After some time that you feel that you are on your road to full recovery and wants to get your ex back because you feel that the relationship is worth bringing back, then think first and formulate a plan. It would not work if you beg, make yourself miserable and pathetic just to win back your ex. Here are some tips that can help you get your ex back:
1. Start a pleasant conversation. Always start it off with a positive note like asking how she/he is doing, what keeps him/her busy nowadays. These simple questions might be the "ignition" to rekindle the fire.
2. Be a good friend always. Show him/her that you are a trusted and loyal friend, but take precautions that he/she might take it as your desperate attempt to win him/her back.
3. Tell him/her that your failed relationship is entirely your fault. It is your mistake that the relationship didn't work out. Still. It is important not to tell her/him at this point of time to take you back and start all over again.
4. It takes time and patience to get what you want. Pay attention to his/her needs. In this way, he/she might realize that you are really a prized catch that she/he should not slip out of his/her fingers.
5. Do not make the same mistake again if you have been given a second chance. Take good care of that opportunity to catch up with her/him. Nourish that love and turn it up into an everlasting one.
Remember that every human being deserves to be loved and respected. With this important concept in mind, always maintain a positive and cheerful outlook no matter what happens. Good luck!
