Breakups are painful.
If your boyfriend has moved on it isn't uncommon to be thinking of getting back with him.
Being depressed and lying in bed crying won't get him back.
It isn't too late.
While there is no guarantee that you will get back with him, if you follow principles behind these tips, you will drastically increase your chances of rekindling the relationship.
Following these tips has a good chance of working, even if your ex has moved on and is seeing someone else.
1.
Make him want you.
This may seem obvious, but it is surprising how many people will approach getting back with their former partner from a position of desperation instead of power.
Unless the relationship has been irreversibly damaged, there is usually a good chance of getting back with your ex.
This first tip is mostly a mindset, it is important to keep it.
2.
Be his friend.
Don't just be a friend by name, but actually do the things friends do.
Don't bring up any negative emotions and be a fun person to be around.
Laugh, have a good time and be there for him when he needs support.
Being understanding definitely wouldn't go amiss either.
3.
Be nice.
Now this doesn't mean you have to be submissive.
You can definitely be kind and assertive at the same time.
Being kind will bring back good feelings he felt in the relationship.
This will definitely make him want you more.
But while being nice, you definitely want to let him know that you aren't going to get back with him easily.
This brings us to our next tip.
4.
Play hard to get.
You definitely need to do this.
However you don't want to take it to its extreme.
Playing 'hard to get' too much will make your ex boyfriend believe you have moved on and are no longer interested in the relationship.
You don't want that to happen.
It's also not a good idea to play games with him.
Dating another guy just to make him feel jealous may work in the short term, but will have consequences down the road.
5.
Don't be needy.
You need to accept the breakup.
Your ex boyfriend should also know that you have accepted it.
Acting needy is a surefire way to push him away.
After the breakup, only positive emotions are allowed.
Neediness is a surefire way to generate negative emotions.
Play it cool, and avoid acting desperate.
6.
Be mysterious.
A little bit of mystery never hurt.
This goes back to our tip on playing hard to get.
If you see your ex boyfriend looking at you, a little smile and fleeting glance wouldn't go astray.
This will make him want you as he will become curious, wanting to know more.
7.
Remember the good times.
You want to reminisce about the good times you both shared together.
This is a great conversation to have with your ex.
Doing this brings out positive emotions.
The more positive emotions you both feel, the more likely you will both want to get together again.
This is just the beginning.
While it may not be what eventually gets your ex boyfriend back, it is definitely a good start.
