Breakups are never a pretty sight. They also rarely happen in a civil and orderly manner. More often than not, if you are one of the parties involved and you still love your ex, you will be reluctant and would do almost anything just to know how to make your ex boyfriend want you back.
One of the most important things you need to do is avoid directly asking – or even forcing – your boyfriend to come back. This will only lead to a negative effect, further pushing him away from you. This will give him the idea that he has power over you and will prolong your agony out of some sense of misdirected pride or because he sees it as begging. At worst, he may completely disregard you and pity you for your desperation.
Some people may see it in a negative light, but one of the most effective ways is to use your wittiness by playing mind games with your ex boyfriend. This works especially well for men who are full of pride, and may even work on ex boyfriends who no longer love you. In cases like these, you may get him to think twice about his decisions and make him ask himself if his feelings for you are really gone. Even if you don’t get back together, the mental discomfort you caused him will be satisfying enough as a measure of revenge.
One of the oldest mind games to play on your ex boyfriend is to make him jealous. But make sure you know if your boyfriend is the jealous type. Some men are emotionally mature enough that making them jealous would only result in them seeing it as closure, accepting the fact that the two of you will never get back together again. If your ex boyfriend is the jealous and possessive type, making him feel like he is easily replaced will torment him to no end, until he comes crawling back to you out of a hurt sense of pride. If you’re really lucky, he may even come back because he genuinely loves you and has realized that he wants you back.
When using mind games to make your ex boyfriend want you back, it is best to be subtle and not make it look like you are doing it on purpose. If your way is to date guys that he knows, do not do it in places that he expects you to. Use word of mouth between common acquaintances to bring him the news. Making it seem deliberate could throw him into a state of defensive, knee-jerk reaction, and what he does in retaliation could actually affect you as well, making your mind games backfire in the most humiliating way possible.
Lastly, you can make your ex want you back by moving on, improving yourself, and showing the rest of the world that your life will go on without him. It has all the right effects – it shows your ex boyfriend that he is not worthy of your affections, it makes you look strong, mature enough, and desirable. Even if you are not able to reunite with your ex, you have given yourself the opportunity to outgrow the relationship and pursue a new beginning.
