Many times when people have been dumped, all they want is the familiarity of their ex. They will do whatever it takes to make their ex come back. However, you shouldn’t do anything while you are under the breakup stress. Doing this can cause you and your ex to forget giving each other a second chance. You especially don’t want this to happen so you have to get them to want you.

If you really want them back, you are going to have to be devious. You want to get their attention without going overboard. You want them to rekindle their interest in you so there are a few things you need to do and need to keep in mind.

Cut Off Contact –

Many people think that the best thing for them to do is shower their ex with all kinds of attention. However, this is actually the worst thing you can do. You should break off all contact. The idea is to get him to miss you. Try to remember the phrase, "Absence makes the heart grow fonder." If you are always with them, how they can miss you? They can’t. You need to give yourself some space to miss one another. They may try to start a new relationship but find themselves comparing and contrasting how your relationship was to the new one.

Peak up Your Appearance –

You’ll want your ex to wonder why he or she ever dumped you. You want them to feel jealous, thus making them feel like a fool for letting you go. However, you can't do this if you are sitting around feeling sorry for yourself. Do something good for yourself. If you have some imperfections you want to "perfect" then write them down and start working on yourself.

Here are some things you can do: get a new haircut, hair color or even hairstyle, buy some new clothes, go on a diet, join a gym and go to the dentist.

Do whatever you can to make yourself more attractive and feel confidence. If you have to leave your house, make sure you look totally hot. Should you pass your ex along while walking or out shopping, you want them to do a double take.

Be Social While Being Attractive –

Now that you got your appearance down, it’s time to get out and socialize. Take some friends with you. Make yourself somewhat the center of attention. Have members of the opposite sex fawn over you. Make sure you go to places that your ex or his/her friends frequent. You want to make them see what they are missing out on. If they see you having a good time, they’ll start thinking of you often. Before you know it, you’ll be having him/her knocking on your door asking for another chance.

You want to show that you can go on without them in your life. Even if you don’t feel like you can, put up a front and try to do it anyway. Before you know it, you’ll be feeling better, wondering why you were so upset about it all. Besides, if they want you and do come back, you have the power to decide if you really want to give them that second chance.
