There are so many people out there who broke up with their girlfriend or boyfriend and feeling like their entire world just collapsed. It is a natural response to a very difficult emotional experience, so if you are one of those people, thinking how do I get back with my ex, know that you are not alone, and that there are ways to reverse the situation.
If the breakup was recent, the best thing to do is to take a step back and not communicate with your ex for a while. In this time, think about the reasons you want to get them back. Is it because you were really good together or is it because you feel lonely? You can even make a list of good things and bad things about your ex, or a list of pros and cons about getting back together.

If you come up to the conclusion that you really want a second chance, keep the non-communication routine. If you find new hobbies, start going to the gym or take a course in Spanish, your ex will surely hear about it from a mutual friend. He or she will get curious about you and wonder why you are not contacting them. Expect a call after a few days, they most likely will not be able to resist the urge to call you and see how you are doing.
If the breakup was weeks or months ago, there is still a chance. Start with a text massage or a short phone call. Tell your ex that you heard a song that reminded you of them, and just ask how they are doing. Don’t make it a long call, just a few minutes of chatting. Do not ask to meet just yet, let them stew for a little while. Wait at least a week before the next call (unless they will call first). Then you can offer to meet for coffee (no drinks!), and keep it short, for an hour or so. Say you need to be someplace else, even if it’s not true.
This will make your ex crazy, as they will think about what you are doing, or whom you are meeting with… From this stage, the ball is in their court, and they will probably call you to ask to meet again. On the second time you meet, try to be friendly and communicative, but don’t encourage a lot of physical contact. Finish the meeting with a small kiss on the cheek, it will make them want more.
All of this will surely make your ex to realize that they want you back. If not, then at least you will know that you tried your best. You can read more tips here: Winning your ex girlfriend back and getting married.
