After the end of your relationship, you will have to lay low and let your boyfriend know that you have accepted the breakup. After losing sight of each other for a while, your ex will start to wonder what you’re up to. His breaking safety net, the only thing keeping him safe in his decision to leave you, should be almost completely removed by now, and he’ll be internally concerned about it. Now is the time to make him want you back.
Having a good time without your ex is your next step. Not only will this help you work through the pain and depression surrounding the unwanted end of your relationship, but it will also help him take a real interest in your daily activities. Going out with friends, having fun, smiling, laughing…these things are good for your mental health and bad for your boyfriend’s ego…especially if he sees or hears you doing them.
Guys are drawn to positive social situations exactly like this: girls who are fun, funny, and active. Seeing you having fun like this suddenly brings back memories of the early parts of your courtship, as well as the fun times you had back then. But when you’re laughing and having fun without it? He makes your ex wonder if you really need him or not. This will make him jealous, and in turn, he will make him want to win you back.
In addition to this, you will be wondering how your own dating situation is currently. Knowing or hearing that you go out and have fun, he will realize that it is only a matter of time before you meet someone else. This is something he doesn’t want: he closes the door so he can get you back whenever he wants, and if he ever wants. Guys always love knowing that they can go back and reverse a breakup if they later change their minds. By taking away the possibility of that, he is putting you on the fast track to decide if ending your relationship was a good idea or not in the first place.
Using other guys to make your ex boyfriend jealous is never a good move, especially if you want him back. Playing games like that won’t help you rebuild a healthy relationship once you get your man back, and will only lead to resentment and future fights that you don’t really need. So have fun, have fun with your friends and go wherever you want… but keep in mind that your ultimate goal is to get your ex boyfriend back.
