improves your appearance and creates opportunities for eye contact. Practice by standing flat against a wall and then walk around the room. After a minute or two, stand back against the wall and check if you are still holding your posture.
4. Prevent sweat and body-odor. Sweating is the body’s natural defense to overheating. While you can’t eliminate sweating, you can control it by wearing light and airy clothing in warm weather, using deodorant and body sprays, as well as washing your hands and face as needed.
5. Staying healthy. Your body shines when it is feeling its best, but without your help it will never reach its potential. Exercise regularly, eat a well-balanced diet, and get enough sleeping time to improve your health and avoid unwanted diseases. 6. Always smile. A simple smiling face is often all it takes to make people like you better. Practice your smile in the mirror and focus on wearing it during your everyday activities.
7. Customize and accessorize. Wear appropriate clothing suitable for every occasion and be honest with yourself when looking in the mirror. You have to know what is too much and too little. Don’t draw negative attention to yourself for being too revealing or gaudy.
8. Hide the signs of fatigue and exhaustion. No one likes a “Debbie Downer”. No matter how much you are struggling inside, it is important to put on your best face. Keep your complaints to a minimum look for positives in your life to give you energy. Changing your mental mindset will help you deal with your problems.
9. You are a special person who people like. Reinforce your confidence by reminding yourself of all the good things you do. If you are feeling sad then make it a point to do something to help another person. The more you give to others the better you will feel about yourself.
Confidence is contagious, but you have to look the part. If you can sell the world on the “new happy you” then you will have them (and your ex) eating right out of your hands.

Tired of leaving voicemails and text messages for your ex boyfriend only to have them ignore you? Most likely the problem is that your messages do not giving him enough reason to reply.
Think of things from your ex's perspective for a second. He broke up you with because he wasn't satisfied with your relationship. If all you do is text him with messages like "I miss you" or "I'm sorry" then he already knows what you have to say. Since he was the one to leave you he almost certainly doesn't want to sit through a phone call with you crying and begging for forgiveness.
The secret to getting your ex boyfriend to call you is leaving a message that will make him respond. Tell him you have something important to talk to him about, or leave him hanging by saying "there is something you should know…(pause)…never mind, I can’t talk about it right now".
Do you see how much more intriguing these types of messages are? Capture his curiosity with your messages to make him WANT to call you. Sure you might have to stretch the truth a little, but if you can get him talking to you then you will give yourself a chance to win your ex boyfriend back.
