One of the best tricks to getting your ex back is to stop all contact with him or her immediately.
Don't worry, this won't be forever, but for the time being, cease all contact.
You are dealing with a whirlwind of emotions and you need to take time to assess.
Your heart is telling you to call your ex incessantly, until they return your call and take you back, but don't.
Keeping your distance, as well as keeping your emotions in check - especially at this stage right after a break up - is really one of the best way to ultimately succeed in getting your ex back.
Leave a respectful message, thanking him or her for the wonderful times you spent together, while also agreeing that the break up was for the best, and leave it at that.
Now comes the next best trick to getting them back: do NOT sit around waiting for something to happen.
Enjoy your life, make something happen on your own! Go out with friends, family, even take a short vacation, just enjoy yourself and reclaim the joy of doing anything you want because your on your own again.
Reconnecting with your friends is the next step to getting your ex back.
Your friends will love seeing more of you, and they won't even realize they are helping you out by simply being there.
Just enjoy their company and they won't waste any time telling your ex that you are having a blast and doing great! At this point, your ex will be reeling! You aren't trying to contact them incessantly, you aren't moping about their absence, you are out with your friends having the time of your life.
You ex won't like this at all and will waste no time contacting you directly to figure out what is going on in your life.
All of these things can add up to getting your ex back - they make him or her regret ever breaking up with you.
Your ex will waste no time getting in touch with you to talk about the possibility of getting back together again.
