In the aftermath of a breakup, there are certain things that will help to get your ex back and there are things that will ruin your chances forever.
How you handle yourself will determine your future and whether you will be able to salvage the relationship.
You need to put your best foot forward at all times because from here on out, your ex is going to notice every move you make and they will be taking mental notes along the way.
In fact, you should have your game-face on minutes after getting dumped.
If you allow yourself to become overwhelmed with emotion and resort to less than desirable behavior, your ex is going to notice and it could very well be the beginning of the end for any hope you had for the relationship.
Okay, so first impressions are important - but what behaviors are going to help you and which ones are going to make things worse? Well, at a bare minimum, you will want to avoid any immature behavior.
This includes begging, pleading, losing your temper and so forth.
In essence, you want to avoid showing any extreme emotion in front of them because this will almost always put you in a bad light.
In fact, what you need to do is show them that you are better than that by adopting a more mature stance.
Avoid getting overly emotional.
Tell them that you accept the breakup (though you are not happy with it) and that you wish them the best.
Doing this is going to send the message that you still care for them, but you are strong enough to get through it with your dignity intact.
A lot of people are unable to show this strength and things can quickly go downhill as a result.
Humans are naturally attracted to signs of strength, character, and high self-esteem.
They are not attracted to signs of desperation.
And though you may think that your ex is a special case, they are just like everyone else when it comes to what creates attraction and what doesn't.
