The image keeps coming back. Your ex boyfriend standing there and saying he thought he needed a break and you should put the relationship on hold for a while. You couldn't believe your ears. He was dumping you. Some of your girlfriends had been dumped but you never thought it would happen to you. But here you are bursting into tears again and wondering what to do to get your guy back.

First of all here is what you should not do. I hope you haven't already done these things but if you have, do not continue doing them. Do not lose your composure and get emotional. You need clear thinking and determination to do what I am about to tell you so you can get your ex boyfriend running back asking forgiveness . Do not run after your ex and beg him to take you back. This is what you are going to get him to do. Beg you to take him back. To set him up you will need to stay away from him for at least two weeks. Longer would be best, but I know how badly you want your man back so do the best you can.

You want to make this time away from your ex count, because when he does see you again you are going to drive him crazy with desire. So, go on a shopping spree and get some real hot clothes. Go to a good salon and get yourself the works. New hairdo, tanning job and maybe even a new hair color. If you need to, go on a crash diet and lose a few pounds. You are going to look great.

To make all this effort at self improvement pay off in your quest to get your ex boyfriend back, he will need to see you. So, gather up some of your friends and go partying. Go where your ex usually can be found and show off your stuff. Let him look but not touch. Keep far enough away from him so he cannot engage you in conversation, but close enough to flirt with him a little. Do not stay too long. Just long enough for his eyeballs to get twice their normal size.

He will probably try to call you in the next few days but do not answer the phone. Let him sweat. Next, you dump him. Call your ex and tell him you want to thank him for making you see that the breakup was a good idea. Do not elaborate. Make it short, but be courteous. Now he knows what rejection feels like and he will be at your door seeking forgiveness in record time.
