The Main Reason Most Couples Break Up.

The main reason couples break up is due to a loss of emotional attraction. A loss of emotional attraction is not sexual. If you have heard the line “it’s not you, it’s me,” then you know that she is trying to remove any blame from you and place it on herself.

However, the answer to your problem is quite clear. You have to work on yourself first in order to win her back. But how do you do that?

Understand You First.

First things first, we need to understand ourselves before we can build on qualities that she was attracted to in the first place.

There are many steps you can take to become a better version of yourself. If you feel like you need to improve your personality, work on your confidence and mental health. If you feel like there is something missing in your life that’s important, consider adding activities that interest you.

In order to become a better you, you need to be willing to put in the work. If you want to improve your health, start by making small changes such as adding more fruits and vegetables into your diet. If you want to improve your fitness, try walking for at least 30 minutes every day. If you want to become a better person, don’t be afraid to give of yourself and help those in need of a hand.

Think about what she was attracted to in the first place and make these traits irresistible.

Rebuild the attraction in a new way. Your ex-girlfriend doesn’t want a repeat of the same relationship; she wants something new and different.

Tip “Here are some questions you can ask yourself to figure out what went wrong”.

1. Why did your relationship end?

2. What went wrong?

3. How much do you miss her?

4. What are you willing to change to get her back?

5. How badly do you want her back?

6. What are your specific goals for winning her back?

7. What will you do differently this time around?

Absence Makes Heart Grow Fonder.

We have all heard the proverb “absence makes the heart grow fonder” well it’s true!

Once you’ve accepted it was also your responsibility to find out why your relationship didn’t work in the first place, it’s time to make her miss you.

This is a one-month challenge where you don’t text her, you don’t phone her, you don’t email her, and you don’t show up where she is, no like on social media, Instagram, Snapchat, or Facebook.

You don’t want to beg or plead with her to take you back, one more chance, etc. The emotional connection has gone, so the best way to get that flame back is not to be around her.

Your absence allows your ex-girlfriend time to heal from the relationship, but this time allows your ex to become lonely or miss you.

Remember, don’t contact your ex if you want her back!

After The Break-Up.

Never contact your ex-girlfriend after you break up. You will be in a negative mood, and in a bad place, you might be going over what was said or done in the heat of the moment. However, you need to realize this is not helping you win her back. You need to change the way you think and talk, you need to have positive body language and become a happier person.

The quality of your thoughts is key to winning her back and the people around you. Your friends will talk so don’t run her down in any way.

Good Friends.

Don’t listen to advice from friends and family, as they will only be on your side. It’s best to hang out with people who lift you up in life. They say that a rising tide raises all ships, and it’s true that you want to be around good, positive people in order to capture some of their spirits.

On the flip side, there are people in your life who want to keep you down. They will try to convince you to stay in the situation that has you feeling like nothing more than a robot, rather than bringing out your true potential. But the truth is, they only want what’s best for themselves and they’ll say whatever they need to make sure you stay where they can keep an eye on you. Remember to stay away from negative people.

Meet New People.

This is a game-changer, when we start to meet new people or groups of people we find out new things about ourselves

Meeting new people is one of the main reasons why we are all here. Meeting new people is a huge part of our human nature and it’s something that transcends culture, time and place. There’s something about sharing experiences with others that makes life more interesting – whether it’s learning about someone else’s life or sharing a laugh together.

One way to meet new people is by joining a group. It is an easy way to get the social interaction you need. Groups can be your friends, family, school or work colleagues and they are all small groups of people who have similar interests.

Start Dating.

Many people think that it’s healthy to start dating in the month of no contact. You never know when you may meet someone who is just right for you and you may not want to get back with your ex. It’s also a way of making your ex jealous and wondering what you’re doing with your new potential love interest.

Most couples share friendship groups it won’t take long for the word to get back to your ex that you the dating seen again.

Change Your Look.

You need to fix up your wardrobe and get down to the gym in order to look your best when trying to get your ex-girlfriend back. Looking good makes us feel good and when we feel good, we move in a more positive way that attracts people to us.

So figure out a new diet plan, get to the gym more often and beef up. Then when the next time you see your ex girlfriend she will be blown away by the way you look.

Remember This.

Giving your ex-space is the best thing you can do when you break up. You want her to miss you like crazy and then be wowed by you when you do finally make contact again.

Connect Again.

Only connect again after 30 days and you have changed the way you think, look and move.

This is a true story that someone told me, after 30 days out of touch with their ex girlfriend their life had changed drastically. This person said they felt more positive and fulfilled than they had ever imagined and way ready to connect again to see where they go from there.

Send A Text Message.

I’m sending a text message. Don’t DM or PM on social media. Text messages are more personal than emails, and they’re more efficient. Check out digtial body lanauge here………………………………….

When you send your text you want to keep it like-hearted and reminder of a fun time you had once. Something like “Remember that time we went to that restaurant in New York, do you remember the name of it?”

This message should trigger memories and the fun you used to have. You want to get in her mind. Once you have the information, don’t overdo the message. Thank her and leave it a week.

If You Don’t Get A Text Back.

Don’t contact her again for another week. You want to leave time to show you’re not too bothered about this and don’t seem desperate to get back with her. Try something different in a week’s time, remember a time when you had so much fun together.

Meet Her For The First Time In a Month.

If you get a reply, your next move is to ask her for help. You can do this by asking for her help with homework or even by asking her advice on a project you’re working on.

When you ask for advice as to meet you for a coffee to go over details, but come from a place of truth, you really want to figure out something. It’s not about tricking her to meet you or you could end up messing things up permanently.

Rebuild Attraction.

You want to start rebuilding that attraction after a month of working out, getting a haircut, and some new clothes? It’s time to show up as your best self. You want to start to flirt with her again and regain that connection.

Remember to keep it playful and positive. You want to build attraction again. If you’re unsure of the signs she likes you again, check out this article on signs she likes you.

Your End Move.

Ok, if all has gone well and you’re in her good books, she feels comfortable with you and is showing signs that she wants to be around you again. It’s time to invite her over.
