You've probably heard that it's "better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all." However, there's nothing stopping you from getting back the person you loved and lost. If you genuinely believe that your ex is the person you're meant to be with, here's how you can get back the guy who got away:

1. Make Sure That Your Situation is Different Now
Most of the time, when you break up with someone, there's a good reason behind it. That's why it's typically unhealthy to pine over your ex and try to get him back. However, under some circumstances, it's acceptable. Before you make any moves to get him back you have to remember why you two broke up in the first place and decide if things have changed enough for you two to work now. For instance, if you broke up because he wanted children and you didn't, you shouldn't get back together if your mindsets haven't changed. But if you broke up because he moved out of state, but now he's back, then go ahead and make him your man again!
2. Reunite with Him
If you two lost touch after the breakup, the first thing you should do is get back in touch with him. Don't kickstart your conversation by telling him you want to get back together. Take things slow by becoming friends again first.
3. Remind Him of How Happy You Once Were
Once you two are buddies again, you need to remind him of how happy you once were. Bring out old photographs from when you were dating. Take him to the diner that you used to visit together. Do whatever you can to reignite that spark.
4. Forgive Each Other
If you're going to get back together with an ex, you have to agree to put your problems of the past behind you. Don’t bring up old fights and yell about them for the second time. If you can't get over the way he treated you in the past, then you should rethink getting back with him.
If you're looking to engage your partner in intriguing conversations, why not try some hypothetical questions for couples? These fun queries will not only keep the conversation lively but also stimulate deep thoughts and potentially reveal insights about each other's personality and thought processes.
5. Don't Force Him to Date You
Don't guilt him into dating you again. You should only be with him if he wants to be with you. If you have to trick him into restarting a relationship, then you should move on to the next guy. A relationship should be based on love, not on obligation.

6. Look Pretty in Front of Him
There's never any harm in looking beautiful. Once you've recaptured his attention with your sparkling personality, you should reel him in by dressing your best. When he remembers that you have the whole package, he'll be dying to go on dates with you again. Then it won't be long until you're an official couple that can live happily ever after.
7. Admit That You Still Have Feelings for Him
If you still think that it's a good idea to go after him after you complete the other steps on this list, then you should admit that you still have feelings for him. You could either initiate a kiss or flat-out ask him to be your boyfriend. Do whatever you feel most comfortable doing.
If you lost the love of your life, there's nothing stopping you from getting him back. Have you been thinking about getting back with an ex lately?

A: But I can't do the whole sleepover/meeting my friends thing yet
Mabelle: Do not waste your effort thinking about ways to win him back. Focus on improving yourself, be a better version of yourself and attraction will follow. He will see a better version of the girl he first fell inlove him and he will come chasing after you.
A: He does really like me and wants to get to know me and I guess i should risk it to be with someone who I actually have a connection with
Whitttey: I do agree with Avatar Roku; "If love is real it finds a way," but in most cases guys dont change. You should always keep in mind what he did to make you guys break up the first time and always remember that he will always be capable of making the same mistake twice.
Eliseyboo24: I I just recently got out of a long distance relationship and it hurts to see my ex boyfriend talking to girls online. I really want to get back with him even if he's talking to other girls I still think he's the one for me. :/
Amouna: I definitely agree and would do all of these, but I'm happier now with someone else. Hahahah but I've tried these things before and they do work . Except I honestly do have a think to never going back to an ex again.
A: I can't be intimate with someone because what if I fall in love with this person?
A: Which is strange as that is something a guy would do in a relationship?
Maja: Once a cheat, always a cheat
A: He says that I'm the only one he's ever been drinking with? Also I think he's a bit confused and we both need some space away so I've told him he needs to have some space and that I do really care about him and I understand that we can take things slow but
