How to Get Back The Man You Love

Like many women I was desperately in love with a man who suddenly decided he needed "space." At the time, it felt like my entire world had fallen apart. There I was, ready to build a life with this man, and he decided it was the perfect time to start playing the field.



Within a few days of him telling me it wasn't me, and that he just needed space, he was already dating someone new. I knew she wasn't right for him. How could she be? I was. I wanted nothing more than to have a second chance with him.



So I did what most women do when they want a man to come back to them. I begged. I pleaded. I cried. None of those things worked. I turned to my friends who all offered the same sage advice - 'sooner or later he'll realize what he had in you and he'll come crawling back.' The only problem was that I wanted that to happen sooner not later.



If you want to get your ex boyfriend back you have to think outside the traditional box. I realized this soon after our break-up. Once my approach of trying to convince him to take me back didn't work, I decided to try something new.



I felt I had nothing left to lose. He had moved on and I wasn't ready to. So I took a new approach and within days he was calling me asking me out on a date.



If you love your ex boyfriend and you know deep in your heart he is your one and only, there is help to get him back. I know - it worked for me.

What Not to Do When You Want Him Back 

Common Relationship Killers

Women are emotional creatures. I know I am. For most of my life I've worn my heart on my sleeve for the entire world to see. When I'm in a relationship - I've always spoken my mind and shared exactly what I've been feeling - all the good, the bad, and the ugly.


When my boyfriend left, I felt as though I couldn't go on. I had dated other men and those relationships had ended, but this time it felt different. I felt as though I was watching my soul mate walk out of my life forever. I wanted him back, but I didn't know how to do it. I made a ton of mistakes before I finally found the key to getting him back.


Common mistakes that you don't want to make when you are trying to get your ex boyfriend back include:


Acting too needy. When a man needs time to think, the last thing he'll find appealing is a woman who proclaims she cannot live without him. This is actually a huge turn-off and can kill any chance you have of rekindling his interest.


Giving him an ultimatum. Telling your ex boyfriend that he has to make a decision regarding getting back together with you will almost always backfire. He'll feel pressure and it will actually ensure he won't come back.


Waiting by the phone or the computer for him to contact you. If a man has made a conscious decision to end his relationship with you, don't sit and wait for him to call. Get out and do something completely unrelated to him. Now is the perfect time to take a class, join the gym or meet your girlfriends for a drink.


Having someone else talk to him for you. If you ask one of his friends or a mutual friend to talk to him about you, he'll view this as interference. Resist the temptation to do this. He'll resent you for trying to involve anyone else in the situation.

What to Do When He's Dating Someone New 

How to Get His Attention Back For Good

Many men seem to have the ability to move seamlessly from one relationship to another. If your boyfriend recently broke up with you and now you discover he's already dating another woman, you may feel used.

You can actually cement his interest just by how respond to this news. Even if every fiber of your being is screaming at you to tell him that she's not the right one for him. Don't do it.

He'll be stunned. He'll be shocked. He'll wonder why you suddenly lost interest in him.


It's this that will make him want you back.
