I Want My Ex Back — What Should I Do?

If you’ve recently gone through a breakup with a boyfriend or girlfriend and you’ve got yourself saying “I want my ex back“, there are some things you should do up front to maximize your chances of winning him or her back.The most important thing to do at this stage is to eliminate or at least minimize any contact with your ex. If you happen to work at the same company as your ex, you certainly can be polite and cordial to him or her, but avoid any drama or extended conversations about the situation, particularly in the workplace. That not only makes you look bad on the job, it’s not going to be a positive step towards winning your ex back.So as hard it may seem, no text messages, no phone calls, and certainly no showing up at places where you know he or she is going to be then trying to pretend that it was just a coincidence. That tactic will be totally transparent.After a week or two passes with this minimal contact, chances are very good that your ex is going to be curious as to why he or she hasn’t heard from you. That’s because most people expect to hear from there ex right away if the breakup was a one-sided deal, meaning one of you was caught off guard and didn’t want or expect the breakup. As your ex’s curiosity rises don’t be surprised if you get a text message or phone call from them asking for some time to get together and talk. Curiosity is a very strong motivator in people when someone wants an answer to a burning question that they have.
