Talking to your ex after a breakup is one of the hardest things to do…especially if you were the one dumped. You wonder when you should call them, what you will say, and how they will react. This by far the most stressful part of getting your ex back, but you can take some of the pressure off by having a good excuse to start your conversation. Here are ten ideas for grabbing your ex girlfriend's attention…
1. Ask for Help
If she has any feelings left for you then she won't leave you hanging when you need help. Maybe you need a ride somewhere, or a place to stay while your air conditioner gets fixed. Just make sure you cover your tracks because things will get ugly if she finds out you lied.
2. Offer Your Help
A slightly different approach to point #1. This time it is you who reaches out to lend a hand. What does your ex girlfriend need that you can provide cheaper or faster than anyone else? Whatever it is, don't sell it too hard or she will get suspicious. Make an offer and let it sit. She may not call tomorrow, but a really good deal is always hard to pass up.
3. Be Seen
Staying in your ex's social is circle is important. You want her and her friends to see you having fun. You have to play it cool though - no stalking. It is always best to arrive and leave before her. If you broke up as "friends" then make sure you get in some face time, but always be the one to end the conversation.
4. Share Your Accomplishments
This works well with texts and voicemails. Let her know you aced the big final or that you finally got that job promotion. Be friendly about it and don't brag. The best line is "I really wanted to share this with you because you are the only one who understands how hard I worked for it".
5. Give Her the Scoop
This is so easy with a little internet research. Track her favorite bands, teams, and television shows. As soon as some juicy news is released be the first to send a text or email link. Obviously you can only do this so many times before it loses its luster, so make sure you uncover an important nugget of info.
6. Make the Impossible Happen
Get front row tickets to her favorite concert, replace that lost set of earrings, get her the job interview she always wanted…and give it to her with no strings attached (what?!?). This strategy will only work if you make it seem like it happened naturally. Tell her you had a connection through an old friend and she can pay you back later. There is always the risk she will take it and run…but the payout is huge if you can play it cool.
Whether you use these ideas or come up with your own, the important thing is to get your foot in the door. It is not easy to spark up a conversation after being dumped, but with a little imagination you can get her to open up again.

Using Affirmations to Get Her Back
There are thousands of websites, books, and guides that discuss the best way to get an ex girlfriend back. But no matter what tactics are suggested by their authors, they all have one thing in common. In some way or another they emphasize that confidence is the key to approaching your ex.
So no matter how many romantic quotes, mind games, and "secret strategies" you learn, you will still need to exude confidence if you are going to succeed. Being able to look your ex in the eyes and tell her how you feel and what you want is easy to visualize when you are alone, but putting these words into action is often the hardest transition for the broken hearted.
There are several ways to build your self-confidence. You can start a workout program to improve your appearance, change your clothes or hairstyle for a fresh new look, or even revert to alcohol to give you a little "liquid courage". Obviously some of these techniques will work better than others, but there is one thing you can do every day that is almost certain to boost your self-esteem. It is an old psychological technique called Affirmation.
The use of affirmation statements can be a very powerful tool. An affirmation is a mental statement or image which is repeated over and over again until it dominates your sub-conscious and ultimately changes your belief about yourself. For some people this process of self-reinforcement takes months while others see results in only a few days.
Make a list of all the reasons why you think your ex girlfriend has left you forever. Look at each reason and rewrite it as an opposite statement with a positive tone.
For example, you might be thinking that…
"She will never love me again because I am a loser."
An affirmation statement in this case would read…
"I know I can win her back because I am a fun person with many different interests."
Although this is a very simple example, if you choose to use this affirmation repeatedly over time you will eventually begin to reverse your negative self-image. It only takes a few minutes a day to focus on changing your outlook about your breakup, and once you begin to believe in yourself it will drastically change the way your ex thinks about you.

Does Your Ex Girlfriend Still Love You?
Part of the process for mending a relationship involves taking risks. At some point you will have to risk your humility and reach out to your ex girlfriend without knowing how she will react. This is where a lot of guys fail at getting their ex back. They don’t want to risk being rejected again, so they never get the chance to make things right.
Of course it is a lot easier when you know she still has feelings for you. If your ex girlfriend is still in love with you then your chances of winning her back become much better. But how can you tell if she is still in love with you? Here are some things to look for:
Lots of Questions
If your ex is always asking questions about what you are doing and who you are hanging out with then chances are she still loves you. This behavior shows that you are still on her mind throughout the day. Even if she is supposedly “not talking to you” she may still be checking up on your status through mutual friends. Keep your ears open and ask other people in her social circle if she still talks about you.
Accidental Encounters
This one is not always easy to identify, but if you find that your ex girlfriend is sporadically showing up at the same places where you work or hang out then there may be more to it then just fate. One of the ways to tell is if she actually talks to you when you see each other. Even if it is just a friendly “Hello” it might mean she is sending you a signal to make your move.
Staying Single
If it has been several weeks since your breakup and your ex has not dated anyone new there might still be some fire left in your relationship. You may think she hates you because she doesn’t call, but the fact that she is still single could suggest she is taking some time to think about things. It doesn’t necessarily mean she is going to jump right into your arms if you apologize, but it does prove your love has remained strong enough to keep other guys out of her life.
These are just a few signs that your ex still loves you. Learning to look for clues like this can give you the confidence boost to take the risk of asking for another chance.
But no matter how nice or mean your ex is acting, you will eventually have to put your pride on the line to get her back. You don’t want to look back at your past and realize you missed the opportunity to tell her how you really felt.

Asking Your Ex Girlfriend Out
Once you get to the point where you and your ex girlfriend are talking and being friendly again, you begin to think about if you should ask them out. Obviously this is a tough decision because there are really only two outcomes…either they say "yes" and everything is good…or they say "no" and your relationship becomes very uncertain.
So how do you know when the time is right? Well for starters you should be listening to how she talks about you. If she uses the word "friends" to describe your relationship then you have more a lot more work to do. But if you start to feel the electricity building between you, and you are laughing and having "moments" together, then the momentum is definitely on your side.
What is the best way to ask your ex girlfriend out for the first time? No matter how well things are going with your ex since your breakup you still have to focus on impressing them. Don't remind them of the "old days" by taking them somewhere you have been a hundred times.
Get creative and come up with a fun and engaging activity that will take the stress out of your first date back together. Concerts, sporting events, and amusement parks are all good choices. A fun activity will make it easy much easier to pop the question. Start with something like "Amy, I've got 2 great seats for the Coldplay concert, and I was hoping you would go with me."
If there is any sparks of romance left then she will have no second thoughts about saying "YES". The key is to make an offer that she can't refuse.

The Secrets to a Happy Girlfriend
Many guys tend to outthink themselves when they are trying to win back their ex girlfriend. They look back on their relationship and try to identify all of the things they did wrong that led them to being dumped. This is a loser mentality because it focuses on the negatives instead of concentrating on the most important thing - which is making their girlfriend happy. If you can make a woman happy then no one will ever be able to compete with you for her heart. By satisfying her fundamental needs you will win her back forever.
Safety and Security
Your girlfriend has to feel confident and secure around you. But this doesn't mean you have to be a heavyweight boxer who knocks out every guy who looks at her. Security comes in many different forms. There is the emotional security of knowing she can share all of her thoughts with you. There is the trust she must have that you will always be honest and not take advantage of her love. Last but not least, you have to make her feel safe and confident in her life. Whether it is money concerns or family problems, you have to be the one she will lean on when times get tough.
Excitement and Adventure
It is easy to become complacent in a relationship and take tings for granted, but in order to keep the flames of passion burning strong you have to be spontaneous and exciting. We all have things in life we would like to try, and the longer your girlfriend wonders what life would be like without you the harder it is to get her back. Don’t rely on the same romantic efforts to work for every occasion. Mix things up and help her to expand her life experiences. Never let her get bored to the point she questions your relationship.
Achievement
The most fulfilling lives are filled with constant cycle of goal achievement. The most common goals are centered on school, career, family, and personal dreams. Find ways to help you girlfriend achieve her goals. Celebrate her achievements and give her encouragement to reach her expectations. In some cases she will only need your emotional support, but other times you might have to do more. In any case, she will slowly begin to believe she can do anything with you by her side. This is where your relationship will truly flourish.
Why did your ex girlfriend leave you? Most likely it is because you failed at one or more of these simple things. But instead of wasting time looking back on where you went wrong, work on ways to show her they you understand her needs and start to rebuild the trust you have lost.

It Is Up To You
If you have done any research on ways to get your ex girlfriend back then you have undoubtedly come across many people in the same situation as yourself. You see them on the internet forums and social websites looking for help from anyone who will listen. But what are they really looking for? For most of them they want an instant fix for a problem that has been probably been growing for several weeks.
No matter what advice you read, the bottom line is that you need to take action to see results. You will never find a solution to win back your girlfriend's love that doesn’t involve some work on your part. The more you understand that the pressure is on you the better your results will be. Looking to others to repair your relationship can help, but ultimately you have to take control.
What is your game plan? What are you going to do today to make her see how special your relationship really was? Now is the time to build your strategy and put it to work. If you don’t know where to start then get some ideas here, but remember that you can’t be scared to make the first move. Waiting for the perfect time is just an excuse to avoid dealing with the issues. Procrastination will not only delay your results, but it gives someone else the chance to move in on her.

Work Smarter – Not Harder
One thing to think about when pursuing your ex is how to maximize your efforts. Don’t make the mistake of thinking the more times you call or pester them that they will eventually give in. You are much better off creating mystery or intrigue about your motives.
You want your ex girlfriend to think about you in a positive way, and this won’t happen if you are constantly in their face. Be subtle with your efforts and try to use subliminal psychology. Think of ways to remind them of how good things were without coming right out and saying it.
If you are successful then they won’t be able to get you out of their mind…even if they are trying to forget you!

Why Did She Leave You?
The most overwhelming feeling after you have been dumped is helplessness. Many guys are completely confused as to why they were dumped, and this leads to frustration and low self-esteem. These feelings create a panic mode where they do stupid things to try and get their ex back. But you don’t have to go crazy in order to win back love. In fact, the more you stay cool and focused the better your results will be.
No matter how confusing your ex girlfriend’s actions may have been, unless you understand the real reason they left you won’t know how to fix the relationship. You may find out that they left you for another man. This is hard to swallow but it doesn’t mean you can’t get them back in your life. The bottom line is you have to attack the problem at its source. Not understanding what went wrong leaves you blindly throwing darts at a wall.
In most situations there are 5 main reasons you got dumped. Sometimes there is more than one cause, but more than you likely you can guess which one was the most serious. Think about what caused things to get to the breaking point and brainstorm ideas for reversing the damage. You may have to pull some gimmicks to get her to talk to you again, but once you are in you will need to concentrate on the main issues. No amount of flowers, gifts or begging will solve your problems until you get her to see that you have made changes to fix the biggest conflict between you.

Does She Still Love You?
Even the hardest break ups can be more the result of bad timing as opposed to a change in feelings. So many factors can cause a split in a relationship. Things like money, work, and social influences are some of the most common reasons. Determining what caused your ex girlfriend to leave can give you a good idea of how permanent the break up will be. One thing you want to figure out is if you think she still loves you. If this powerful emotion remains then the future may be brighter than you think.
It is not always easy to tell if she still loves you when you are constantly bickering or avoiding each other, but there here are some things to consider. If the fight was about real-world problems such as money, time spent together, and work then it is likely you connection was only weakened by these issues. The love is still alive beneath these distractions, but there will need to be changes if things are ever going to work out.
If your break up was the result of cheating or criminal activity, then the future is not as bright. These behaviors are an indicator that the trust and respect has been lost in your relationship. This is not to say that it is impossible to overcome their effects, but the feelings of love have dwindled to a point where she is willing to risk your future together. You will have to work smart and creatively to win her back in these circumstances.
There is always potential when love still exists in a relationship. While it may not always be evident when you are fighting with your ex girlfriend, if you preserve this passion for one another than your odds are much better to find a solution. If you are still passionate for her, but fear that the love has been lost, start from the beginning and prove to her that you are still the man of her dreams.

What Does Your Ex Girlfriend Want?
Fixing a break up is a lot like like solving a mystery. For every reason you know why your ex girlfriend left you, there are usually a handful of other reasons you don't know. Sadly, most people don't have the heart to tell an ex lover the full reason they left. They either don't think the other person can handle it, or they simply don't want to cause any more conflict. But as delicate as your self-esteem may be, it is crucial to find all of the reasons your ex left. Here are some you may not be aware of.
Trust
If she doesn't trust you then her life with you will always be filled with stress and anxiety. Think back to your time together and see if you can identify any incidents when you let her down. If you have already thought of some, then you desperately need to find a way to rebuild the trust between you.
Fun
This one may not be as obvious but it is important. Did you have FUN together? Long term relationships can get boring if we are not creative. If you spent the majority of your nights together watching movies or playing video games then it is likely she is looking for more excitement in her life You need to impress her with a fun night that will prove how much fun you can be. Here's a hint...skip the movies.
Passion
If your love life became stale near the end of your relationship, then your break up may have been the result of a lack of passion. This is not something you can fix overnight, but you can start the rebuilding process right away. The key is to be romantic and build her curiosity. Don't throw yourself at her. Put some thought into a long-term romantic strategy and keep her on her toes. Once you have caught her interest you need to keep teasing her so that the passion will build.
These are just some of things that girls rarely bring up when the break up with guys. It usually isn't because they aren't aware of the problem, but rather, they don't want to hurt your feelings or spark a confrontation. This is why you'll need to be honest with yourself and do some detective work. You'll never be able to get your ex girlfriend back unless you know exactly why they left.

Staying Positive
It can be so easy to stay depressed after a break up. Your friends and family members all feel sorry for you and the extra attention can be comforting. But in the long run, this "boo-hoo" attitude can ruin your chances of getting your ex girlfriend back.
Girlfriends look to their man to be the strong side of the relationship. Whether or not it is fair, the man is expected to carry the relationship through the tough times. If you think that acting depressed will invoke pity and win back your girlfriend, then you will likely be disappointed. You will probably be viewed as a weak person who can't provide the emotional support your ex is looking for.
Another reason to focus on positivity is the contagious effect it has on the people you interact with. This is important when trying to get back with your ex. You should appear confident and excited about the prospect of getting back together. You want her to smile and laugh when you are together, not feel sorry for how pathetic you have turned out.
Staying positive throughout the relationship healing process is vital to your chances to fix things. You could compare it to wild animals in that "only the strong survive". By keeping a positive outlook (or at least faking one) you will come across as a strong and confident person. This will make your ex take notice and be more open to giving you another chance.

Should You Date If You Still Love Her?
One of the hardest decisions to make after a break up is if you should date other people. You might be worried that this will send the wrong signal to your ex girlfriend. This is a natural reaction, but you should accept your break up for what it is. You are both single now and life does go on. That being said, here are some tips for dating again when you still love your ex girlfriend.
Be Honest
You should always tell your date up front that you are still getting over a relationship. This should be done by the end of the first date if you plan on seeing them again. You don’t want to get caught in a web of lies, and being honest about it upfront will relieve you of the responsibility.
You Can Still See Your Ex
Taking care of the honesty part will leave the door open for you to reunite with your ex if the opportunity arises. This means you can still talk to them on the phone or meet them out for lunch. One thing you want to be careful of though is the “friends talk”. If you really want her back, then keep things romantic. Otherwise it will spiral into a friendship.
Don’t Waste Time with a Trophy Girl
Going out with another girl just to make your ex jealous will probably end up being a big waste off time. You might get your ex’s attention, but the time and effort you put into to dating and playing games will leave you wondering if it was worth it. It is fine if you meet a girl who is fun to be with, but don’t look to date the hottest girl just to show her off. All this does is send the wrong message to your ex.
You can date after a break up, even if you are still in love. But the key is to be honest with everyone, and do it only because you want to. Anything else will be more trouble than it is worth, especially if you want to get your ex back.

Sending Flowers After a Break Up
One of the most popular ideas people use to try to get their ex girlfriend back is to send them flowers. While it may seem like a good idea when you are desperate for a solution, here are some reasons why it probably won't work.
It Lacks Creativity
If you really want to "wow" your ex, then you are going to have to come up with something better. Flowers are nice, but frankly they have been done by millions of hopeless souls before you. Turn on your creative juices and come up with something that will make an impression.
It Might Be Embarrassing
If you are in the middle of heated break up, then it is likely that your ex has told her friends how she is "so done with you". If you send flowers to her work or school, then you actually create a situation where she has to decide how to respond in front of these same people. This creates a tense situation, and you could lose the effect of your surprise because of it. Worse yet, she might throw the flowers away just to make a statement!
Flowers Can't Talk
No matter how much you pray that flowers will buy you some breathing room, they can't replace the your spoken thoughts. At some point you are going to have to sit down with your ex and spill your heart to her. Too many people send gifts hoping that they will solve everything. The truth is that while they may open the door a crack, there is still a lot of work to do on your part if you are going to win her back.
Does sending flowers have a place in the process of healing a relationship? Sure - but they need to be utilized with some common sense. Never send them as your first form of communication after a break up. You will only have one or two chances to prove yourself worthy of consideration, and there are too many variables with flowers to count on them. If you have to use them, then send them after things are moving in the right direction. This way you'll know that they won't get tossed!

Contacting Your Ex Girlfriend
When you first try to contact your girlfriend after a break up, you need to have a strategy of what you are going to say. Simply picking up the phone and hoping for the best will most likely lead to regret.
Think about the message that you want to portray to your ex. Was it your fault that she left you? What factors were involved in the break up? Answering these questions will help you target your message appropriately. You need to be able to explain to her how things can be different and what you have done to change the problems you have experienced in the past. If you don’t have any solutions, then you need to brainstorm some before you call. Otherwise you won’t have any answers for the toughest questions.
The success of your dialogue will be influenced by the manner that you present your strategy. Remember to always be positive when talking to her. You need to portray confidence that things have changed and your relationship can succeed. Approaching with a positive tone will ultimately rub off on your ex. She will be less likely to be defensive, and more likely to open up to your suggestions.
Finally, you need to prepare for a long-term solution. Your relationship did not bloom instantly overnight. Rather it was built through a series of fun times and trust-building activities. On that same token, you can’t expect to fix your break up right away. You will have to rebuild the trust and confidence slowly over time. This is why it is important to shoot for smaller goals at first. Work on reestablishing the lines of communication first, then you can start to talk about the future. Fix today’s problems before you tackle your future together.
So in short, think about what you will say to her, portray yourself with confidence, and work slowly. All of these things will help build a successful foundation to get your ex back.

Attract Her Back with the Real You
Desperation is a natural reaction when your girlfriend breaks up with you. You might feel a sense of panic which leads to trying everything you can to get her back. While it is understandable to try and get your ex back, you should also be careful not to sacrifice your values or change too much.
The negative of spending too much effort on changing your “old ways” is that you could attract your ex back under false pretenses. In other words, if you adjust your personality solely to get her back, then she will not be attracted to the real you. Once you become more comfortable in the relationship, then your real personality is likely to show through again which will bring up the problems that led to your initial breakup.
The bottom line is that it is okay to make changes if you are trying to improve yourself or correct faults. But you should never change your lifestyle just to impress someone. These types of changes are not healthy for you, and eventually the fakeness will show through and you will be back where you started.

Getting Your Foot in the Door
Once you are talking to your ex-girlfriend again, you will have an opportunity to demonstrate your best qualities. Instead of trying to rekindle things with her, I recommend that you show exactly how much fun you can provide her. To make it simple, just treat her like a first date who you are really attracted to.
This means that you follow the basic attraction and seduction techniques. For instance, you should be cocky/funny, show confidence and act like you don't care about the outcome of your interactions. If you do your job correctly, she'll start to realize that she's missing out on a golden opportunity. Once this happens, she'll start to pursue you!

Don’t Bother with Revenge
Trying to get revenge on an ex girlfriend will never do any good for you or anyone else. You may think that it is the only way to get over her but it is not. The more you hate the person, the more you are prolonging your agony. Ex girlfriend revenge only causes you stress and anxiety. Worst of all, things could change swiftly, and you may find yourself regretting your action in the future.
Instead of nurturing the hurt that you feel, you should look at the brighter side of life and move on. Dwelling on that revenge can only stir up the ashes of your own hurt and resentment. These feelings will prevent your from working on any solutions to your relationship that might help get your ex girlfriend back. Instead of wallowing in the pain and trying to transfer it, work on dealing with it and improving yourself. You will have the best chance to get over your breakup and possibly even winning back your lover if you eliminate the negativity surrounding your relationship.
Bear in mind that you are causing more harm to yourself than the other person. Revenge will never share the pain, but it will just increase it. Always consider that poorly conceived ex girlfriend revenge plots usually wind up making you look bad, and thus making you feel worse.

Win Her Friends Over
Girls form pretty strong bonds between their friends, and they tend to talk much more openly about their relationships than guys do. Because of this, it is likely that your ex girlfriend's buddies know a lot about you. They know why she loved you, but they also know why you broke up. This information can be dangerous if you try fight against her friends.
If you are suffering through a tough breakup then her friends are probably against you. They want their friend to be happy and so they see you as the enemy. You might get the "evil eye" or a snide giggle when you around them...just expect it. What you don't want to do is give them anymore reason to hate you. Calling them out will only make things worse. Instead, you should be as nice to them as possible. Use some of the same tactics on them as you would your ex girlfriend. Little things like compliments can help you break down the some of the many barriers between you and your ex.
Winning back your ex girlfriend involves all facets of her social circles. She has to feel comfortable around you if you are going to succeed. This is why you need her friends on your side.
