How to Get Your Ex Girlfriend Back If There is Something Worth Saving
You and your girlfriend have just broken up and you are wondering what happened. Does this sound like your situation? If your answer is yes, read on because what follows are some simple first steps that you should take to get your ex girlfriend back. And yes, it is very possible. It happens every day. But everyone's situation is different, so start with these first steps, steps that everyone who wants an ex back should be taking and then you can develop a plan to start working on getting your ex back.
First, even if you have to pretend, make sure she "finds out" that you're doing just fine without her. You don't necessarily need to go so far as to start another serious relationship. This could send the signal that you are over her and have moved on. What you want to accomplish here is for her to know that for you, life is going on. You're being social, going out, and not moping around feeling sorry for yourself at home alone.
Second, start casually dating other girls. She'll find out about it and maybe start feeling a bit of jealously. At the very least, she'll wonder how you're "bouncing back" so quickly. Depending on the circumstances of the break-up, creating some jealously can work to your advantage. It almost goes without saying that if someone is feeling jealousy, they still have feelings for you. If that happens in your case, it is certainly a positive sign. Don't take this too far though. if your ultimate goal is to win back your ex girlfriend, she has to know that you haven't completely moved on and that these "dates" you're going on are casual and not developing into serious relationships.
Third, let some time pass before you try to contact your ex girlfriend directly. Definitely don't go on a drunk dialing spree or start sending endless text messages. Don't show wide mood swings by telling her how sorry you are one minute, then playing the blame game the next minute. You need to show stability at this point.
After some time has passed, perhaps 2-3 weeks, get back in touch with her and ask her out to lunch. Make it clear that this is just a friendly get together to "catch up" on what each of you have been up to. Keep the conversation casual and don't dwell on the past. It should become fairly clear during the course of this get together whether reconciliation is something that will be worth pursuing. If things go well, make sure that you set up another time to get together.
If you follow these 3 simple steps, you should know within a few weeks whether you have a chance at getting your ex girlfriend back. You may be surprised at the outcome. Many guys have used these general techniques with quite a bit of success.
Always remember though, take things slowly. Getting your ex girlfriend back is not something you can rush. Things will happen at the pace they are meant to happen.
