You’ve just been dumped and I’m here to tell you that it’s not the end of the world, so put away the tissue box madness and the tub of ice- cream because all that’s going to do is “hit” your thighs and you surely don’t want that happening. Now, since you’ve put away the tissues and the tub of ice cream, it’s time to formulate a plan on how to get ex back.

Sounds like one of those dastardly plans that you see Wile E. coyote use to catch the Road Runner well, we all know how that ends but it’s not like that at all. This plan is not about him, moreover it’s about you. Firstly, stop being “whiny”, asking desperately for attention, and trying to make him feel sorry for you. That’s not going to work. He broke up with you, so you need to show him that you’re a strong independent woman and that you’ll do perfectly fine after the break up.

Secondly, you need to break off contact just for a little while and focus on yourself. Look awesome! Be awesome! Get a whole new look and try stuff that you were afraid of doing because you thought your ex wouldn’t approve, style your hair, wear clothes you normally wouldn’t, explore yourself. Keep in touch with his friends, go out with your girls, travel, expand your social circle and soon he’ll begin to notice you.

So don’t be, for the lack of a better word ‘stuck-up” when he comes around and he will. Be friendly now that the ball’s in your court. Keep trying and don’t give up because it’s not over. If you’ve hurt him then apologize. If he was wrong, let him know that you forgive him and you’re willing to move on from that. Focus on what went wrong together and make those changes. You’ll have him fall in love with you all over again.
