Five Tips For Getting Your Ex-Girlfriend Back Without Losing Your Self Respect

Think you don’t stand much chance of getting your ex girlfriend back without begging or apologizing for things you didn’t even do? If so, you’ve fallen into the same trap I did after my girlfriend walked out. Don’t feel bad; most guys react the same way in this situation. Nine chances out of ten, you’re doing the exact opposite of what you should be and it’s only making your ex glad she left.

Here’s what you should be doing instead:

No woman in her right mind is going to go back to a guy who’s hunting her. Take a few days to collect your thoughts and then try a few times to contact her. If she doesn’t respond, move on to the next step, which is…

Talk to her friends! Not what you wanted to hear, I bet. Yeah, trying to impress her friends was hard enough when you were going out, but now that she’s spent hours telling them what a jerk you are, how are you supposed to approach them?

Unfortunately, though, when it comes to getting your girlfriend back, these are exactly the people you need to be talking to because they have the most power to sway your ex. If you can explain your side of the story and at least get a little sympathy, the next time she mentions you, they’re at least going to put in a good word for you.
