1. Understanding What Went Wrong

The first step to fixing something that is broken, is to figure out what went wrong in the first place. So sit down and really think about it. Analyze the relationship and try and figure out when and why the downfall began. Then ask yourself, if you are willing to do what it will take to fix it.Remember, that you will both have to make compromises and changes if it's going to work this time.

2. No Pressure

Now that you've decided that you want your ex back, how do you actually go about it? Here's what you should NOT do! Call him a thousand times, send him messages, stalk him on Facebook or real life...you get the picture. Doing this wil only make you seem needy as Micheal says and push him farther away. No one wants to be with a desperate soul, especially not your recent ex.

3. Take Time to Heal

This is the most crucial step for any breakup. Take a break! Do not call him. Do not text him.Do not meet him no matter how badly you want to. The fact of the matter is if you haven't healed from the breakup, you aren't going to able to make it work this time. Also, taking time off will help you realize if you really want him back or if you're just too used to him to not have him around. Michael advises to take out your calendar and mark a date three weeks from now. This will be C-Day or Communication day. Until then, lay off! Immerse yourself in hobbies and things you've always wanted to do but couldn't. If your ex tries to contact you, be civil but keep it short. Tell them you really have to go right now and that you'll get back to him when you can.

4. After Three Weeks

Michael says it's always better to re-initiate contact by calling your ex since sms-es can be impersonal and also make it hard to judge a person's tone. Also, preferably call them at a time when you think they won't answer (you heard me right). Leave a short nonchalant voicemail, something to the effect of "I just noticed that your favorite store has a sale and thought I'd tell you about it!". What you are essentially doing is letting him know that you're thinking of him without actually saying so. When he does call you back, remember to sound positive, upbeat and genuine! Keep it short and end it with a "I've got to run, but do you want to catch up for coffee later this week?".

If you're looking to engage your partner in intriguing conversations, why not try some hypothetical questions for couples? These fun queries will not only keep the conversation lively but also stimulate deep thoughts and potentially reveal insights about each other's personality and thought processes.

5. If He Agrees

Give yourself a pat on the back because it means that he is still interested in you. Remember to keep the positive attitude you had on the phone and have a good story or two to share.This is not the time to discuss your past and other dreary aspects of the breakup. If things start to get uncomfortable or weird, Michael says make an excuse and leave immediately. The longer you stay, the more damage will be done. If on the other hand, it is going well, let them be the one to ask to see to you again. Now it looks like you have a great chance of getting your ex back, but there's still more ahead.

6. Ex-Sex

Once the two of you have met a couple of times, the physical attraction is going to creep its way back. It's probably been a while for the both of you and you're longing for his famiiar touch, but Michael says do NOT have sex with him straight away. Here's why: Men like the chase. The more you make him wait, the more he'll want you. At the same time, do not use sex to get him back. There is a fine line between persuasion and manipulation and the latter is not going to give you what you want in the long run. Wait till the two of you have established that this is not going to be just sex, that the two of you are genuinely going to try and work things out and then give him the best sex of his life!

7. If None of These Work

We all learn from experience that nothing in life is a guarantee. All we can do is try and if it doesn't work, keep your chin up and move on. Remember, if it's meant to be, it will! All you need to do is be smart about the situation, take in all the tips you can and give it your very best try.

And those, dear ladies, are some great words of wisdom from the pro, Michael Griswold himself. Of course there is much, much more to it, than what I just described above, so if you really, really need to get your ex back, I highly recommend you read Michael's e-book which will give you the best detailed advice and make it so much easier for you to work out a perfect plan of getting your own ex back.

Where Thoughts and Opinions Converge

Hi guys my relationship is somewhat different to what is been said here. My ex and myself broke up nearly 3 months ago we love each other but he is grieving the loss of his mother and had just become so distant and broke up with me. we have seen each other a few times since and he just cries and says he can't see it working. Anyone been through something like this

Hello! I have no idea what to do. Me and my ex boyfriend have been together for 10 months and its been nothing but love, a little fighting here or there but that's about it. In the 9th month of our relationship, he wasn't able to see me for a bit because of school troubles. We currently go to different schools so we sometimes have gone weeks at a time without seeing each other, and it makes us both angry and we fight, but then the next time we see each other, everything resets and it's just like when we first met. Last time I saw him in person was back in January around the 25th and it went well, we even cuddled in the car. After that it was normal. Now, he has anger issues too so he's been getting more and more prone to anger after us not being able to see each other for more than 2 weeks (the most we've ever been separated) and he's been acting very bipolar. One night we fought and he told me to "F*** Off" and he called me a B****. I told him goodnight and at midnight he called me apologizing and he pretty much went back to calling me baby and stuff like that. Me and him always fell asleep over a Skype call together so he said that something was missing so he called. A couple days later, I called him and he seemed irritated so I asked him what was wrong and he just said that he wasn't in a good mood and stuff like that. That morning, we fought again and he dumped me. That night we talked about the breakup and he seemed pretty mad. We have have friends so I sent them screenshots of what he told me and that of course made him really mad and he said I ruined my chances of getting him back so I asked to call him for a bit. He gave me 5 minutes to say whatever I had to say, then he said "I truly loved you." And hung up. Now before that, we talked about our future and getting married and stuff and he told me we could be together forever. He told me he left me because a relationship was too much in his life and he didn't want to date. I of course cried and begged fot him to give me another chance the next couple days and sent long paragraphs telling him I was sorry and all that then the night before last one of his friends told me he liked another girl so I freaked out and texted my ex and stuff. Then last night he said he didn't want to be friends and he sent me a picture of him and the girl sitting next to each other and smiling. I responded by sending pictures of me and him together and he told me to not talk to him again. I told him that it wouldn't work out with her because she's christian and vegan, and he hates Christians and vegans. He told me "It may not work but at least it happened" then I called him immature then he stopped replying and I calmed down a little bit then genuinely thanked him for making me feel good about myself. The friend that told me about the girl said that he asked if they were together and my ex said "Yes and no." He blocked me on Instagram and went private but not Skype so I could text him if I wished. Today I told myself I wouldn't text him until the end of this week and I accidentally texted him today then apologized saying I meant to send it to someone else. At this point, I really want him back because I know we can wait until we go to the same school. However, I don't know how to get him back. I know he loves me, and I love him too. Please help.

Thanks (:

My bf and I started talking again awhile ago, it was mostly friendly for awhile but now I relize how much I want him back. He started complimenting me again and said he found some pictures from the beach and told me how great I looked in a bikini.......one problem......he has a girlfriend. He knows how much i hate her. I keep on flirting, but waiting is killing me! what should I do?!

First of all as probably I am too boring, nerd, geek, not easy to handle I had no exs. I only have a 9 years long courtship and a married life of 11 months and still going with the same person. But I had several break ups with him and that never lasted more than three weeks. We once had fight over Brazil and Argentina soccer teams leading to break up which lasted for 22 days and that was maximum silence between us. Sometimes we broke up to spice up the relation! Today we laugh at those moments but we really treasure them. I don't know why I have writing this but my heart wanted to share this. Thanks for the post.

Hey sheila I had a question about the three weeks without talking to him..well I really like this guy and I'm concerned about what I should say when cday comes because the last time we talked we had a really bad argumentand he basically said he'd talk to me again when he isn't mag at me anymore. what should I say on cday??

Thanks for posting this. I would like to be honest that my love story turns to be pathetic. Since I broke up and till now, I still love him the way that I first committed with him. I must say that probably I could practise this tips and getting my ex back for the long run. I wish I could have an happy ending then. Hopefully. Thanks so much sheila.
