You may be sitting there full of hope that I am about to give you a magical formula to transport your ex back into your arms.
Good news.
I am going to try.
Here is how to get your ex back.
When you want to get your ex back, you need two hearts.
You need a heart of stone and one of love.
If you do not love them, then there is no point in getting them back.
The stone heart is the one which you will show to the world.
People will think you are unaffected by the breakup, believing you are happy enough to just be friends.
It will not be easy, but boy, is it worth it! Right now you will probably feel awful to the point of suicidal.
There is hope, however, and a heck of a lot of it.
Just write down a plan of action, and follow it to the letter.
I will help.
Firstly, list down all the reasons your ex could have been attracted to you.
Hint: confidence, innocence, humour, sense of fun etc.
Secondly you need to develop these traits.
Do not reinvent yourself, just help yourself.
Get the old sparkle back into your eye by doing some fun things.
They can be anything, just make them damn fun! If you have a great time, it will show.
Make sure you eat healthily and exercise, unless you're big and your ex likes that.
Even then, eat your veggies and drink water! It can give you a lovely glow which everyone will see.
Once you feel you can have a normal conversation with your ex without feeling compelled to spill your guts, then call.
Invite them over for a nice cheese and wine evening, or something that you both enjoy.
Say you want to catch up.
If they accept then have a great evening.
DO NOT HIT ON THEM.
Bide your time, tease them, and engage in some light flirting.
Once you have spent a total of around 7/8 hours with them, then you can make your move.
Tell them you miss them.
Then apologise.
Then tell them you really miss them.
Kiss them.
Make it passionate, not loving.
Take things from there.
Good luck.
