Here's a little secret about communication...rarely do the words we speak get interpreted the way we intended. For example, you might tell a co-worker that you had a bad weekend. For you that means your boyfriend broke up with you, but for them it is probably a red flag to stay away from you for the day.
People are sensitive about their space and influences. No one wants to feel confined or pressured by outside forces...and this is exactly the kind of feeling you impose on your ex when you start talking about LOVE.
If you are lucky enough to get your ex back talking to you again then you must block out the temptation to profess your love for them. It probably feels natural to say "I love you" to someone you have been close to, but keep in mind the pressures in your relationship caused them to leave. Do you really want to waste your chance at getting back together by making things stressful right from the start?
Your ex probably does still have feelings of love left for you. They care about you, and wish you the best in life. However, it will take some time after the breakup before they will feel comfortable being in love again.
In the meantime, you should enjoy any time you have together. Keep things positive and have fun. Good relationships survive because the good times outweigh the bad times. This is your opportunity to create a happy and stress-free "vibe" that will attract him back over time.

Making It Easy to Make Up
Emotions run so high after a break up that it is often difficult to make good decisions, especially when you finally get the chance to speak to your ex boyfriend. You want to pour your heart out and say all the right things to get another chance at fixing the relationship.
The problem is that most of the things you are want to say (I'm sorry, I love you, etc.) only make things harder on your ex. They don't feel the same way you do right now, and when you throw out words like "love" it puts them in a bad position. Most boyfriends are not out to destroy your life, they have simply come to a crossroads in their time with you. Apologies and proclamations of your love are words that call for a response...but in this case your ex has nothing positive to say back.
But what if you could take away the pressure and make it easy for your ex boyfriend to make up with you? Choosing the path of least resistance is not necessarily the easy choice when your gut if filled with swirling emotions. However, for the long term it gives you the best chance of getting back with your ex.
Think of it this way...if you had something difficult to tell someone how would you want them to respond? What would your perception of them be if they freaked out about the news? How would it be different if they handled the same news with grace and respect? As you probably see, the latter makes things much easier and leaves things in position for more discussion down the road.
The bottom line is you can give yourself a better chance at making up by simply making things easier on your ex boyfriend. Accept this break up for what it is and give your partner some space. At the very least you will earn their respect and trust...two valuable components that you'll need to solve your relationship problems.

Finding Secrets to Get Your BF Back
Within most of the articles on this blog I preach the importance of creating attraction to get your ex boyfriend back. Some of you though miss the easy part of this advice. You don't have to search the internet for ways to attract men in order to succeed. In most cases the creative ideas you seek are already in your mind.
You see, at some point in the past you have already proved successful in attracting your ex. This is how your relationship began. Of course only you know what that magical formula was back then, but it shouldn't be too hard to figure out. In many cases there was a physical attraction that got the ball rolling, and yet this was likely not the only contributor. At some point you had a conversation, went out on dates, etc. What was it about those moments that was so special?
Go ahead and make yourself a list of things you think your ex bf liked about you. It can be anything from the way you smelled to your favorite television shows. When you are finished, stare at that list until you can think of ways to lure him back into your life. And I'm not talking about falling in love. Start with baby steps...try to get him on the phone for starters!
Now the last thing you need to do with your list is be honest with yourself. Are there some things he liked that have changed in the recent past? If so, then you need to try and fix those. The power of attraction can be hard to control. Your goal should be to bring as many good things from the past back into your current life.
Last but not least, don't forget to keep him guessing. Attraction is always stronger for things we cannot have or don't understand. There has to be a mysterious new element involved to really grab your ex's attention. This isn't always easy to define, but no one knows your ex bf like you do!

Your Ex Boyfriend Doesn't Want to Hurt You Again?
What does it mean when your ex boyfriend says he "doesn't want to hurt you again"? This is without question one of the most confusing statements you will ever have to consider. Is it a warning that he can never fully commit to you? Is he saying he simply can't control himself?
While every situation is different, most guys say this when they still care about how their ex feels about them. They don’t want to be accused of riding off into the sunset with their new girl while leaving you behind depressed and confused. But does this make the situation any more right? Not by most people's standards. In fact many would consider it to be an excuse as opposed to a loving statement.
If you believe he "doesn’t want to hurt you again" then in essence you are admitting fault with yourself. Buying into the theory that your ex boyfriend has the power to hurt you shows an element of weakness on your part. You are in fact saying "yes he can hurt me...but he has cares enough about me to prevent it". You are focusing on the fact that he still cares, but overlooking that he has chosen to leave you because he knows temptation will always be an issue in your relationship.
There is only one way to get your ex boyfriend back in this situation. You must first change your focus from defense to offense. Instead of protecting the last sliver of love that remains between you, you must charge ahead and develop a deeper attraction. Right now your relationship is likely stuck in "friends mode"...but you need it to become much more passionate. His temptations will not be an issue if you can satisfy his whole body and mind.
A man like this who is both protective and unsatisfied needs direction. The fact that he still sees positive qualities in you is promising. However, deep inside this is a man who is looking to be controlled. He wants love to direct him, and if you cannot feed his needs enough to keep him focused on your relationship then he will indeed hurt you again and again.

Things to Ask Your Ex Boyfriend
It is natural to get anxious and impatient if you are struggling to fix a break up with your ex boyfriend. After all, you know exactly what you want from the relationship. But if all of your efforts to win him back are going unnoticed, then it may be time to confront some of the tough questions.
Do you trust me?
This is a big question, especially if your relationship has been affected by cheating. Trust is the primary building block of a good relationship, and without it things will not get very far. If you get a negative response to this question then you need to think about why they think that way. From there you will need to come up with creative strategies to win the trust back. Unfortunately, this usually takes a fair amount of time.
Do you still find me attractive?
The answer you receive from this question can be devastating if it comes back negative. Thus you need to be mentally prepared for the possibilities. Physical attraction can turn even the lamest relationship into a romance and it makes things much easier to rebuild what you had. For that reason, hearing a "yes" to this question is great news for the future.
Do you still love me?
This question poses the biggest risk and reward, but it can give you a good idea where things stand. Obviously you want hear "yes", but you should also be satisfied with an "I'm not sure". Essentially, anything but the answer "no" means there is still a chance.
Remember that you should only bring these things up after you have given everything else your best shot. You could severely hurt your chances of getting your ex back if you are too aggressive. However, if you just can't seem to close the deal, then you may need to be more upfront with him.

Should You Involve His Family?
It may seem like a good idea to get your ex boyfriend’s family involved with your mission to get him back, but there are some things you should consider before going too far.
First you need to think about the perception your ex boyfriend will have of you. He may find your tactics to be invasive of his privacy. Even if you are good friends with his family it is still his family first. You need to respect the fact the he deals with them everyday, and anything you do to affect this relationship may send the wrong message.
The second thing to consider is what exactly do you expect to happen by involving his parents? In your mind you are thinking that they might talk him into giving you another chance. But what if things fall apart? What if they resent the fact that you are using them to get to him? You should think about all of the possible negatives before burning your bridges.
Finally, you need to look into the future. Is it worth it to get your ex back if he had to be convinced to do it? You want a relationship that is built on love and trust. If you can’t make him want you by being you, then maybe the relationship has reached its peak. A forced relationship will eventually fail again in the future.
Your ex boyfriend’s parents might be close to you, but you have to respect the boundaries of family structure. It can be okay to talk to them in some situations, but you should never use them for your own benefit. The easiest way to guard against this is by keeping everyone’s feelings in mind before you speak. If you think it will hurt someone (including yourself), then don’t go there.

Use Men's Desires to Get Them Back
Men are not all the same, but there are plenty of things that they all seem to like. Knowing the desires of your ex boyfriend can help you win them back into your life.
Looks
You can't change the body that God gave you, but you can optimize what you have. Show your ex how hot you can be by looking your best. This doesn't mean you have to dress differently, but it does mean you should put in the maximum effort to catch his eye. Dress every day like it is your first date together. This will gurantee that he notices you.
Compliments
Now that you are looking your best it is time to make him feel good. Don't go overboard, but a couple of nice compliments will go a long way. Even simple comments like "I like that shirt" or "Nice haircut" may seem petty, but men are just as anal as women regarding their appearance. Compliments also work well because they break down the stress in communication.
Playing Hard to Get
It might seem odd to try this since you are the one pursuing him, but it plays into the theory of wanting what we can't have. Be flirty and cute when you around your ex, but know when to walk away at the right time. Leaving him begging for more will turn the tables on your situation.

Did you scare your boyfriend away?
Everyone goes through some soul searching after dealing with a breakup. You wonder what went wrong and if there was something more you could have done to change the outcome. One thing to consider during this reflection time is to ask yourself if you actually scared your boyfriend away? This is not that uncommon and here are some common examples.
Commitment Pressure
No one likes to think that they put more into a relationship than they get out of it, but if you value your boyfriend, then you have to be careful. You can actually have the opposite effect by making demands for an engagement or more of his time. Guys can be like wild animals at times, and the more you cage them up the more they want to be free. Subtle hints at commitment are OK, but it should be a natural occurrence instead of a forced response.
Criticism
Similar to the commitment issue, guys like to feel empowered and confident. Thus, the more you bicker about their hair, clothes, or social activities the more they become turned off. The best approach is to compliment them when they do something you like, and keep your criticism to a minimum.
Too Much ____ (insert just about anything here)
There is such a concept of too much of a good thing, especially when it makes your boyfriend feel uncomfortable. This includes public displays of affection and time spent together. You want to be "wanted" - not "uninvited". Increase the value of your affection with a little bit of hard-to-get. You'll find that guys enjoy the hunt even more than the kill.
The bottom line is that you can scare away a good relationship even if you didn't mean to. Take a look at your yourself and your actions when analyzing your breakup. Were you too aggressive with the situations listed above? If so, it should be easy to recognize and correct. Make yourself more attractive to him by toning it down a notch. By doing this you will effectively turn the tables on the situation by making him want you back.

Be Strong and Confident
Weakness in a man is not an attractive trait, yet when a woman breaks up with a man; to get her back some men choose to reveal just how weak he is.
When a man shows a woman this type of weakness it can only lead to 1 of 2 things.
- She leaves you for good
- She stays and proceeds to manipulate and control you
Even though, in reality when you choose to be weak the only thing it does is increase the likelihood of you not getting what you want.
A man who stays strong during a breakup can gain;
- Control in the relationship
- A woman who is attracted to him
- Increased inner strength
- A woman who is in control of the relationship
- A woman who is Not attracted to him
- Increased Inner Turmoil
In the end, staying strong or being weak is all about what you are willing to risk in the short term for long-term pleasure.
Don't Be the Jealous Girlfriend
An important aspect of any relationship is to feel both free and secure. No one likes to be smothered or controlled by anyone, especially their girlfriend. This is why it is important to manage your jealousy if you are trying to get your ex boyfriend back.
If your ex sees you lurking around every corner, or giving him stern looks every time he talks to another girl, then he will probably try to avoid you. Your jealousy will make every situation with him uncomfortable, and your chances of winning back his love will be slim. Instead, be strong and confident with yourself. If you know that he made a mistake by dumping you then show him by being the bigger woman. Eventually the tides of jealousy will turn and he will be the one trying to get back your love.

Recognize Games for What They Are
So much of the breakup process is mental strategy. Relationships spit up for many different reasons, including using a breakup to leverage power.
You could be a victim of a power play by your ex boyfriend. They want to subdue you into thinking they are leaving, only to make you beg to get back with them. It definitely isn't fair, but recognizing the situation could play dividends.
The hardest part of dealing with this situation is staying strong. You have to fight fire with fire...no matter how much it might contradict what you are thinking. The simplest way to do this is to carry on with life. Go out with your friends, entertain yourself, and try to have fun. If you stay on course than YOU will leverage the power, and your boyfriend will be trying to win you back!

Be Attractive!
It is easy to become down in the dumps after a breakup, and this usually leads to paying less attention to your appearance. Skipping workouts, binge eating, and frumpy outfits may suit your mood, but there not going to do much for your marketability.
Remember, you are trying to win back your boyfriend - not scare him away. This is the time to focus on improving your appearance and making yourself get noticed. Control the urge to eat junk foods and start working out more. You have the extra time, so you might as well benefit from it. If you can afford it, then invest in some new outfits. Nothing over the top, just something cute that accents your features.
Not only will the people around begin to take notice, but your ex boyfriend will start to realize what he left behind!

Control Your Anger
The emotional roller coaster of a breakup can make it hard to stay in control. Your ex boyfriend can drive you crazy when things aren't going your way. But if you want to save your relationship, then it is best to keep your temper under control. Shouting matches and bossy behavior will only send him running in the opposite direction.
By being the calm voice in the storm you will not only lower the stress level of the situation, but you will also never "lose" a fight. Even if his actions are making you mad, you should try to come off as calm as possible. This will work in your favor down the road as you will catch him off-guard with your composure. This is one way to begin gaining an advantage over him after a breakup.

Even though it is tempting to give into the depression and hurt, you can’t let yourself be seen in a pitiful state. No one wants to hang out with a weak soul who falls apart at every curve in the road of life. Save the crying for behind closed doors. In public, do everything you can to portray yourself in a positive light. You are more likely to generate interest from your ex boyfriend by displaying how strong you can be, as opposed to appearing useless without him.
Give Him Some Space
This one can be hard to do, but minimizing all forms of contact with your ex boyfriend will actually help your cause. This strategy serves two purposes. First, it prevents you from saying anything dumb that will hurt your chances. Second, it gives both of you some to reflect on your relationship. Hopefully, your ex boyfriend will realize what an important part of his life you are. By allowing him to “miss you”, you will increase your chances of getting him back.
Don’t Get Bossy
One of the natural reactions to being rejected is to over-compensate by using “power trips”. This goes along with the eye-for-an-eye theory, or “since you hurt me, I will hurt you”. An example of power tripping is giving you ex boyfriend ultimatums or threats. Saying that he only has a certain time frame to do something, or that he needs to decide on your relationship by a certain date. By threatening or cornering your ex boyfriend you are more likely to scare him away for good, instead of attracting him back to you.
Be Yourself
Another common mistake that women make after being dumped is to try to reinvent themselves. They think being dumped means they were not good enough for someone, and so they try to change. They might start to party more, dress differently, or even try cosmetic surgery to create a new look. Unfortunately, these tactics only build a fake persona. Changing outside of the real you will only attract people to your fake identity. Focus on what makes you unique, and whether it is your ex boyfriend or someone new, they will love you for who you are.
Getting your ex boyfriend back will require both patience and persistence. Following the guidelines listed here will help, but ultimately you need to have a plan of action. Visit Get Back My Ex for more targeted strategies to help get your ex boyfriend back.
