They say patience is a virtue, and so prior to starting you have to realize in your head that this will take some time. “Everything comes to those who wait,” may or may not be true, after all, you have to do something, but you can ruin any possibility of getting back together with an ex if you just jump in. As is often the case in life, the smallest actions often speak loudest. When you bump into your ex, be sure to look them in the eye and smile. Try not to start a discussion, do just enough to indicate to them that you’re thinking about them with body language only at this point in time. Eye contact must be nothing more than a very slightly extended glance, longer could be annoying to your ex, and no one likes being looked at all the time
Your initial conversation should be short and to the point (and pleasant!). Avoid talking for as much time as seems reasonable, but no more than 21 days or so, and avoid talking about anything too sensitive at this point. Being pleasant is very necessary, even if you think that they were responsible for your splitting up. The society we live in today often seems obsessed with a culture of blame, it’s always someone else’s fault. That’s life these days, but it’s suicide in this situation. Put the who’s guilty question aside, despite how hard you will probably find this to do.
On those times you meet in Starbucks for example, share some words, smile, make look them in the eye, but then move away as this demonstrates that you have control and that they are not as important to you as they may feel. Eye contact shows your ex that you still want them.

After a break up, we all want everyone to regard us as getting on with our lives, that we have no need for the other person and life’s fantastic. Don’t take that attitude with your ex. Even though you want to give the impression that you are unaffected by the split, independant and in control, this facade can lead to isolation as you give the impression of being increasingly unapproachable.
The hardest course of action is actually the most effective, and that is to compliment them about something. This instantly brings your ex on your side and makes them feel they have to respond in a like minded way. Compliments usually result in reinforcing a good image of an ex, which in turn attracts more positive feelings emotions. So by paying your ex a compliment, you are in fact encouraging your ex to have positive emotions about you, which often leads to both of you thinking back to the good times you had together.
It’s not just about how you act when you bump into your ex occasionally either. Retain
your presence. That’s to say, don’t let your public demeanour (which has to be happy etc., even though inside you’re hurting), be let down by [your appearance].. Whether male or female, this holds true, you must keep up how you look (in spite of how unappealing you may think you look!). Refuse to
let your appearance to be your undoing. It’s always tempting to just stop caring about yourself, indulge in to make yourself feel better and stay in and do nothing . The thing is, getting an ex back is a strategy, and part of that strategy is looking after yourself, because becoming a couch potato won’t win back an ex.
Probably the one most important element to enjoy success in getting back with an ex is very simple. Be a friend. Everything written above is true, but being a friend, showing yourself as a genuine person, is possibly the most critical. Do you understand how this is a little plan to get them coming after you rather than you chasing them? Due to the fact that it’s done in a spirit of support, there’s a strong possibility that you can get back together again. In this way, if they want to have another go you’ll know quite soon, and not, well, you made an attempt and as a minimum you avoided the embarrassment of pleading or looking desperate.
Awhile ago I believed my relationship had come to an end, much to my sadness. But these strategies made a significant contribution to me and my ex getting back together again, although they are not my strategies. It’s fear of humilliation and the ignominy of making ourselves look silly that often stops us achieving our goals. I also have little time for self help books that claim much and ultimately disappoint.
However, someone showed me TW Jackson’s “The Magic of Making Up”, which is a complete coherent map for getting back together with an ex. By applying the many appropriate strategies Jackson has put in his book, I got my wife back. It was a difficult time, but the book sure helped me not embarrass myself and gave me the tools I required to rediscover happiness once more.
