The separation period is very tough, especially in the beginning, but the way you handle yourself will ultimately decide whether you need to find a new girl or not.

You might feel like that you should get in contact with your ex immediately, but this is a mistake. This is not they route to take if you really want to get your ex back.

Take some time off to gather your thoughts and get your emotions in control. We all have feelings of panic and desperation during break ups, but the worst thing to do is to beg for her to come back.

Why do people believe that stalking their ex will make a difference and make them come running back. This is actually the worst idea to win your ex back.

If you want any chance of getting back together you need to avoid stalking her. Sending her flowers, text messaging her a thousand times or leaving her hundreds of messages will only anger her and make you look desperate. And whatever you do, don't show up on her doorstep unannounced. Trust me on that one.

Desperate tactics will only push your ex further away making things much more difficult. Getting back together will become even more difficult if you don't give her some space and time. You don't want her to feel like you are smothering her.

With some thoughtful planning and creativity you should focus on building up the attraction that once brought you together to begin with. Just because your girlfriend left you doesn't mean you can't get back together, but it will take some time apart and the attraction between you has to have a chance to rebuild again.
