There are many ways to get an ex back but, before you decide which ways to use you need to know what will work and what will not work.
So let us take a look at some of the ways to get an ex back that wok and compare them to ways that don't work.
The first thing to do after you have gone through a break up is to stand back and evaluate the situation.
Start by taking a good look at yourself and determine if you really do want to get your ex back, or if it is just human nature making you want something you can't have.
Once you determine that it is not human nature driving your desire to get your ex back you can start with ways to get an ex back that will work.
The first mistake that many people make when the break up first occurs is to hound their ex trying to get them to talk, call back, answer text messages and well, you get the idea.
All this does is drive your ex further away, instead give your ex space after all they just went through the same break up you did and are in just as much pain as you are.
What I mean by giving them space, is to cut off all communication with then for a while.
This will be very hard to do but, needs to be done and is the first step in just one way to get an ex back.
If you do cut off all communication, you may be surprised to see that your ex will soon be calling you.
Why would your ex call you? Simple, human nature, curiosity drive's people to do things that they normally would not do, your ex will be curious as to why you stopped hounding them and, soon or later, that curiosity will drive them to pick up a phone, send a text message, or email you.
Now, during this period of time when you cut all communication don't just sit around pouting or feeling sorry for yourself, get out, start doing things with your friends that you didn't do much with while you were in the relationship.
This will help you keep your mind off of the break up and may help with the depression, and, if you and your ex have the same friends word will get back to them that you are having a good time without them.
(Again raising curiosity) Another thing you will need to do during this time, is to try and determine what went wrong, what did you do or not do to cause the break up.
Once you know what it was you need to admit to it and when the time comes, when the communication lines are reopened, apologize sincerely for whatever it was you did wrong.
Even if you are not entirely to blame for the break up it is best if you just bite the bullet and take the blame, if you don't, you may find yourself back at square one.
Once your ex is willing to start to talk again, take it slow, don't try to hash things out all at once, at this point you are trying to establish a new relationship.
(The one you had is gone, it disappeared when the break up occurred and cannot be reestablished.
) Be friends first and slowly start to build a new relationship, it will take time but, it can be done just remember the old saying patience is a virtue.
