Relationships give a euphoric and wonderful feeling. So when the relationship comes to an end, it is natural for most of us to want to get an ex back. The fact is that most relationships can be salvaged because a good portion of break-ups are as result of misunderstandings. A lot of advice and methods have been put forth on how to get your ex back. Some are good and some are drastic, but below are the best ways to get your ex back without looking desperate and pathetic or resorting to drastic measures.

Love Yourself

It is common knowledge that when you are feeling good and confident about yourself, then you are more attractive to others. It is common for people to feel sorry and blame themselves after a break up. Wallowing in a pity party is bound to put off your ex. Instead invest in yourself and make a conscious effort to remain positive about getting back your ex. Positive people yield positive results.

Exercise and remain fit

Usually people tend to gain weight after a break up if they are emotional eaters. If you make it a point to exercise and keep fit even after your break-up, your confidence and self image will soar. When your confidence is up and you feel good about yourself then you are more attractive. You can then approach your ex and try to patch things up as best you can.

Learn from your mistakes

A good pointer is to try and find out exactly why the relationship broke down the in the first place. When this information is clear, you can then both sit down and find a solution to try and correct this problem and make a pact to ensure that the mistakes will not be repeated.

Jealousy won’t work

Most of us hold the mis-conception that if we make our ex’s jealous enough they will come running back to us. This is bound to have the opposite effect especially if you want them back. You want him/her to miss you and view you as precious and see himself as invaluable in your life. Trying to make him jealous may result in him hating you and then the relationship is unfixable.

Don’t rush your ex

When the relationship comes to an end, it is normal to feel a sense of urgency in trying to repair the break down. The worst thing that you can do is to try and push your ex back into the relationship when they are not ready. All this will achieve is to push them farther away. The best move is to allow them time and space to sort out their feelings and get over the pain.
