Getting your ex back does not simply happen by chance or luck, some people do it, yes.
But do they know how they did it? No.
There's a method to this and it is very important to do things right from the start so you can put yourself in the best possible position to get your ex back...
The first thing to note is that if you have just gone through a break up it is important that you first let your ex know that you accept their decision and think its for the best, even if you think its the worst decision ever...
This is to get everyone on the same page.
it also shows you are mature and can walk away without being needy or depressed.
Right now you may feel depressed but for now you do not want to show that in front of your ex, you have to keep your composure.
Another side note is to make sure you are not going out, getting a little too buzzed from alcoholic beverages and then texting or calling your ex...
This is equivalent to a relationship death sentence, it's not good and will not help your situation.
What you do need to do is sit back for a second and clear your thoughts...
It's important to go into this with a clear head...
Also, if you hang out with mutual friends that both you and your ex share, take them out one night while your ex is not around and show them a good time...
They will surely tell your ex about it making you look better...
