One indicator that you’re still in love with ex lover is you still miss him/her despite the way you were rejected. Though you’re devastated because there’s already someone else, the love fizzled out or you’re not anymore his/her priority, you still can’t burn the letters, throw the pictures or delete his/her last message on your mobile phone. The feeling is still so alive that if a genie showed up, you would request only one thing: you want your beloved back in your arms again. But since the magic lamp is far from your reach, read these tips to guide you to your heart’s desire.
Breathe again.
When the emptiness your ex left in your heart is insatiable, you don’t seem to be in your senses. With spontaneity as your backup, you act as if carefulness is an enemy and the result hurts you more because you end up doing things you shouldn’t be. At this stage, it’s important for you to stay put and be as objective as a scientist. Inhale, exhale and know where you stand before you act.
Respect yourself.
To put it bluntly, don’t exaggerate your desperation. If you do, he/she would assume you want him/her back because you fear no one else would be interested to date you. Stop running after your ex because he/she will just turn to the other direction. If you continue stalking, you’ll get into more troubles. Leave some respect for your own self by not giving everything to him/her. Don’t be pessimistic. Don’t let the negative emotions gobble you up.
Welcome changes.
Try to develop a new hobby that wasn’t part of your routine with your ex. Dip in the swimming pool more often if going to the beach was your least priority. If you used to be the indoor type, go trekking with a mountaineering group. It’s your diversion that will trigger his/her curious soul. When he/she sees you with a different aura, your ex will wonder what changes have happened since you split up.
Stay in touch.
If you’re still in love with ex partner, don’t cut the communication. Gather all your nerves to send him/her an email but as a friend. Give important details about what’s happening in your life. Continue to meet your common friends. They will inform you of the things that he/she can’t directly say to you. This way, you’ll know where to stand and how to get him/her back.
Observe gestures.
If your ex still loves you, your instincts will tell you. The typical signs would include responding to your messages, purposely attending gatherings to see you and asking you and your friends out to enjoy your company. Feel his/her moves. Your years of being together will give you hints if it’s worth another try. Try to be unbiased with your observation. Otherwise, you end up cheating yourself.
Have a talk.
At the right time, initiate a serious conversation. Openly discuss what your problem was, how you hurt each other and which direction you’ll be taking. If your ex is enthusiastic about reminiscing your unforgettable moments, go on. Your recollection will support a few lines from the song, “The Call” by Regina Spektor. The final lines state, “Let your memories grow stronger and stronger ‘til they're before your eyes. You'll come back when they call you. No need to say goodbye.”
If you’re in the middle of a still-in-love-with-ex issue, you try everything to put your relationship back on the road. However, remember that driving in full speed will only put you to danger. You’ll do better if you put on the seatbelt, follow the traffic lights, turn at the right corner and pull the brakes.
If you've been through a rough break up, first you must pull yourself together and here is how to do it: just got dumped. Then, if you still value your ex and the relationship, check out how to get them back on ways to get ex back.
