Getting back together with the person you love after a long time, needs to be handled with delicacy. You need to take a careful look at your new situation and you need to slow it down, do not rush into anything. Time may have changed things quite a bit between the two of you.

For most people, a mourning period is taken to process the relationship and its issues, and after that most people try and move on with their lives. These are the type of issues that you have to look out for.

Depending on how long ago you broke up, you guys are probably different people now. And a lot could have happened.

During the time apart, did you date other people, and were they also seeing someone? This is one of the things that you must talk to your ex partner about, if you are considering getting back together with them. You both need to understand what the other has been up to, as that may affect how you feel about getting back together.

If you are contemplating getting back together with an ex after a long, do not make the assumption that their life was at a standstill and that they were pining for you the whole time. You both need to talk about what happened the time you were apart, and only then can you decide if you still want to be with your ex.

Getting back together without knowing the circumstances of when you were apart is a bad idea, because you might find out certain things later that make you more unhappy and make you regret getting back together with your ex. Honesty is the best policy in this case, and it is possible that because you were with the other people, that is why you realized you still loved your ex and wanted them back.

The other issue that you both need to re-visit is the reason for the breakup. What caused the breakup to begin with? Have you both dealt with it? If it is something that either one of you did, has the other person forgiven that fault?

If there is still resentment about whatever may have happened, then it is not a good idea to get back together because you are both not ready. Do not make the mistake of getting back together with your partner only to realize that there is still anger about things that happened in the past. You must iron out all the issues before you make the decision to get back together.

Your success in getting back with your partner will also depend on where they are and how they feel about getting back. It will make your job easier if they also want to get back together with you. If they are not really on board and you are sure you want them back, you can try wooing them like you did the first time around.

There are no guarantees when it comes to love, but if someone means that much to you, you do whatever you can to have them back in your life.

If your ex can see how much they mean to you, they might actually come around and want you in their life. In a way, getting back together allows you to look back, learn from the mistakes of the past, and gives you that fresh new start to have a go at your relationship and make a success of it.

Text Your Ex Back - How To Spark Curiosity In Your Ex So They Will Talk To You Again

Before I show you how to spark curiosity in your ex through text messages, I'm going to assume the following things about you:

  • You sincerely want your ex back because the two of you had chemistry and the relationship is something worth fighting for.
  • You're not trying to be manipulative or seeking revenge on your ex.
  • You truly want to commit to getting your ex back and aren't just doing it because you're currently feeling needy or sad.

If the above things apply, then you're now ready to make contact with your ex again so you can work on building a new, better relationship than you had before. Remember, your old relationship is dead. It's never coming back. This will be an entirely new relationship with your ex.

Take out your cell phone and let's get started.

When you want to text your ex back, your first few text messages shouldn't try to convince your ex to meet up so you can talk things out. They shouldn't bring up old issues from your past relationship, nor should they be aimed at getting your ex into bed.

Instead, you simply want to open the lines of communication and create a positive, fun experience so your ex can open their mind to being with you again. Also, don't be alarmed if you don't get a response right away. It's perfectly normal and doesn't mean your texts aren't having an effect.

Ok, to get the ball rolling you'll want to use an "across the bow" text. This is a shot in the dark text aimed at engaging your ex without being pushy. It doesn't demand a response, but your ex may still decide to start up a conversation from it.

There are a couple ways you can go about this. The first way is to find a common experience you and your ex share and turn it into something positive. The idea is that you came across something that reminded you of your ex. Remember, your ex hasn't heard from you for a while so this will be unexpected and hopefully a nice, positive surprise.

For example, "I just walked by a large display of Grey's Anatomy DVD's. It totally made me think of you for the first time in a while because I know you never miss an episode. Hope you're doing well."

Another way to approach this type of text is to offer up a quick compliment and mention that you're OK with the breakup.

For example, "Just thought of you. I'm glad you were part of my life. Keep being you and I hope you're doing great."

How your ex responds (positive, negative, neutral, or not at all) will dictate where you go from here, but always remember this: in your first few texts, you never want to come off as needy or overly eager.

Next, here's an awesome text message technique you can use to text your ex back.
