Six More Ways To Ruin Your Chances At Winning Your Ex Back

Listed here are six common mistakes that will make your life even harder:

1.) Failure To Control Your Impulses

Ideally you want some sort of a well thought out plan to follow. At the very least, allow yourself to calm down and carefully take things one step at a time.

This piece of advice is easier said than done but ignoring it can really set your efforts back. The problem with your impulses is that they’re primed by deep seated fears as well as your current emotional state. These fears and emotions are often negative which can lead to actions that produce self defeating results.

2.) Giving Your Ex Lots Of Attention Right After The Breakup

This may make sense when you’re panic stricken. But that’s only because a panic state fills you with an incredible sense of urgency to fix the problem right now at any cost. From her point of view, you will come across as desperate and even a little crazy.

So it’s best to lay off all of the phone calls and text messaging. And to allow the situation as well as yourself, a little time to cool down.

3.) Using Threats

This is a strategy that’s not likely to work anytime soon. Most people respond by getting angry and giving you their piece of mind. Winning someone’s love is all about attraction while threats are a form of coercion.

Keep Those Impulses In Check: 2 Tips

Avoid other stress points in your life. Stress adds up. All of the other things in your life that bother you will weigh you down and make it harder for you to cope with the break up. Everyone has a breaking point. If you don’t control or limit the other sources of stress, you may be pushed over the edge and will find yourself doing or saying crazy things to your ex.
Don’t dwell on your angry feelings and emotions. This is a trap. The more you do it, the harder it becomes to break out of it. Anger makes people stupid. It causes depression. Keep your wits about you because you will need them to do the right thing. When angry thoughts take hold, redirect your focus by doing something else that demands your complete attention.

4.) Stalking

There’s a fine line between determined effort and stalking. If your pursuit goes beyond what’s considered to be normal behavior, you’re stalking. This will only scare her off and possibly land you in jail.

5.) Late Night Phone Calls

It’s late at night and you’re feeling an intense need to call her. You’re feeling very lonely and maybe have some alcohol in you. Try your best not to call her up.

There’s at least two reasons for not calling her. One is that it’s an impulse call made when you’re feeling emotionally weak. Who knows what you’ll end up saying.

The other reason is that you’ll seem desperate and needy. Unless she’s turned on by those qualities, it’s a bad idea.

6.) Anger With Ex’s Friends And Relatives

Don’t get resentful and angry with your ex’s friends and relatives. It is only natural that they’ll side with your ex and gossip about you. Keeping the peace with them will make efforts at getting her back easier.
