Very few breakups are friendly, but some are almost a downright brawl. If your breakup was especially bad, you are thinking that your ex boyfriend is gone for good. But, he is only gone for good if you want him to be. If you still love him and want him, there are ways of getting back the love of your life after a bad breakup. Here are some effective tips to make him want you again.

The main thing you must do is not to make matters worse. You might want to call him or try to see him face to face and tell him you are sorry, but soon after a breakup is not the time for that. A much better choice is to put as much distance between you as possible. If you are afraid of losing him to someone else, you won't. Your ex is probably mad at all women right now and he is not likely to be looking for someone else.

Staying away from the man you love will not be easy, but remember the longer you hold out, the better your chances of getting your ex back will be. Although it will be hard for you to believe it, your ex will begin to miss you as much as you miss him. Absence makes the heart grow fonder and the more time he has to experience his life without you, the more he will want you back.

Take this time away from him to get your emotions under control and do some repair work. Get a new hair style, manicure and a tan. Shop for new clothes to accent your new look. When you feel that you are the lovely woman your ex fell in love with again, it will be time to let him know it. Get some friends together and go out for a good time. Stop by the places your ex boyfriend hangs out and be sure he gets a good look at you. Keep a good distance from him and leave before he can engage you in conversation.

After being without you and thinking he might have lost you, your guy will be knocked for a loop. He will not be able to believe what he saw, but he will want to make sure. You can expect a call from him in the next few days and he will want to meet for a talk. Agree to meet him and be sure you have your emotions under control. Wear another of your new outfits and his favorite scent. Be cheerful and sincere, but let him do most of the talking. Getting back the love of your life after a bad breakup, is all about showing him how much he needs you in his life. This will make him want you again.
