Your relationship seemed to be going along smoothly and you felt you had found the love of your life. Then your ex boyfriend told you he needed some space. This caught you completely by surprise and you started to cry and beg him to change his mind. But he walked away and took all of your hopes and dreams with him. Now you are wondering how to stay on his mind and keep him from slipping away.

The first thing you have to do is be strong enough to give him the space he asked for. As hard as it may be, you cannot let him see you in the emotional state  that you are in right now. To win back the love of your life , will require you to have patience and self discipline. Before you have any contact with your ex you need to get your emotions under control. This will not happen over night, and you should not try to rush things.

I know you want your life back the way it was before the breakup, with your ex boyfriend loving you, but that will not happen over night either. You have to allow him to experience his life without you for a while and he will begin to miss you. When your ex begins to miss you, that will be the turning point to getting your ex back. He will start remembering all of the good times you had together and the problems that caused the split will begin to fade. Instead of slipping away, he will start thinking of how he can slip back into your arms. The first sign will be when your friends begin telling you that he has been asking a lot of questions about you.

Since he broke up with you, he may feel that you still hold a resentment toward him. He might want to approach you but is afraid of being rejected. Men cannot take rejection very well and this might be the only thing keeping him from telling you he was wrong. You can speed things up by sending him an email and tell him that your friends have told you he was asking about you. Tell him that if he ever feels he needs to talk to you, he has your number. This keeps you in control, but it leaves the door open for communications to begin. Once the two of you start talking again, you can win back the love of your life .
