All relationship varies and so is every breakup. However, here are some things you can do to help get him back.
Be pleasant and nice always. You may think shrewish attitude will get you what you want, that is untrue. If you nag, scold, complain or act rough, you are just reminding him of things he wants to get away from you. If you make things uneasy every time you see him, he will definitely only want to see you less and less.
If you can be nice, then any problems you had before the breakup likely don’t appear virtually as significant now. You might find yourself questioning why you weren’t more pleasing when you were together. Of course, you can’t change the past, but do not forget that later when you’re back together. Maybe you want to let him know that you have taken him for granted in the past. He believably took you for granted too, but don’t ask him to accept it now.
What if your ex has a new girlfriend now? Difficult to get over, right? If he has someone new in his life, he will surely be focusing and spending his time alone with that new girl, and that would be harder for you to be with your ex. Remember that you are part of the past, and not a priority. Ouch. But let him see what he is lacking and how great you are.
Can I get my ex back by hocus-pocus? Getting even is never the solution, it can even be toxic so do not ever go there. Misleading or even the most guiltless person could blowback later. It is completely nonsense figuring out how to get him back only to lose him a little while later because he finds out about your unrighteousness. Making him jealous is not a good idea. It could work but making him think you have moved on could also go back to you like a boomerang. If you truly feel the need to date and you are happy, then do so. It is unfair to your date if you are only going out with him to make your ex jealous. Games like this normally don’t work. You remain a better chance of getting your ex back if you are honest with yourself and others.
Good luck, dear.
