How To Win Her Back – Don’t Play Games

Because you are reading this article there is a good chance that you and your girlfriend have just broken up. If she dumped you because of something you did, you probably want to know how to get her back. However, it is important to remember that she is not a prize you are trying to chase. She is someone you love, and you surely don’t want to hurt her. So, take heed to some advice on how to get your ex back.

The first thing you need to do is understand what it was that made her leave you in the first place. If it is something obvious then this is an easy step, but if it is something not so intuitive you will need to do a few things.

The best solution would be, of course, to talk with your ex. However, sometimes it might be wiser to approach her friends first. Your ex girlfriend has probably talked about your break up to her friends, and they may be able to give you some answers.

Now, that you hopefully know the main reason for your break up, it is time to admit for yourself that it was wrong what you did, whatever it was. This is very important if you want that your ex girlfriend forgives you.

If possible, sit down with your ex and discuss the issues, and what specifically you have done to cause her to break-up with you. Now, you may need to allow some time for her to cool off and reflect on your relationship before you approach her.

One way to approach your ex is also through her close friend. You can ask her to tell your ex how sorry you are, and that you want to talk with her.

Never act arrogant or macho. This is the surefire way to expel her for good. Be gentle and move slowly. Listen carefully what she wants to say to you. Be sincere with your apology.

Do not speak at her at your place or any area you frequented. A coffee shop is always nice, or a park perhaps. If you think the conversation may become heated then select someplace with some privacy where you both can let your emotions flow.

You however, need to keep you cool and not be on the defensive. It’s alright to show some emotion. It will let her know you care. But refrain from yelling or pointing out her flaws.

Listen, understand, and confirm. It is important that your ex believes you have understood the reasons why she broke up with you. She also wants you to be sincerely sorry about your doings.

So, here was some tips that should help you to get your ex girlfriend back without playing any head games. Remember that it is you who needs to correct things, not your ex.

How to get the guy? Date advice, Tips, tricks, Flirting Techniques?

Hey okay SOOOO lets cut to the chase

Met a guy, he had a HUGE party at his house, i went with some friends, I ended up dancing with him about 4 times. definitely flirty
then about a week later he texts me and asks if when he gets back in town, if i wanted to go see a movie with him. I said YES of course, so hes gone for 2 weeks without contact.
Before he left, I mentioned my friends big “sweet 16″ birthday party/dance and he asked if he should go, I said YES WITH ME! and he said hed love to, and thanks for inviting him. SO he just recently broke up with his longtime girlfriend (were both about 16/17 btw) and hes been majorly on the rebound but i am starting to think hes getting over it.

The movies will be my first REAL date. and I REALLY NEED TIPS and help on what to do, how to act, etc.

The party, I think I can handle. I just REALLY want to impress him. I want to show him im not your average skanky girl that is just all over him. I want him to know I am genuine.

HELP!?!?! guys or girls advice would be great!! THANKS SO MUCH!!!
also, Do i kiss him on the 1st date? or wait? what would be appropriate? I will probly WANT to kiss him, but I dont want to mess it up and make him think im an easy girl cause I am SOOO totally not.

THANKS AGAIN…

linda answers:

Very easy situation. Though personally, I don’t think you should go to the movies with him for a first date. I think you should ask him to take somewhere else where you could really bond and talk to each other. When you’re at the movies, you obviously can’t talk to each other, so it really much of a first date. Maybe movie dates in the future, but try going to the beach or what not as a first. The park is even better than a movie.

But here are the tips you’ve asked for.

#1: Don’t be negative about dating. Why should a man pursue someone who isn’t happy? It’s ineffective manhandling to dump your dating disappointments on bachelor No. 3.

Romance Rule: Be a romantic challenge, not a mental health challenge.

#2: Don’t get tipsy. Always maintain enough sobriety to assess your date’s character. Practice restraint, and don’t have more than a drink or two when you’re out on a first date. Otherwise, how in the world can you possibly observe him and decide if he’s remotely right for you?

Romantic Rule: Always stay sober enough to remember how naughty you were the night before!

#3: Don’t talk badly about your exes. I don’t care if he cheated on you with your sister, don’t recite a laundry list of grievances about your exes. This will only make you sound unavailable at best, or worse, wounded.

Romantic Rule: We all have baggage. Keep it in the closet on first dates.

#4: Don’t spook your suitor. Now is not the time to point out your physical flaws. Only bring these complaints to people who can actually do something about them, and not to men who will now be forced to lie to you if they possess good manners.

Romantic Rule: Confidence is sexy! Sometimes, thoughts are for the inside.

#5: Don’t talk about your personal pet peeves. Although your therapist might get butterflies inside when you talk about how traumatized you are by the staggering number of germs that thrive in public restrooms, the typical male will be horrified. You’ll have violated the sacred air space of “romantic quality time” and these little monologues of strange pain will be as off-putting as if you started sorting unwashed laundry in a restaurant.

Romantic Rule: You already know all about you. Keep your problems to yourself and get to know him.

#6: Don’t chase your date. Never deprive a man of the thrill of the chase. Besides, it’s so much fun being caught! A woman can always initiate a first tea date, but after that, it’s up to a man to decide whether he wants to pursue you. Entice men, play with them, and then release them! Allow men to initiate and take the lead in moving your relationship forward.

Romantic Rule: When men chase you, they’re much less likely to fly away.

#7: Don’t keep squawking.

“Don’t feel pressured to try to fill up every second with meaningless chatter.”

If the conversation falls silent for a moment, don’t panic, just let it happen. Natural pauses are sexy, and body language can be so much more powerful than words. Slowly smile at him and breathe. You may be surprised when he blurts out in the middle of a deliciously pregnant pause, “Come here and kiss me!”

Romantic Rule: Remember, sometimes less conversation really is more.

#8: Learn how to leave. Anyone can be pleasant when they’re enjoying themselves, but the true test of character is how one behaves when terribly bored, or worse, treated shabbily. There’s nothing to be gained by suffering through a terrible date, so if you’re having an awful time, depart quickly and gracefully, without being rude. When you’re itching to leave, say: “Thank you so much for meeting me. I think it’s time for me to go on home, Jerome. (Smile) Take care.” Extend your hand for a quick shake, swiftly turn on your heel and depart.

Dating tips needed!?

Ok so i’ve added a girl i met on facebook, same city, etc etc. I really like her, we just met okay and i would like to meet her in real life, what advice, tips, tricks would you give me to take it to that point? Please give me good tips i really like her and want to meet her. I just met her so don’t want to be too sudden!

linda answers:

Ask her if she WANTS to meet at the park, or someplace similar to that, someplace private yet still public and safe sounding. Most girls would like to feel like they’re safe and protected, its in their evolutionary genetic code.
This may sound stupid but find out what sign she is and go from there too. For example, if she is a Cancer then ask to take her out to eat because cancers love to eat.

Thomas asks…

need some advice on seeing my long distance boyfriend this weekend and i have a fever blister?

I am leaving friday to see my long distance boyfriend this weekend. I have a fever blister the size of Texas on my lip and because of the severity of this blister I am very insecure about it. My bf and i have been dating for almost 5 months now and he has not seen me with a blister before. I am very nervous and afraid that he will be grossed out and turned off. Does anyone have any advice, tips or tricks for me?

linda answers:

>Avoid acidic and salty foods. Foods such as chocolates, peanuts, grains, peas, seeds, oatmeal and whole-wheat are high in arginine, therefore they should be restricted. Avoid tea and coffee. Eat vitamin rich diet. Your diet must include vitamin A, C and E. Zinc and iron are also necessary. Include garlic in your diet. Eat fresh food with high antioxidants and high complex carbohydrates. Avoid processed food. Eat lots of fruits and green leafy vegetables.

Mandy asks…

Tips for a new college student, do you have any?

I’m going off to college this fall. I’m so nervous and excited. Do you have any tips, tricks or advice you really wished you knew? It could be about anything. Scholarships, money, avoiding the freshman 15, dating, school work and test prep. What do you think is the MOST important thing for someone to know when they go to college?

linda answers:

BE OPEN MINDED! College is a culture shock. This is the first time you are completely on your own so you have to be responsible. No matter what anyone else says, academics always come first. If you work hard you play hard. You will meet so many different people and experience new situations so whatever comfort zone you had in high school will be challenged. Be your own person. And don’t be nervous. Everyone is in the same situation as you so don’t feel like you’re the only one. Really pay attention to the syllabus because each professor has a different teaching style. And never feel pressured into doing something you don’t want to do. Best of luck! You will do great!

George asks…

I’m getting married and need some tips?

Hi! well like my title says, I’m getting married next fall and am just starting the planning process. We have yet to pick and exact date, but we’ve pretty much decided on aug of 2011. We’re trying to have a classy, elegant wedding while spending as little as we can. So, I’m more or less asking for any tips, tricks, advice or anything else anyone would like to give me. Thanks!
Thanks, I’ll definitely check that website out!
Thanks Dev =0)

linda answers:

Hi Simi, congrats! You are right on track with picking out your month, but don’t choose a day yet! Find the venue you want, and choose a day based on their availability. Most places offer discounts on Sunday weddings or weekday weddings (weekdays are hard for guests to do).

Definitely sign up with theknot.com. Keep an eye on their checklist, budgeter, and clearance shop!

First find your reception hall. Pick your colors after (so they don’t clash), and search for a place to have the ceremony nearby (if you aren’t going to do it all at one location. It IS typically cheaper to do it all together). Look into some hotels, some of the less “fancy” chains like Holiday Inn might surprise you with how nice their event spaces are (in some cases).

Try to pick a place that does wedding packages, not only will this save you a ton of effort, but it can sometimes save money. A reception hall will contract with the same vendors each time, which means they get discounts. Many times, it is cheaper to book a wedding package with a cake and centerpieces included than to buy them separately yourself, but do the math and figure it out.

Good luck!

What Is The Best Way To Get A Woman Back

Few things in life suck as much as losing someone you love.  It’s very hard to deal with and many people will do just about anything to find out the best way to get a woman back.  If you want to get back with your ex, don’t give up. It is possible and I’ll show you how.

In order to get back with your ex you’re going to need to think outside the box.  When most people are trying to get back with their ex they almost always do the wrong things.

That is why listening to your friends might be the worst thing you can do because chances are they’ll tell you to do the exact opposite of what you should really be doing.

Here is a list of some Do’s and Don’ts.  Follow this list and you will have a much better chance of getting back with your ex.

DON’T S

1) Harass, badger, nag, or threaten.  No one likes to be pushed.  Don’t chase after her.  She already gets the fact that you still care and you want her back, now it’s time to back off a little bit and give her some space.

2) Lock yourself in your house and never go out.  This is what many people do.  They go to work but other than that they just hide in a dark room.

3) Hookup with someone else.  Not only is this a good way to lose your girlfriend for good, it’s also unfair to the new woman.  You would just be using her to get over your hurt.

DO’S

1) Give your woman some space.  Give her time to miss you.  She can’t remember you fondly and miss you if you are constantly in her face.  This can be very difficult to do but it’s one of the most important things to remember if you want her back.

2)  Go out with your friends.  Try to have fun.  It will be hard, but it’s very important not only for your mental health but also so that your ex will start to see you, again, as a fun loving person.  The way she saw you when you first got together.

3) Be honest about whether or not the relationship is worth saving.  Not all relationships should be saved.  Also be willing to honestly admit whatever part you had in the relationship falling apart and be willing to make some changes to your behavior.

How to win love back is difficult because it goes against every instinct that we have.  For instance, when a woman walks away from a man, it is in his nature to chase her down and recapture her.

Men love the chase.  They love to be on the hunt.  But, when a woman has walked away, she needs space, not a chase.

As hard as it is for men to recognize this, it is sometimes the only way to win love back.

That means that when a woman leaves you, be very careful about what the next actions you take are because they could be crucial in whether you get her back or not.

For instance, don’t call, email, or text the woman.  Let her contact you first.

Women always need to talk.  She won’t be satisfied until she’s had a chance to bring closure to the relationship.  But, let her initiate this call.  By waiting for her to make the call, you have let her know that you are not desperate for her.  This gives you the upper hand.

Now, you may be wondering if this will show her that you don’t care.  But, the opposite is true.  How to win love back begins with a recognition that sometimes women really do need space to figure out what is going on in the relationship.

Sometimes women need to make a “grand gesture” to illustrate their independence.  This can take the form of walking out or saying “I never want to see you again.”

But, if she is in love with you, she doesn’t really mean this.  What she’s really saying is “let me have some time to process what just went on.”

If you have done something to hurt her, you need to be contrite when she calls you.  You need to show that you are ready to make a change and that you value both her and the relationship.  But you need to give her the space she needs to process the hurt.

However, sometimes women make these “grand gestures” simply to get attention.  If you’ve got a game player on your hands, you need to take control right now and let her know that you are not going to put up with her antics.  One way you do this is to not play the game.  And that means not to chase her every time she goes away.

There are many reasons that women walk away from you and tell you that they never want to see you again.  Sometimes they are hurt and sometimes they are just trying to be manipulative.  In either case, you don’t want to be the first one to call because that puts you in the position of being desperate.

Instead, let her call you.  That way, you have some control over how the call goes.  Be sympathetic to her needs, but don’t put up with any bull.  That’s how to win love back.

If you’re serious about finding a way to win back love, then it means you’re going to have to start using your head and stop following your heart!  It really is that simple.

So let’s look at this!  Your heart is no doubt telling you to drop everything, chase down your ex and make them listen to what you have to say, whether they want to or not.  You heart has convinced you that all your ex has to do is to hear and understand just how much you miss, love and want them back and your ex will forget about everything that went wrong take you back on the spot!  Wrong!

To win back love your head would never tell you to do any of that, instead your head would say back off, get a grip and take your time.  Guess which one you should be listening to!  Yep, your head!

So, leave your ex alone, don’t call them, don’t try to accidentally bump into them wherever you know they hang out and don’t send them love notes – in short make no attempt whatsoever to contact them.

By contacting them, you’re making yourself appear desperate, a pain in the butt and someone that no right minded person would even want to be around never mind consider dating again.  Like a diamond that increases in value the rarer it is, where your ex is concerned, aim to be rare!  Let your ex wonder where you are and why they haven’t heard from you and just like that they will want to hear from you and see you.

If you’re stuck with a problem and the first person you would usually call is your ex, then you’re going to have to figure out how to solve that problem yourself.  Not only does this enhance your standing with your ex, because they realize that you can cope on your own, but it also enhances your own standing in your own head.  If you figure out how to cook that favorite meal that your ex used to cook for you – you realize you can cope!  If you figure out how to change the oil in your car – again you realize that you can cope!

The art to win back love is based in rationale and calmness.  Only then will your ex give you the time of day.  Whatever fire is burning in your heart for your ex, allowing it to run riot and influence you unduly will only be to your detriment.  Calm the flames of your passion and instead use the logical!  That is what will ultimately help you to win back love.
