Have you recently ended a relationship? Are you left wondering “Can I get my ex back even after they’ve moved on to another relationship?” Well, you can, so don’t waste time moping or feeling sorry for yourself because even though it’s gone now, doesn’t mean you have lost it for good. Below are some easy steps you can take to get your ex back even if they don’t seem to want to have anything to do with you any more.

1- The first thing you have to do to get your ex back is convince him or her that they still want you. Unless they are really really set on not seeing you, then there a lot of things you can do from here on out.

2- One of the best steps you can take here is to be a good friend to your ex. Be a really good friend and show your ex that you understand them and can hang out with them without a bunch of drama. Show your ex that you can joke and have a fun healthy friendship no matter what. When the stress and drama of the break up blow over, there is a very good chance that your ex will realize they still want you.

3- When you talk with your ex, it’s important to be friendly and nice, but don’t be afraid to have a little attitude or joke with them. You want your ex to want you, but you also want them to have the feeling that they can’t have you yet. Playing games isn’t the best way to build a relationship, but playing a little hard to get is going to make you much more interesting to your ex and make them want you more.

4- Play a little hard to get, yes, but be sure that your ex still knows you are available. It’s not a bad idea to flirt and hang out with friends, have a little fun. A little jealousy won’t hurt you, but help you. But, it’s important to keep it safe so that your ex still knows that you’re available or they might not find the motivation to come after you and be interested.

5- Avoid acting desperate, always. Seriously, never ever act desperate, this will make your ex under estimate you and he or she will start to lose interest. Since the goal is of course to make them intrigued by you, you will have to play it cool and show them that you are ok with everything that’s happened and ready to move on. If you act desperate, you will destroy any chance you have of getting back with your ex.

6- When you see your ex looking at you, or think that your ex is looking at you, give them a look out of the corner of your eye. This little sidelong glance will send the message that you are paying attention enough to notice them, but also send them a “you can’t have me” sort of signal.

7- Bring up the good memories you shared in casual conversation. This will remind your ex about the reasons you were together and how good you were with each other. Don’t bring up bad memories and be sure the conversation doesn’t go that way as that will only bring up past hurt and drive your ex away.
