1 - Keep in mind , first and foremost , that patience is a virtue . Do not rush anything , but rather start things off with simple comments whenever you encounter your ex . This can be as simple as waving or just saying hello .
When these encounters happen , you should maintain eye contact so that they know you are communicating with them and not with somebody else , but do not let it go much further than this .
2 - Try slowly implementing conversation again , making an attempt to talk to them when you can . Remember that you should keep your conversation brief , and rather basic in nature . Do not reveal too much , because mystery is actually quite appealing .
Also , if you run into your ex love at a party or a social gathering and your friends come into the room , you may consider stopping the conversation with your ex and focus your attention on your friends . This will let your ex know that , while the communication between the two of you is nice , they are not your highest priority right now . Don ' t be afraid to flirt a little bit here and there as well .
3 - Keep things fresh . Make sure that you look good , and smell good , and that you keep things changed up on a fairly regular basis in order to keep your ex interested in you . You should put some thought into your appearance because maintaining your good looks will show confidence and respect for your appearance and which is something that most people of the opposite sex find quite attractive .
4 - Don ' t be afraid to make a few honest compliments to your ex every so often . You are going to want to make sure that your ex feels good any time they are around you . Talk about the good times that you spent together , bringing up only good memories from the past . Help them to remember some of the best highlights from the former days of your relationship and enjoy the reminiscing while simultaneously working to get them back .
Try to become your ex ' s friend first and foremost . They will feel more comfortable with you and , if they want you back , they will eventually let you know . Be a true friend , open up to them , show them a nice time . If their feelings for you are rekindled , they will let you know .
Take things slowly and don ' t act too needy . Instead , just play it cool and let them come to you . If things are meant to be , they will be , and you will get your ex love back through the process .
