Breaking up is hard for people and the idea of how to get your ex back is common. Here are five ideas you can use, in practice or to spark other ideas. Acting is always better than being depressed.
Talk to her nicely: have you ever tried to get back at someone by trying to prove that you were right? If so, I can assume that she didn’t turn out well. Instead of being an overbearing brute, talk to him softly. He will let her know how he feels about her and in what direction he expects the relationship to go.
Write down all the things that make it special. Anyone can say things without thinking, but the romantic gentleman will take his time. Writing down various things that make her special is one way of showing her that she is worth thinking about. Obviously you have to give him the list. It’s okay if you’re nervous. Even if she seems upset when she takes the list, what she counts on is that you take it. It’s pretty much guaranteed that she’ll read it at some point, and then read it again. You just gave him tangible evidence that you may be worth being with.
Buy her a dog – Make sure she can handle a pet first. The dog will be able to show her affection when you are not around. Every time you do, you’ll earn some extra points. If you’re concerned that it might not be nice to use animals in this way, rescue one from a shelter. You could be saving a pet’s life and making someone else happy at the same time. Also, it shows that you are a caring person.
Pray – For those who believe in a higher power, prayer can really help. Often when going through a breakup, the bitterness makes it easy to forget that everything can be prayed for. In the same way, you can talk to someone at your place of worship. They will often have good advice and help point you in the right direction.
Go on a picnic together – it’s romantic and gives you a nice setting to discuss things peacefully. You choose the food and the place, beyond that, let her establish the topics of discussion. Remember, you can always go to another picnic.
