If you are determined to get your ex back you will first need to make slow and careful contact with him or her. When the time is right, be sure it’s not too soon, you will have to have a face-to-face talk with your ex where you will raise the subject of getting back together. It is crucial that you handle this meeting right if you are going to regain your partner.

Prior to this meeting you need to do some soul searching. Be as unemotional as you can and think about all the reasons for the break up form both sides.

Get out pen and paper and make a list of all the reasons for the break up. Don’t spare yourself. Look at the part you played and then decide what you are willing to change.

You need to know where you will compromise and, perhaps more importantly, where you will not. Be realistic. Don’t tell yourself that you will change some facet of your life or personality that you know in heart you cannot or will not change.

Don’t allow this introspection to depress you. You have faults, and so does everyone else. By understanding what aspects of your life and personality you are willing to change, and which you aren’t you arm yourself with powerful self-knowledge. Use this to gather confidence and strength.

On the day you are to meet with your ex make sure you are not rushed. Take plenty of time to prepare yourself physically and emotionally.

Build your confidence with plenty of positive self-talk. Look your best but don’t obsess. Go meet your ex feeling good about yourself and knowing that getting back together is not only right for you, but for your ex as well.

Keep the conversation light and casual at first. Ask about the same things you would have when you were still together, work, books, sports, mutual friends, that sort of thing.

Don’t be teary or grasping. When the time is right simply say that you know that some aspects of your personality can be less than desirable at times. Tell your ex that you have been doing a lot of thinking about your own foibles and that you realize that these things did contribute to the break up.

Do not say that you are willing to change in order to get him or her back. That will only make you look needy. Instead say that you are going to change in order to be a better person. That you are making changes in your life for your self, not for him or her. This is a critical moment. You have to appear to be strong and confident to your ex. At all costs avoid coming across as a needy, grasping person that is fit more for pity than for love.

Looking critically at yourself can be difficult. But if you can do it and emerge from this self-examination with renewed confidence in yourself and your ability to make needed changes you will certainly multiply your chances of getting your ex back into your life and you will become a better person as well.
