How to Get Your Ex Back - What You Need to Do

Did someone just break up with you and you want them back? Pretty awful felling, huh? If you handle it right, you may be able to get them back. Here are tips to use if you want to know how to get your ex back.

What This Article Is Not About 

Before we begin, I want to clarify what this article is about. It is about how to get your ex back. But - it is not about "getting back at your ex" as in revenge or striking out at them. Break ups can be very nasty - especially is someone feels betrayed. That's an entirely different subject than what this article is about.

If you've been through a break up and think you want to get back together with your ex, read on.

Break Up Advice You Need To Follow 

Going through a break up is one of the hardest things to do since it cuts to the core. It's almost like having to cope with a death in a sense. After all, it is the end of a relationship and losing someone.

Maybe you did something wrong. Maybe you didn't do anything at all and have no idea what happened. Does this sound familiar? "It's not you, it's me." Maybe there's someone else. There are so many reasons for a break up.

One thing I do know is that after a break up, you aren't thinking clearly. Your emotions are a mess and so is your head. If you want to figure out how to get your ex back, there are some very specific things you should and - more importantly - should not do. There's no guarantee you can get your ex back. However, there are sure fire ways to make sure you never have a chance to get back together.

Keep reading for break up advice and for ways to get your ex back. You won't want to listen to some of this and you'll want to ignore a lot of it. If that happens, take a deep breath, shake it off and think about your actions and possible consequences. It will be hard, but if you get your ex back it will be worth it.

How To Get Your Ex Back - Tip #1 

Keep Your Distance

After a break up, don't constantly call, text, IM or email your ex. You'll come across as needy and desperate. All this will do is convince your ex that he or she made the right decision to break up with you. I promise they are having a hard time too. If you've ever been the one to do the breaking up, you know what I mean. Your ex is also trying to reassure him or herself that they made the right decision. You don't want to give them any reasons they can use to justify they made the right decision.

Give your ex some space. No matter how much you want your questions answered, how confused your are and want to talk to him or her, keep quiet. As I said, your ex may not be convinced about the break up and just needs some time.

"Don't be a text message terrorist or voice mail stalker! (Admit it - that made you laugh a little!)"

How To Get Your Ex Back - Tip #2 

Revenge Is NOT The Answer

I know you're hurt. You may not be angry now, but you will be. It's part of the healing process. When you get to the anger part, you may want to strike out at your ex and get back at them for breaking up with you. Three words for you - DON'T DO IT.

Believe me - you don't want to be the crazy ex girlfriend or psycho ex boyfriend. You certainly don't want your ex to think you've lost it if you want to get back together. If you slash their tires, key their car or humiliate him or her somehow, guess what? Case closed and you are done.

Most importantly, you want to remind them how special you are and give them a reason to want to get back together with you. Take the high ground on this one and it will pay back 10 times over.

How To Get Your Ex Back - Tip #3 

Get Together With Your Friends

You had a life before your boyfriend or girlfriend and that means friends. Get together with them and go out. This will help with a few things. One - it will help you take your mind off your break up. Your friends will also be a shoulder to lean on.

Also, if you get out and look like you're moving on, your ex will probably hear about it. This will make them wonder what's up with you.

There's a little psychology behind this. People always want what they can't have. If you look depressed and unhappy, your ex has the control in the situation. If you look like you're okay with the break up, you get some of that control back.

How To Get Your Ex Back - Tip #4 

Take Responsibilty

Your ex boyfriend or girlfriend thought you were pretty great. Otherwise they would never have dated you. Did you do something or did something change that would make them feel otherwise?

If you know you caused the break up, you need to take responsibility for it and talk to you ex about it. Don't be confrontational or too emotional. Stay as calm, cool and collected as possible and apologize.

If something changed in the relationship, try to figure it out. Then get in touch with your ex and see if you can talk it out. You may not even have realized something changed but your ex did. The trick is going to be to try to open up the communication lines to work it out.

How to Get Your Ex Back - Tip #5 

Don't Wallow In Self Pity

A break up leaves you an emotional train wreck. As hard as it is, you need to suck it up and get through the days as best you can. You don't want your ex to see you're messed up or hear about it through others. You want them to think you're doing fine and moving on. Your ex is also hurting and will be paying attention to how you're doing. Make them think you're fine! There's a good chance they'll come sniffing around to find out what you're up to and why you're doing so well.

Eat a pint of ice cream, cry, scream, go for a run. Do whatever you need to do to help relieve some of those awful feelings. It's okay if you have to do this more than once. After that - hold your head up and keep moving forward.
