Everybody has been there at some point.
You've broken up with your ex, and you're both hurt and confused.
You still love them dearly and you want them back, but everything you seem to do just makes it harder and harder as they become even more distant with you.
In figuring out how to get back with an ex, many people make the same common mistakes.
Want to know what they are? You may be a very rational person normally, but if you've just broken up with your ex, panic can set in extremely quickly.
I remember one particular breakup of my own.
I thought I was okay with it, and I was, for about ten seconds.
After that it was just blind panic.
I became desperate, and thought that the best way to get them back was to let them how much I loved them, as often as possible.
That was the first mistake I made in figuring out how to get back with an ex.
You may have done this yourself; began calling your ex up frequently to tell them how much you love them.
I even begged for my ex to take me back.
The problem was, because I was panicking, I thought calling them up all the time and begging was the key to winning them back.
At the time I thought it was a brilliant idea, but I never realised how silly I must have looked.
What I should have done at the time when learning how to get back with an ex and what you should do now is to stop contacting them.
It sounds simple to do, but in reality, it's tough.
You must resist the urge to contact them for a couple of weeks and use this time to analyse your relationship and think about all the things that were wrong with it.
Focus especially on the things that you might have done to contribute to the end of your relationship.
By not contacting your ex, you are giving yourself the time to overcome the panic and become rational again.
It will also make you appear calm to your ex, which in turn will make you appear more attractive to them.
By giving them space, they'll feel as though you respect them.
They may even begin to miss you.
