Breakups hurt. You want her back. Here's what to do:

  1. Set a deadline for your efforts
    1. Focus on your goals until she's rarely on your mind
      1. Send positive messages that make her smile

        Let's break it down.

        Choose a time limit

        Choose a time limit for your reconciliation attempts. This keeps you focused and prevents obsession. Simple.

        Get busy with your passions

        Having a purpose builds charisma and value. It's attractive. No mission is like an actor without a script. Set achievable goals and pursue them. This boosts your confidence and appeal.

        Reconnect with her

        Now, reconnect with her. Send fun, upbeat messages. Your job? Make her look forward to hearing from you. Provide a positive experience or useful distraction.

        Keep this up until she's comfortable with you again. You might find she'll meet up easily.

        Tip: Ask for a quick coffee. It's easy to accept.

        As your deadline nears, add some flirting. If she responds well, ask her out.

        Note: This works even if she's in a rebound relationship.

        How to Win Her Back From Another Guy

        To snatch her from another man:

        1. Ensure you compare well against him
          1. Stay in touch
            1. Show you're relaxed and happy with the situation

              The last point is crucial. Don't show bitterness or jealousy.

              Bonus: This might make the other guy act jealous, making you look better.

              Recap

              Don't chase indefinitely. Set a strict time limit for your efforts.

              Immerse yourself in positive activities matching your goals. This builds attractive qualities and reduces focus on your ex.

              Send smile-inducing messages from your new, productive outlook. Show her you're still interesting.

              Finally, invite her for coffee or an activity she'd find hard to resist.

              If she wants you back, she'll agree to meet. Simple.

              If not? Move on.
