Love doesn't come along every day. Most women know this all too well, so when they do find a man they love, they will likely do everything in their power to hold onto him. Unfortunately, sometimes relationships end. However, those deep feelings of adoration can't simply disappear. If you are still in love with your ex and you want him back, you need to approach the situation in a very specific way. If you are wondering how to tell your ex boyfriend that you still love him, consider keeping that to yourself, at least until you've established a friendship with him.

If you tell your ex boyfriend that you still love him shortly after the break up, it's likely going to make him feel uncomfortable. When a relationship ends, both partners must work through their feelings in their own way. Calling a man and professing your undying love for him, seems like a great way to get him back, but generally it will only backfire on you. By telling him that you want him back so soon after the split, you are setting yourself up to look desperate. Men don't want to be in relationships with women who don't have choices and self respect. You'll get your chance to tell him how you are feeling, just don't do it within a few days or weeks after the split.

The same holds true with emails or letters. As women, we often feel the need to write down our thoughts. Doing this may seem like a great way to tell your ex boyfriend you still love him. The problem with this is that you'll end up pouring your heart out to him in written words, and he likely isn't going to respond the way you anticipate. Again, proclaiming your love to your ex in a letter will only serve to make him feel cornered and uncomfortable. If you really must write down what you are feeling, do so in a journal, or prepare a letter but don't email or send it.

One of the best approaches to adopt when you want your ex boyfriend back is to be patient. You really need for him to miss you and he won't be able to do that if you are constantly within his reach. If you make yourself scarce by immersing yourself in the things you like to do, he'll eventually notice you aren't as available. Never give up your life while you are waiting for the relationship to be rekindled. Instead, get out and have fun and live your life. Once your ex realizes what he had in you, he'll come looking for you. It's then that you can tell your ex boyfriend what you truly feel. Chances are he'll be doing the very same thing with you.
