Sometimes, it's the nostalgia that will get you back together with your ex.
You've probably tried talking, trying to hook up again, and maybe even begging, to no avail.
This means that you've got to pull out the magic tricks to get your ex back.
While some may say that "out of sight equals out of mind," this may not always be the case.
If you are constantly allowing your ex to see you, then your ex doesn't get any time to miss you.
So, the first you should do is stop being around the places your ex goes to.
However, this does not mean that he doesn't still get to hear about you from others.
You can ask your friends to drop small hints about your activities once in a while just to let your ex know how well you are doing.
The second psychological trick you could try is to start going out again.
No use sitting at home wallowing in self pity.
Matter of fact, there's a lot of excitement and fun out there.
Plus, you get to meet a lot of people who could become lifetime friends - maybe one could even turn into something more meaningful.
Third, put away the depression, and start looking at the bright side.
When you start showing that you're not pining for someone, people, especially those of the opposite sex will start to look at you differently.
Even more important, your ex will see that you're doing and looking great without it - quite a statement to make! Finally, why not start talking to close friends and pour your heart out once and for all.
Then, move on.
If your ex tries to get back with you, then good for you! Of course, provided you haven't found someone better by that time!
