What Can I Say to My Ex to Get Him Back?

Want your ex-boyfriend back? There’s no perfect phrase. But these ideas might help.

Five things that could work:

  1. “I’m sorry for hurting you.”
  2. “You’re right.”
  3. “I’ve been difficult. I want to change.”
  4. “You’re the best thing that happened to me.”
  5. “I miss your cooking 😛”

Timing matters. Say the right thing at the wrong time, and it won’t work.

Context is key. What you say must fit you and your ex. Don’t just copy others.

People are unpredictable. Sometimes, weird works better:

  1. “Let’s switch bodies for a day.”
  2. “Sorry I broke your heart. We shouldn’t talk anymore.”
  3. “Still mad about that awful thing I did?”
  4. “Let’s not be friends. Let’s get married instead.”
  5. “Stop stalking my social media, please.”

Silly? Yes. But they might work. It depends on your ex, the situation, and the timing.

Bottom Line

No magic words exist. Be creative. Be efficient. Understand what your ex needs to hear. Watch your timing. Consider the context. Most importantly, be unique and witty.
