Almost every person who has been in a relationship knows that it takes a few things to get somebody who broke up with you to want to get back together again. People can use a number of tricks and techniques to get their ex back into their life and back in a relationship, however, not all of these tricks work, and sometimes, can actually cause you to ruin your chances of getting back together. Here are a couple of these tricks that you should try to avoid in order to successfully get back together with your ex.

Don’t Be Too Eager

Showing your ex that you are very eager to get back together can be an indication that you are becoming more desperate in your actions, and is a good repellant for a lot of exes. If you don’t want to push your ex away, avoid being too eager to get back together by throwing yourself at him, or by simply trying to please him too much to the point that you are willing to do everything that your ex will ask of you, regardless if it’s against your better judgment or not.

Don’t Be Too Friendly

Being too friendly with an ex can be a problem, especially since you will always be harboring romantic feelings for your ex. By being too friendly with your ex will only expose you to some unwanted situations that you may not want to deal with while both of you are broken up. Keep in mind that normal rules that apply to couples don’t apply to you anymore, so you might be caught in awkward moments that can lead you to do some ill-advised actions, such as acting like a jerk towards your ex’s suitors. This will only put you in a bad light with your ex, and might actually ruin your chances to get back together.

Don’t Use Jealousy As A Means

Forcing your ex to get jealous by dating another man or woman will not make your ex want to get back together with you, but rather, it can drive your ex away from you and into the arms of another. Always remember that this trick rarely works, and even if you did succeed in making your ex jealous, there is a higher probability that your ex will try to retaliate by making you jealous instead of simply succumbing to your ploy and get back together with you. If that happens, then you would be caught simply trying to outdo each other, and this never ends happily.

Don’t Force Your Ex

Pushing your ex to want to get back together with you poses a lot of problems for you. For one, your ex will definitely feel annoyed and irritated if you tried to force him into getting back together with you. If your ex feels that way, then you can kiss your chances of rekindling goodbye. Another problem would be that even if your ex does gets pushed to agreeing to get back together with you, he will not stay in your relationship for very long since it wasn’t really a decision that he made for himself.

You want your ex to truly want to get back together with you, and forcing him to do so is not the way to do it.
