You are probably feeling pretty bad these days since your ex girlfriend decided to dump you.
I know that sounds harsh and you probably didn’t deserve losing the girl of dreams who just made everything so much better for you. Getting dumped by your ex girlfriend, the woman you love and thought loved you, certainly will play havoc on your emotions.
So, yes, you have good reason to feel bad about her leaving you.
But what about your ex girlfriend? Does she feel the least bit guilty for leaving you?
Is she feeling like the world has about to come to an end and is having to drag herself out of bed to face the day?
Or are you wondering why she doesn’t seem to carry the same emotional burden you have been hauling around all these days as you struggle with why all those special times with your ex will be no more.
“Why doesn’t she feel guilty?” you ask yourself over and over. She precipitated the breakup. As you look back, you can still hardly believe it.
The Ex Comeback Road You Shouldn’t Travel
My goal here is not to make you feel worse about the shock of what has happened to you. So we are not going to travel that road, though I bet some of you deep down inside would like to think about some clever and devious ways to make your ex feel guilty about what she did to you.
They have a name for that, right? It’s called Payback. Sound like a good idea? I sure hope you said No!
This is not about you coming up with ways to remind your ex girlfriend that she did something terrible to you, yet you are willing to forgive her.
You don’t ever want to play the victim role.
Nor do we want you to focus on the past. Living in the past and constantly thinking about what could have been isn’t going to bring your ex girlfriend running back into your arms full of kisses and apologies.
What this article will be about is trying to turn your mind away from making your ex feel bad. In the long run that will only make you feel worse. It’s really about you helping this woman you love see a potential future that she could be missing out on.
Dragging your ex girlfriend through the corridors of guilty memories and creating waves of uncertainty by manipulating her emotions is not what it’s about. In almost all cases when guys try to play those kind of mind games with their lady, it only serves to backfire.
What you need to employ is a more positive and pragmatic approach to convincing your ex that the relationship with you deserves more than reconsideration, but is something they cannot proceed without.

What Are Your Chances of Getting Your Ex Girlfriend Back?

Utilize social media and your friend base to convey little messages to her that you are getting along just fine, but that you still have the highest regard for her.

4. Utilize “Fear of loss” To Create Guilt of the Bread Crumb Type
What do you suppose strikes fear in the heart of your ex girlfriend?
Is it her fear of you becoming unglued and calling her and just letting her have it?
Nope.
What Are Your Chances of Getting Your Ex Girlfriend Back?
Take the quizIs it Your Ex’s Fear that you are out there suffering and experiencing such pain that you are about to drive your car off the cliff?
Nah, she is not going to really be that worried about that. She wouldn’t hook up with a guy who thinks that way.
Will it be your girlfriend’s fear that she will never find anyone like you…the guy who was once her soulmate and who she thinks about when her head hits the pillow?
You got to be kidding if you think she is in that state of mind!
Nope, you need to strike at something else to get your ex girlfriend thinking that she may have made a HUGE mistake by cutting you loose.
And what that is all about is creating some subtle jealousy traps. You want her thinking, even in the most remote part of her mind, that either another woman is circling you and about to put the moves on you. Or that you are taking in the scenery of beautiful woman and just might be getting serious about the romance.
Jealousy can be a powerful motivator and it can open you ex girlfriend’s mind in seeing you in a different light. Your value can shoot way up.
But I have a warning. Be careful not to overuse jealous. It can pay off big time, but it can backfire.
My best advice is go get my Guide that walks you through how to do all this stuff, without it blowing up in your face
5. Help Guide Her To See the Big Picture of Returning To You
We are all often better off when we are pragmatic and clear thinking.
Do you think your girl is clear thinking right now?
I am banking on that she is not. Not entirely. But she will get there in the future. So you have time to work your strategy.
If you have a lot to offer to your Ex and you think she just has not been ruled by logic, then you need to help shape her mind. She might be at this very moment, still very emotional about something that caused the breakup. She could be rolling it over and over in her head. Fussing over it. She might be having imaginary conversations with you. Sizing up what to do.
And buddy, if she is running those thoughts through her mind in her state of bitterness and resentment, you are not winning many of those imaginary debates!
But that is OK for now. That is par for the course in the world of breakups.
Just know that she is in no state to make a good decision. Your ex is not of the mind to be convinced of much of anything that looks and sounds like rational advice.
But guess what?
No matter how she bends her anger, there are certain truths she cannot escape.
She may have a lot already invested in you. In a way, the two of you share an interdependent state of experience.
I am assuming you both have a good amount of time invested in each other. Eventually your ex is going to arrive at a state where she is thinking with the left side of her brain (i.e. the logical and reasoning side) when it comes to sizing up if she would ever give you another chance.
But I am guessing she is not quite there yet.
So you need to help her get there. She need some balance in her life just as much as you do. No Contact helps with that. But importantly, she needs to see the cost/benefits of being with you again. You will need to find some clever ways to weigh that in your favor.
In your quest to win her back, you need to work toward cleaning the slate of negative things she is thinking about as it regards you. You want her to focus on your positive qualities. She wants to feel safe and secure. She wants to see that your values align with hers. She probably needs to feel (and this could be really important to her) that there is a long term future with you if she returns to you and that she is not wasting her time.
So you can’t let her down in those important areas.
She will naturally gravitate to considering revisiting the relationship if you can get her to see the true, renewed portrait of YOU. Its based on interdependence theory.
Your ex, just as yourself, always have other options…other paths you can take. We all eventually move in the direction of things and choices that benefit us.
Now, she might not be acting this way now. But that is her emotions talking.
Your mission is to counter that emotional programming going on in your ex girlfriend’s mind and help her see the way.
