How To Win Your Ex Back

"Woman, thou art fickle," said the good poet. The chances are when he did so, he spoke from his heart! One of the most intriguing battles between the sexes is the one you, the male of the species, must fight to get your girlfriend back.

Will she? Won't she? These two painful questions gnaw at your heart. But, hey, self recrimination won't get you far. What you need to do is understand how to win your ex back.

To get your girlfriend back, the first thing you must do is establish why she left you in the first place. Life runs to no formula, and neither does love. Poets have gone crazy trying to find out what binds love together and what rends it apart. I'm sure you don't want to go crazy! The path to understand how to win your ex back really lies in asking yourself some hard, straightforward questions. Let's line them up for you.

The first question is the hardest one of all: do you really want her back? Or was she merely an adornment by your side of which you can find replacements aplenty. But the knife can cut both ways. Would she come back to you even if you pleaded with her on bended knee? There wouldn't be a ghost of a chance if she's found a date and moved on.

As you ponder over the break-up you might ask yourself: honestly, whose fault was it? If there was a bitter showdown when the break-up happened, are you ready to make a humble apology and ask to forgive and forget? Remember, to get your girlfriend back you'll really have to grovel - that's how women are! Ask yourself: is she worth this humble act of contrition on your part?

Of course, there are sophisticated ways to apologize. And these aren't too expensive either. An "I love you" card tacked on to an elegantly packed box of chocolates might seem gooey to a man but women's hearts, generally, wilt at this display of renewed devotion. If this doesn't work, don't get panic. There are other ways to get your girlfriend back. If you still have access to your ex, invite her to a quiet lunch. An elegant venue with live music on offer where she hasn't been before is a good choice.

Once there, Beethoven and Brahms will tell you how to win your ex back. And if a pretty damsel smiles and waves at you there, even if you hardly know her, half your battle is won. Your ex reckons she's superior to all others in you ken and it's very likely she'll make up and let bygones be bygones! If you're really wicked and definitely want to get your girlfriend back she could even rope in your winsome colleague and get her to wave at you!

So there you are: how to win your ex back isn't the toughest puzzle on it. The crux of the matter is: do you want to get your girlfriend back?
