How Do I Impress My Ex? Getting Your Ex Back Will Become Super Easy If You Can Impress Them
Getting your ex to call is a task in itself so make sure to have some exciting things to say to keep them on the line.
Step 1: Brag Yourself Up Slightly: Believe it or not, you can sound cool talking about your Madden score as long as you word it right.
"I totally beat this guy from Alabama that was ranked 2nd in the world" doesn't work but "I don't really know what to do being single.
I've been sitting home playing football trying to figure things out.
Hey, I got a new high score so that's good right?" plays you off a little better.
Step 2: With True Stories: When your ex asks you what you've been up to, you might panic and say that you've become a fast-rising hedge fund manager on Wall Street and in actuality the only hedges you manage are the ones in your front yard.
You'll get yourself in less trouble down the line as long as your impressive stories are true.
Step 3: A Job Promotion: Depending on your age, a potential boyfriend or girlfriend wants to see somebody that is secure and that they could start a family with.
It never hurts telling your ex that you've gotten more responsibilities or a promotion at your work.
Step 4: Family Happenings: Another thing that people look for in a potential mate is how they interact with their family.
Your ex will be impressed when you tell them you spent a Saturday night hanging with your mom or that you took your nieces and nephews to a movie.
Step 5: That You've Dropped The Negative: If your ex calls you on a Sunday morning, they won't be impressed when you tell them how wasted and black out drunk you got on the night before.
Instead, tell your ex how you're working on dropping negative aspects of your life and starting to act more responsible.
Step 6: Your Goals: Some people are content living in the same apartment and only dating the same person for the next 50+ years.
Most people want a relationship to progress though and that starts with you setting goals.
You don't necessarily want to set relationship goals but saving money for a house or to go back to school shows your ex you're on the up-and-up.
Step 7: That You Still Care: While you're telling your ex all these new things in your life, they might secretly feel like they're being pushed to the back burner.
If you still care about them, let them know that you're doing these things for them and that you still have feelings enough that you even put Madden on pause during your talks.
