Obviously, if you are still reading this, you are desperate to save or rekindle your relationship, which is what led you to this article in the first place. However, if you are too persistent in your quest to get your ex back, he may feel like you are smothering him (or that he has a crazy stalker ex-girlfriend, definitely something you DO NOT want to be), thus causing your ex to distance himself from you. It is human nature to resist this kind of pressure, and you cannot fight human nature.

So, are you calling your ex too much, constantly texting him, or writing him e-mails? Are you pressuring him into feeling sorry for you? If you are doing these things, stop, now! And, most importantly stop asking yourself " What can I do to get my ex boyfriend back"; if you really want to get your ex back, then you need to start focusing on you ONLY.

First, you need to completely put him out of your mind, and start from scratch with not only your relationship, but with your own life as well. The very first thing you need to do is break off contact with your ex completely; this is the most important part of the plan so if you cheat at this the whole strategy will not work...so resist the temptation! Now, you are going to start doing your own thing. Ever wanted to learn to dance, or take a yoga class...do it! Have a chance to go away with friends or family...take a vacation then! This is going to be a challenging time, and its great to have a good support group who will also help you resist going back to your old ways. However, you can do it, the busier you are the better, it will keep him out of you mind and keep you happy!

Now, back to your ex. During your "you time" he is going to be neglected, and thus going to wonder what happened to make this girl who used to follow him around like a lost puppy not even give him the time of day. You have successfully just became mysterious (another note; in this time you will not want to update ever action in your life on your facebook, twitter, myspace, AIM, etc.), and now your ex is going to be interested in making contact with you to find out what you're doing and how you are feeling. And low and behold, now your ex misses YOU. See how one simple change of attitude can completely turn the tables in your relationship?

So, now you know the answer to "What can I do to get my ex boyfriend back", and how to fix any of the common mistakes you might have been making. By using this basic strategy, you can repair your relationship, and allow your ex to remember why he loved you in the first place (what guy doesn't love an ambitious girl who knows how to take care of herself?!).

It's simple really, just make your life your priority, and have your ex come second. You will have stopped smothering him and have made yourself mysterious. Play hard to get (But not too hard to get, you want this guy back in your life, right?) and let him make the first move, and you will have regained a piece of control in the relationship. And hey, though focusing more time on you, you will realize that this guy really isn't worth your time in the first place and that you can do so much better. Then maybe I my next article will not be about "What can I do to get my ex-boyfriend back" but rather, "What can I do to get my ex-girlfriend back."
