I have seen every sneaky underhanded trick to try to get one's ex back and none of them work.
You can't trick people, plain and simple.
Look, I know you're hurting.
Been there, done that, have the T-Shirt and the whole wardrobe to go with it.
It's not a fun place and I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.
But trickery is not the way to go.
In this article, I'm going to give you some solid advice that will have you on your way to getting your ex back in your arms for good.
To begin with, you need to clear your head.
I know it's hard.
The last thing you can do right now is think straight.
I remember after each one of my breakups, I was devastated.
I couldn't do anything but sit around and mope.
But guess what? It doesn't do any good.
So as difficult as it may be, take a deep breath, get your act together, and start planning your strategy.
What strategy? Glad you asked.
Like I said, trickery doesn't work, so you have to use some straight forward honest tactics.
You ex will be so surprised by them that he or she will be dumbfounded.
This is when you will have the advantage and the upper hand.
First part of the strategy is going out and getting a new life, and make sure your ex knows about it.
Go buy some new clothes or whatever it is you're into.
When one of my ex girlfriends broke up with me, I went to the music store and bought me a recording studio.
Okay, it was a little extravagant, but it sure got the point across big time.
After you go buy yourself something, start dating again.
Forget your ex even exists.
Hey, I have no doubt that somebody else would be dying to be seen with you.
Next part of the strategy is to wait.
This is the hardest part, but trust me on this.
Eventually, your ex will see that you have a life.
They'll be calling you up to see how you are and sometime during the conversation, they're going to ask to see you.
Don't sound too overeager.
Accept the invite graciously.
You need to be as relaxed and calm about the whole thing as possible.
Your ex can't get one whiff that this means the world to you.
Finally, you'll get together.
This is where you be straight and honest with your ex WITHOUT getting emotional.
Tell your ex how you feel.
If you want to get back together, say so.
Don't play games but don't make it seem like this is life and death, because the truth is, it's not.
Nine out of ten times, this will work fine.
If it doesn't, I've just run into a fantastic book that I wish to God was out when I was dating.
I've read it and reviewed it and you can read the review at my blog.
I think you'll find it quite refreshing from all the nonsense out there.
You really CAN get your ex back.
The above plan will get you on your way.
