There are a lot of things you can do to try to get an ex boyfriend back, some right things and some wrong things. You want to make sure you are doing the right things to give you a better chance of getting your relationship back.

1. Show Him That You Have Grown

No matter how badly behaved you were previously, you need to show your ex that you have matured and are willing to admit that you have made some mistakes. Also you are going to show them that with this new found maturity you are willing to work at trying to change whatever had gone wrong in your relationship.

If you think some of the things you had done were sabotaging the relationship, work on those things and you will come out a better person and a better partner. Remember though that it takes two to tango and your ex had probably done or said some things he shouldn't have also. But concentrate on correcting your own behavior and he must recognize and correct his own. He won't thank you for pointing out his mistakes, so let him discover them for himself.

2. Take Some Cooling Off Time

After the breakup has occurred you shouldn't rush into trying to immediately fix the relationship. You both need some space first in order for tempers to cool and hurt feelings to heal.

Being apart for awhile will give you both the opportunity to look back and figure out where you both had gone wrong. Cracks in the relationship will be more visible at a distance and when you are thinking more logically with a cool head. Maybe some things can be fixed and some cannot. Give yourself a chance to find out.

3. Be Mature And Don't Play Mind Games With Emotions

Don't use mind games to try to get your ex boyfriend back. Blowing hot one minute and cold the next is not the way to heal your relationship. This will only make him think there will be more of the same if you get back together. You need to be the bigger person and not stoop to such methods.

Your attitude during the cooling off period will set the tone for any reconciliation attempts. If you are not hassling, threatening, or belligerent you will attract his attention in a more positive way.

Don't give up! Keep a cool head and you will have a better chance of getting your boyfriend back and beginning a much better relationship than previous.
