Get Ex Back Without Head Games


Thu, 19th February, 2009 - Posted by Johnnie S Laney


When you have broken up with your lover, you come up with many ideas on how to try to get them back in a relationship with you. Some of these ideas are to use tricks to get them back, like pretending to have a new love interest to make them jealous.

Many of our ideas involve playing head or heart games with your ex. Things like trying to naturally bump into them at a restaurant where they are eating. This type of pressure creates more problems than it solves. You can get your ex back without such tricks.

Instead of games, you can keep in touch and keep them thinking about you using natural and honest methods. One approach is to email them on a regular basis with a joke of the week or a news article they might like. Add in a short note about how you’re doing or that you are thinking of them and leave it at that. You are in touch without stalking!

Another thing you can do is figure out whether or not you want to date during the time you are trying to get your ex back. It can be good to do so for your self esteem and to keep you from moping around. But don’t try to make your ex jealous. Playing games like this can backfire if you do get back together.

In the same vein, don’t be jealous if you find your ex is dating others. They aren’t cheating on you, since they called the relationship off. And, when they date others, they might just start to feel nostalgic about how comfortable it was to be with you.

However, if you do find out they are dating, you can learn something from the type of people they are dating. If you were very business oriented and practical, and they are dating artistic types, you may need to develop or show other traits to help win your ex back.

During the time when you are broken up, work on yourself. Make sure you are exercising not just to look good but because it makes you feel more positive about yourself. Also, work on your mind as well as your body. By spending time on self improvement, you become more attractive to your ex and to everyone else.

Doing a few simple things like this can help you to get your ex back without the gimmicks. If you can stay positive, friendly and focused, you can win your ex back better than if you are desperate and needy. And, if you learn some immediate reconnect strategies available at bookstores or on the internet, you can often take steps to get your ex back in days instead of months.

You have some really good advice. The most important time of the break up is the first month. This is when a lot of people play head or hear games like you say. All this does is push your ex away. The key is to pull them back to you. If they see that you have gotten over them after the break up and you are taking care of your self that will really get their attention.

Not bad stuff. I think your point on staying positive is the most important aspect. No one wants you back if you're not happy, confident, and thinking in a positive frame of mind.

Keeping positive is very important, I agree. It can be very hard to deal with an EX.

It's a bit of a paradox really. Everyone knows that the best thing to do after a breakup is to stay confident and positive, yet the very nature of a breakup leaves us emotionally drained, depressed and unsure of ourselves. When we need confidence the most, it's almost impossible to create.

I agree. What really matters is the ability to show your ex that you can get over the break up.
Be positive, be active and don't just cry all the day long.

Although we may be so heart broken and really want our ex back, do people forget that they have become an ex for a reason? I think its more healthier to encourage your readers to move on and not take on such desperate tactics to try and win an ex back.

Great article!

Its good that you have pointed out the fact that you have to eat something. Most people lose their appetite as a result of breaking up. I lost 10kg in 1 month which wasn't good.

Interesting… Really you shouldn’t be jealous when you see her with another person, even though you know she is no longer tied to you, its still not easy to overcome that especially if you still want her back.
