Are you still having a hard time to get over a guy you once had a relationship with? If so much time had passed and you had turned down so many great opportunities to be in a relationship with other - and maybe even better - guys then perhaps you're meant to have a second chance.
If so, here are the best tips to get your ex boyfriend you should know.
Tip #1: Do your research about getting back with an ex.
Reading this is just a start.
You should also look for other sources for excellent dating advice.
After all, you'll need all the ammunition you can get if it turns out that your ex is taken.
Tip #2: Do your research...
on your former boyfriend.
The next thing to do is to find out what your ex's up to these days.
Is he still living in the same place? Is he still working for the same company? What are the big changes that occurred in his life while you were apart? And most importantly of all, is he taken? Is there another girl he's dating right now or he's about to date? Had he any other exes since you? Knowing everything about him will help you better strategize on getting that second chance on your relationship.
Tip #3: Be discreet.
Now is not the time to tweet or post a shout out on your Facebook page about wanting a second chance with your former BF.
Having the whole world know about your intentions will only make things more difficult for you.
What if you fail (knock on wood that you don't)? The tips here are effective, but there are also many reasons that could prevent you from being reunited with your first love.
For that reason, it's just better that you keep your intentions to yourself for now.
Or if you want someone to know about it then choose wisely and preferably someone who may even be of help.
Tip #4: Don't go straight to the point.
In a way, it's all about being discreet, too.
Once you have a chance to finally "bump" into your past BF again, you may feel tempted to just go straight to the point and ask him if you have a chance or not.
The urge to do so may be excruciatingly strong but if you're serious about being reunited then resist at all costs.
You have to take things slowly.
There's always the possibility that your guy's the once-burned-twice-shy type.
Tip #5: Be patient.
You may have thought that because he was once - or still - your one great love then he may feel the same about you.
So you were hoping that he'd take one look at you and he'd sweep you off your feet because he knows you're the one.
Unfortunately, things rarely happen that way.
You need to be patient and give each other time to reconnect.
You need to be friends again, in other words, before becoming something else.
