Have you recently split up with your girl of your dreams? Is getting back with her the only thing you can think about and would you do anything to get achieve just that? Whenever people break up with someone they care about, it's only natural to experience a whole range of emotions such as guilt, anger, despair, blame, frustration and regret.
Whatever emotions you are experiencing you must be brutally honest with yourself and not let those emotions cloud your thinking.
What was it that caused the break up? If it's something you did, can it be remedied? If so you should be doing whatever is necessary, no matter how difficult you think it may be, to succeed.
If it was something you did or maybe something you should have done and you can rectify it then rectify it.
If it was something you said or didn't say then say you are sorry (and mean it) and try to make amends.
However, if this is all you need to do, you are very lucky.
It's far more likely that you'll have to work a lot harder to get your ex back.
Whatever you do to get your ex back you must remain true to yourself.
Don't make promises to be someone that you aren't.
You will not be able to keep the pretense up forever and you will be miserable during the time that you can.
Now that's not to say you shouldn't change for the better.
I'm not saying you should try to be the person you think your ex wants you to be but it certainly won't do any harm to think about the way you look, the way you act, what irritating habits you may have for example and change.
If you have let your appearance slip (an easy thing to do in any long term relationship) then there's something you can do that will make an immediate positive impact.
It is important to remind your ex just how good you did look and can look when you make the effort.
If your wardrobe needs updating then go and do it.
Looking good and smelling good can remind your ex what they found attractive in you in the first place.
What this does is show your ex and others that you are coping and the person you were before you split up, or indeed before you met, still exists.
Don't go chasing after your ex but make sure they notice the effort you've made.
It may take time but it will be worth it.
It's good if others notice this improvement in you but don't play games.
Flirting with others in an attempt to induce jealously won't work.
It will either make your ex angry or they will come back just out of competition.
This never lasts, you need your ex to come back because they truly want to.
Timing can be vital.
Your ex may indicate they want to come back soon after the break up or it can take weeks, even months.
During this time the best thing you can do is remain friendly.
This helps you to stay close, show you have changed for the better, and that you care.
You will also be there when you see the signs and the time is right to get your ex back.
