If you're wondering "How do I make my ex fall back in love with me?" you must be careful. Things that you are doing to try to make your ex fall back in love with you might seem reasonable to you, but they could actually be ruining your chances. Your actions could quite possibly cause your ex to become annoyed with you or even hate you. Here are some common mistakes people make when trying to get their ex back. If you want to increase your chances of making your ex fall back in love with you then DO NOT do any of these things.

1. Call them several times a day. This will annoy the hell out of them and might end up getting your number blocked. Think about it - doesn't it annoy you when someone calls you constantly. Just because you want to talk to them doesn't mean they want to talk to you. Ouch! Yes, I know it hurts.

2. Writing them constantly to let them know how much you miss them. This includes written letters, emails, and text messages. Doing this is a sure way to be taken for granted and annoy your ex.

3. Frequently reminding your ex of things that they said and promises they made. Nobody likes a gloater or someone who reminds them of the promises they broke. Even if you are right and your ex was wrong in breaking their promises - keep it to yourself. That can be addressed in the future - AFTER you succeed in making your ex fall back in love with you.

4. Follow or stalk them - this is a big no-no. If you get caught you are almost sure to destroy your chances of getting your ex back and it will be pretty embarrassing for you. The only thing you'll accomplish by following or spying on your ex is spooking them (and possibly a restraining order). Don't do it!

5. Fishing for information about your ex from their friends. Your ex will feel like his or her privacy and freedom is being encroached upon and won't take kindly to it. Don't think that you can get your ex's friends to be quiet about it either - 99% of the time they will tell your ex that you've been asking about him or her.

6. Contacting your ex's new boyfriend or girlfriend. This is a recipe for disaster that usually ends up nasty and not being beneficial in your efforts to make your ex fall back in love with you. I don't care how much it hurts to know your ex is with someone else, you have got to resist doing this. More than likely you will end up making both of them hate you and possibly bring them closer together.

7. Trying to get closer to their parents or other family members. People don't take too kindly to others wedging themselves between them and their family members. It is their family, not yours. This mistake will most likely provoke a harsh reaction from your ex. The parents will always side with their child and may end up disliking you because of the strife you are trying to cause in their family.

8. Try dating their best friend. This is something that people often try and that often backfires. It is so easy for anyone to see through this little ploy. Even if the friend doesn't catch on at first, they will eventually and then they'll walk away from you for using them. If you are doing this to get their attention and make your ex jealous, you'll probably get much more than that - their hatred and a complete washing their hands of you.

9. Calling your ex at work. Very stalkish! Nor will your ex won't think to kindly of you if you cause him to get into trouble with his employer.

10. Constantly reminding your ex that you still love them and are there for them - YAWN! That is exactly what your ex will be thinking. How can you expect to make your ex fall back in love with you if they always know you're available and at their beck and call? Once is enough if it must be said at all. Making your ex fall back in love with you will require making them notice what they are missing. This won't happen if you keep thrusting yourself into their life.

So, right about now you're probably wondering "Well then, how DO I make my ex fall back in love with me?" You can get some advice from friends and relatives, but I'd only listen to their advice if they have a history of successful and long lasting romances or if they are trained at giving relationship advice. Taking advice from those with a long list of failed relationships is not the best idea. Or you can try out one of the numerous guides and ebooks on how to get your ex back, which are filled with high quality advice and techniques to make your ex fall back in love with you.
