It's a bitter sweet situation; You want your ex to come back, but not before they understand exactly what they put your through in the first place.
You not only want to them to come back, but you want them to come crawling back on their hands and knees, begging to be accepted.
Well, the techniques for something like that are different for men and women, so we'll cover both bases.
As always, it is ladies first.
Show interest in his friend Nothing will grab his attention more than you becoming interested in one of his friends.
It doesn't have to lead to anything, and you don't want to mislead the friend too far.
Do it just enough to let your ex know that he is not on your top priority anymore.
Suddenly, he'll come running to your side trying to get him back into your priority list.
"Confide" in his family Talk to his brother or sister about how you're not interested with their brother anymore.
Make them promise not to mention it to him.
You know what that means, right? They're going to go back and tell him everything.
This plants false seeds in his head and forces him to find ways to get your attention again.
The silent treatment Sometimes it isn't what you say; it's what you don't say that truly gets his attention.
If he is doing everything in his power to get your attention and you're not responding, it leaves him wondering: Is it working? Should I do more? Should I do less? He'll be on his knees in no time trying to win you back.
Give him serious competition If he knows that there is someone else in your life, he'll immediately begin to compare himself.
He'll be plagued by his own insecurities and he'll go out of his way to prove to you and himself that he's better then the new guy.
Tell him you're serious about someone else, and watch the sparks fly.
Guys, this part is for you.
Move on This works on both ends.
If she thinks you have moved on with your life, she'll start to wonder what this new girl has that she doesn't.
She silently will compare herself, and then set out to show you that she can do more for you than this new girl.
When she does, don't make it easy for her.
"Things are different now!" If she tries to get your attention, just let her know that things aren't the way they used to be.
If she feels like you're truly different, she'll do whatever she can to get the "old you" back.
Shed a tear This one is a classic.
One tear is all it takes to show them that they hurt you.
She'll be so overcome by the fact that you care about her that much that you cried for her, but was manly enough to stop the tears after only one fell.
